:)
TRIP DATES:
December 19th - 27th
(please see attached brochure for the detailed itinerary)
TRIP PRICE:
Rs. 36,000/-
(per person for a group of 8 people)
The trip begins & ends at Guwahati.
We will meet
at
Guwahati on Saturday, December 19th by 13:00. After lunch, we will leave for Tezpur by 15:00 in our Tempo Traveler that will pick us up at the airport.
For your return on Sunday, December 27th, please book your flights or trains from Guwahati after 14:00, as we will arrive there from Orang by 11:30
am
.
Also, please ensure that your flight / train bookings allow you ample time to reach the airport (1 hour from the city centre) or railway station (15 minutes from the city centre) as traffic in Guwahati can be bad. Since we'll come in straight from Orang, the group will get dropped off directly at the airport. Group members taking trains can also get dropped at the railway station.
CONFIRMING YOUR PARTICIPATION
Please confirm your participation at the earliest - flight tickets tend to cost more closer to the travel dates. Please confirm your participation by sending us the advance amount. The last date for confirmation is December 12th.
EARTH-FRIENDLY TRAVEL
As you may be aware, carbon emissions are
higher when we fly instead of taking the train. However, we do understand that
flying may be unavoidable
because of the distance & time involved.
To offset at least a part of our emissions,
we'll be
making a contribution from our side
to the Forest First Samithi in Wayanad, Kerala. They're good friends of ours and are doing amazing work in conserving endangered species of local plants.
Every tree planted on the planet helps reduce some of our emissions.
If you are Mumbai based, you could also
join us for a volunteering session at one of the wonderful Green Souls urban farms after the trip, to do some planting & harvesting... :)
However, if you have the time, we always recommend train travel over flying as it helps keep our carbon footprint low. The Saraighat Express, Kamrup Express & Kanchenjunga Express are good trains to take from and to Kolkata.
GROUP SIZE
We're limiting the group size to 12
people (10
participants + 2 JwM trip facilitators for this journey). People are already starting to confirm, so please let us know about your participation at the earliest.
Looking forward to your joining us... :)
