  • There is an expedition that happens with the mandala festival. How did this expedition become a part of the festival?
    After the rafting experience in the year 2017, There was an understanding that came in. The whole rafting experience requires a lot of effort from the body, awareness, effort and presence of mind. The boat flows partly with the Ganga and partly with the people navigating it. It needs a lot of physical fitness to do this process for 4 continious days. An Idea was born to set a goal of health and achive it. Ever since, we have started having the yearly expedition as a part of the mandala festival. People are informed one year prior to prepare themselves physically and mentally. The goal of the expedition is to motivate people to stay in good physical and mental health. This year, We have also added treking to it.
