VILLAGE TOUR - VANYATRA : A KALEIDOSCOPE TO THE VILLAGES OF INDIA

 

This is a unique journey to experience natural wealth of our villages

 

Spend a Day visiting Villages, Interact with Villagers, see the NGO Projects being done here, try your hand at Farming, visit a local school etc

 

A Perfect way to experience Rural India

 

Palghar is geographically a rich hilly station surrounded by Sahyadri mountain ranges on the east and Arabic Ocean on the west. This place has got a dense vegetation cover of jungles having large variety of trees and birds.

 

         Mainly it is a Tribal area and Kokana, Warali, Hatkari, K Thakur, M Thakur are some of the Adiwasis residing here. Geographical prosperity, rich biodiversity, lifestyle in sync with nature has developed  a unique tribal culture & village system over years.

 

Purpose of the  Vanyatra:

Today, due to rapid urbanization the society has been virtually split into two parts, rural and urban. Due to a difference in lifestyle, availability of resources and access to technology rural & urban people feel disconnected from each other.

 

Urban population somewhere faces the ill effects of  urbanisation such as pollution, busy lifestyle, presence of chemicals in food etc. On the other side,still there are villages that have preserved the lifestyle in alignment with the nature. Vanyatra is an endeavor to provide a platform to Urban citizens to  experience cultural, social and natural wealth of our villages and to spend some time there to know the village lifestyle, food and celebrate festivals
