Sharad Poornima is considered an auspicious day for nature connection and meditation, as the full moon is believed to offer healing energies. To celebrate, DivingDeep is hosting a 5 km night walk cum hike in the nearby wilderness, featuring easy to moderately challenging trails.

No special preparation is needed; just follow our guidance and connect with nature. Before the hike, our team will provide an orientation on outdoor safety and wildlife. The agenda is that we all enjoy the beauty of the night sky, wild air, nocturnal sounds and probably some fireflies.

After the hike, we’ll engage in contemplation exercises, savor a 'Dudh-poha' feast, and hold a sharing circle.

Join us to meditate and celebrate the serenity of this special day!

• Anybody fit between 14 and 71 years can join for this hike.
