Adventure and Jungle in Meghalaya

Adventure and Jungle in Meghalaya

Into the living bridges and cloud forests of the Khasi Hills

13 Days, 12 Nights
October to April (dry season, best trail conditions)
Max 12

The Story

Descend 3,000 stone steps into mist-filled valleys to walk across bridges grown from living tree roots, explore the world's longest sandstone caves, and immerse yourself in the matrilineal Khasi culture of Meghalaya, the wettest place on Earth.

Urban live disconnects us from Mother Nature... In Meghalaya, the wilderness is omnipresent and omnipotent. There is no better place to learn how to survive in the wild with no equipment. During this course you'll learn the four basic elements of survival: Fire, Shelter, Water and Food. Our Instructor, Robin, has a wide knowledge base with the experience to back it up, as well as passion for sharing his skillset. Depending on the length of the course you choose will determine how much we practice each element.
