Adventure & Spirituality Sojourn with Art of Living teen!

Perhaps one of the most energy intensive tour that i was fortunate to escort was a bunch of 30 extremely lively, boisterous, vibrant & diverse teenagers of the Art of Living Foundation, UAE! Accompanied by 3 AoL teachers, led by the ever smiling & softly encouraging Rugmani Rao, the perky Shreya & the 'ever at peace with himself' Rashmin, who were to impart spiritual insights of living & life, breathing techniques (sudarshan kriya) etc, it was uopn me to conduct adventure activities over 10 days in the pristine North Indian State of Himachal Pradesh.
The group converged in Delhi from where we left by train to Chandigarh and then in a convoy of 7 SUV's drove to stay in fantastic locales, with great views to match. Shogi, Thanedar, Sarahan & Shoja ( the beautiful Sangla Campsite had to be dropped due to a massive landslide cutting off all connectivity with the valley) were to be our destinations over the days that sped past. A beautiful blend of 'inner journey & outer exploration', a Spiritual Sojourn, as termed by AoL, was to unfurl over the days following.
Adventure activities undertaken? Trekking, River Crossing, Flying Fox, Burma Bridge, Waterfall Rapelling, Canyoning...and i must admit that most teens excelled at them all. What a unique way to spend a vacation! Adventure & Spirituality. Tip: Avoid Himachal Pradesh in monsoon months! Just too many flash landslides.
