All about the Himalayan Forest Therapy Retreat – Pangot.

The Forest Therapy Retreat is an experience in nature recharging your batteries, finding your inner peace, grounding your self and boosting your immune system and physical, mental and spiritual health with the practice of Shinrin Yoku a Japanese Term for Forest Bathing. The workshops and nature walks will be facilitated by our team of artists, architects and naturalists, where we all will co-create meaningful experiences.

You will stay in gorgeous natural structures built by age-old techniques and made with locally sourced materials, primarily mud. Music, dance, poetry, and movie screenings are for extra fun.

The retreat program is designed to help you awaken your five senses with meditation and breathing, getting naturally mindful, calm, connected, and rejuvenated.

Our main core facilitator, Ramawtar Singh, is a self-taught naturalist and artist, who has spent several years in different forests (including Jim Corbett National Park) and has been practising/teaching various eco-friendly crafts. His love for nature inspired him to design creative activities for children and adults, where they can learn valuable lessons through hands-on experiences.
