WHAT IS SAFARNAMA??
Safarnama literally translates to ‘Travel diaries’. It is a three-day travellers’ festival held in a quiet village at the foothills of the Sahyadris, curated with love by Silk Road Journeys. It is a space where you can be free, leave your stress and worries behind, and soak in the bliss of nature while forming meaningful connections with your fellow travelers. It has been started with a noble intent to create a platform for the local artists, artisans, and musicians; employment opportunities for the villagers, and to celebrate this very gift called - “life”.
Why should I attend Safarnama?
Because it is not like any other trip you have been to! It’s an unforgettable experience filled with immersive forums, meaningful workshops, barefoot nature walks, liberating sharing sessions, yoga and meditation, folk art, musical jamming, open mics, magical sunsets and the experience of living in tranquil nature.
All the activities are intertwined and flow into each other to create a holistic experience that is not limited to just “fun and chill”.
