Sundarvan – CEE’SCall of the MOUNTAINS

Introduction

Mt.Abu, with its

unique location in the Arravallis

has attracted Rishis, Nature lovers

and mountaineers for centuries.

The tallest point between the

Himalaya and the Sahyadris,

Mt.Abu has a lot to offer to the

visitors. Unhappily, Mt.Abu is

visited mainly as a tourist spot;

the spiritual uplifting ambiance of

Arbudachal is largely overlooked. We are inviting you to be a part of this rare opportunity to

explore the remnants of Abu’s beautiful yet very challenging wilderness.

The ProgrammeThis programme is

conceived and carved out by

highly experienced people in

the field of nature education,

mountaineering and adventure.

Hopefully schools will

incorporate this programme into

the calendars and so make it an

integral part of their summer

holidays activities.

Activities

The activities will be a unique

combination of nature education and

adventure moulded in a format so

conducive to learning through

experience. Nature trails, Bird

watching, Basic Rock Climbing

techniques, River Crossing and

abseiling; zipline, recognising the

constellations and observing their

motion; and stimulating discussions

followed by talks and nature quiz

will form an integral part of this

memorable outdoor experience.

We will try to introduce the

participants to an environment as was

experienced by our remote ancestors so

that they will understand much of the

fears that have moulded our attitudes

towards Nature.

The Camp Site

An absolutely wild

and enchanting campsite –

“ABU WILD” on Gaumukh

Road, located at about

2.5kms, from the main city

awaits the participants. So

close and still so far from

the hustle and bustle of the

crowded city, this is a

paradise with calls of wild

creatures and great tranquillity that will make you realise why Arbudachal was so important

on the pilgrim circuit.

Facilities and SafetyWell – pitched spacious tents will provide accommodation to the participants. Good

and nutritious vegetarian food will be served to the participants. There will be a first aid kit

at the campsite. A vehicle will be kept as a stand by for any emergency. Separate pucca

toilets and bathrooms are available for both boys and girls.
