This festival, held over 4 days in December, merges ecology, food, local culture and conservation in the Nilgiris region.
Events include forest immersion walks, native plant nurseries, talks on restoration ecology, local-food tastings and cultural-heritage sessions.
It’s ideal for nature lovers, eco-tourists and those who want to engage with sustainable-tourism and environment themes.
Because it takes place in the cooler months, comfortable warm clothing, pre-booking and checking schedule are advised.
It offers a different flavour of festival — less overtly commercial, more experiential and community-linked.
