When our co-founders – Shivani Sinha Sola and Shaguna Sinha, were on the Amarnath Yatra, they also visited Gagangir – at the heart of Kashmir. This beautiful little resort – Snowber Resorts – was picturesquely located at the foothills of the serene mountains, and a calm valley beside it. The serenity and the solitude of the Himalayas beckoned them to contemplate and meditate. As they did, the River Devas prompted them to call everyone here, and the Nature Devas joined them too. The Devas wanted them to call other like-minded spiritual seekers and share this abode of Divinity with them!

• Immerse yourself into a deep state of meditation
• Unplug and Surround yourself with like-minded individuals
• Be in solitude to realign your body, soul, and mind.
• Most importantly, it’s a call from the Mountain Devas.
