Presents
Journeying on the River Route
An excursion on the Sharavati River
February 3rd to 7th 2015
Honnavar, Uttara Kannada
We at BuDa Folklore are very excited to send out this call to
students of std.XI across schools and colleges for a memorable Study Tour on
the Sharavati River. As part of the River Route Programme, students will be
able to experience:
- A journey across the forgotten route of the Sharavati river, once a busy river route in Portuguese times. An Italian world traveler, Pietro Della Valle took a similar route in the Sharavati on 14th October, 1622 and has left behind a very interesting account of his journey.
- Beautiful views in the heart of Nature as we trek, ride by boat and travel from on end of the Sharavati River to the Arabian Sea
- Historical sites of Gersoppe/Nagre and Haigundi, relatively untouched and unexplored places reminiscent of the long-gone past that give the air of mystery and adventure
- Interaction with and learning from the Tribes of Uttara Kannada, who live in ways that are closely connected to the river. Students can experience and learn local techniques of various arts and occupations
- Five memorable days of fun and deep immersion in the nature and culture of Uttara Kannada, with loving hospitality from everyone you encounter
Join us along
the river on a journey to two historical islands, the tribe of the river
Sharavati, the folk culture, the food, the hospitality, boat-ride, the arts,
crafts, livelihood.
To become a part of
the river - flowing, meandering, swaying in the powerful current..
To see the power, the
calm and the surrender of the river.
Come Be, the
Sharavati River.
