1. Madhavpur (Ghed)

Madhavpur is a confluence of culture, history, and nature. You will find everything here. Madhavpur is a picturesque coastal village located in Porbandar district of Gujarat, situated along the Arabian Sea. The cultural significance of Madhavpur is linked to Lord Krishna, who is believed to have married Rukmini here. Every year, the “Madhavpur Fair” is organized, showcasing the cultures of Gujarat and Northeast India.

The beautiful white sandy beaches and the ocean provide a unique spot for meditation and leisurely evening strolls. The annual Madhavpur Fair (March-April) is one of the main fairs in Gujarat. The old ruins, Madhuban Forest, and Osho Ashram are some of the remarkable places to visit here.

2. Mocha Temple

Mocha Temple is located a few kilometers from Madhavpur, in a picturesque rural setting filled with greenery and tranquility. It is a temple dedicated to Lord Hanuman and a beautiful ashram. There is an eternal dhuna (sacred fire pit) here. The caretaker of the ashram is a German lady who is dedicated to this service. People come from distant places with questions, bringing their faith. The ashram is very beautiful.

3. Mokar Sagar Wetland

Mokar Sagar Wetland is a natural lagoon situated between Madhavpur and Porbandar. It is formed by rainwater, river discharge, and tidal inflow, and is proposed as a Ramsar site due to its ecological significance. This area is linked to the traditional lifestyles of local fishermen. It promotes biodiversity conservation and the community’s sustainable use of natural resources.

This place serves as a birdwatching hotspot and is ideal for nature lovers and photographers. It creates stunning vistas during the monsoon and winter seasons.

Our organization does these activities on a no profit no loss basis. Because we are passionate about Gir, Wildlife, its conservation etc.

Now details you need for our upcoming events:

    • CAMPSITES

      Our campsites/resorts/farmhouses are in the peripheral areas of all forests. This is mainly due to avoid discomforts caused by “only” tented accommodations inside the forest and people of all ages can enjoy mother nature and learn something from it. We provide washroom attached rooms on sharing/isolation (depends on availability). The other motto is to avoid disturbances to wildlife, usually caused by the foreign bodies like us. More or less the tents are not comfortable in all seasons. We observe utmost care of all participants at our best.

    • TRANSPORTS
      People join us from different parts of India. So it is not possible for us to provide transportation from a single city. But the buses and trains are available from all parts of other states. We assist to guide you for the same and try to make a group of people from all cities nominate a leader in it to make communication easy. Till date, people have enjoyed it without any hassle or bussel. So feel free if you are not aware of Gujarat or nearby states. It’s our responsibility once you get off the bus. Our men will pick you up and escort you and vise versa.
    • FOODS
      We will provide delicious pure veg foods. From welcome drink to night coffee during campfires. ( breakfast, lunch, dinner , high tea etc ). Our cooks are trained and medicated priorly to avoid any kind of cross infections. Other subtypes of foods like Jain and Swaminarayan foods are also available. We assure the quality of foods. We always try to provide multiple choices in all meals. We always try to add staple food of locals to different cuisines with sweets.
    • KNOWLEDGE SHARING
      We provide power point presentations on local forests, areas, culture, places and integrity between them in an interesting way. We try to visit local places too and give practical information. We also arrange one or two sessions by experts in wildlife, photography, nature etc. We solve the queries from kids to elders and educate them at a depth and try to make them a responsible citizen of Mother Earth, the only shelter left for us. We believe in: “KNOW HER,LOVE HER, PROTECT HER” . Because until one is not aware of something, he or she will surely just enjoy it and destroy it. We try to make you use all special senses to understand mother nature. Watching, Observing, Smelling, Feeling, Sensing and Listening to Mother Earth 🌎 and its variants. At the end of three days we will try to awaken your inner kid with the sixth sense, who is happy in his her life 🧬🙏😂 and transformed. You will be back to your home full of knowledge, memories and new friends ( trees 🌴, birds, animals and landforms etc).

    • AWAKENING YOUR INNER KID
      With the help of old games once played in villages of India…. How is it?!!! We elders are not that much happy 😀😁😊😌 in our lives, do you know why? Because we are no longer KID, we have grown up without any efforts because it’s a natural process and we can’t do anything. But can’t we be a KID again!!!!? If yes, you are on the right platform dude. We have observed that kids don’t have many complaints in their lives. They know only things which make them happy. And in this era mobile is the only handy and destroyer of physical, emotional and mental health. We will make all ages from 1 to 100 to forget everything but the amusement. We have all equipment of old games and madness in addition 😀😁😀☺️😊. Because we believe that “Two subspecies of the living world are happy, Enlightened and Insane ones.”(-our eductor dr.S.Badla) isn’t it?! So join us for a unique experience.
