A Natural Holi in a Forest in Mumbai🌿
This Holi, step into the green lungs of Mumbai’s Aarey Forest for the most colourful cultural experience in the city. Celebrate the festival of colours in its purest, most natural form - come in solo, with a group of friends or drag your family along to make natural colours, cook in the outdoors and immersive yourself in the forest.
From picking ingredients and learning to cook on a choolha (traditional stove), picking flowers from the forest to make natural Holi colours to indulging in an authentic local meal of fresh food cooked by the Warli tribal community. This experience is about slowing down, soaking in, and celebrating Holi (after years of running away from it because of synthetic colours) with your whole heart, and a group of strangers turned friends.
