Why Choose Himalaya Calling
This session invites participants to explore the Himalayan landscape as a dynamic site of learning, where rivers, ecosystems, and cultural traditions converge. Using Gangotri as both a geographical and symbolic source, the session encourages multidisciplinary inquiry—from environmental science to spiritual ecology. Through storytelling, mapping, and experiential learning, participants will trace the journey from origin (srot) to confluence (sangam).
