So, as you know from my last post, we’ve been living it up at the Hanifl Centre. It’s been quite the adventure! The other day, we decided to go on a little walk around the chakkar, which is this route that feels like it goes on forever. Seriously, it’s like walking into infinity – the…

On top of the mountain…
So these past two days, we have gone on a hike for around four hours to Jabarkhet Nature Reserve, where we climbed to the top of a mountain and had a good photo session with everyone taking lovely pictures. We also made little stops along the way, and Vipul shared interesting facts. After that, we…
This Little Piggy Went to the Market
Yesterday, we took a hike up to Jabarkhet Nature Reserve, and we had our first mini solo which was a moving experience. Sitting in alone with nothing but the sounds of the critters around you and your own thoughts was an influential experience for not only my personal goals, but also for personal reflection and…
Mountain Top to Mussoorie Bazaar Bottom
The past few days have been really tiring but worth it. We started with few leadership games (talked about in the qna below), and then we did the 8 figure walk. 8-figure walk was a 2 mile walk with so much history filled in each step. We learned about how the 8 figure came to…
Views and fun with a side of internal chaos
I am just wrapping up my third official day at the Hanifl Center in Mussoorie, yet it feels like I’ve been here for much longer. We have been enjoying waking up at 5am, meals, walks and hikes, trying to ignore walking by dogs and monkeys, and bonding. Luckily there’s a gym here too so I…
Am I Starting to Like Tea?
The last few days have been absolutely amazing as well as extremely exhausting. Our days start at 7:30am and go until around 6:30pm with a few short breaks in between. The short breaks consist of Chi (Tea) once around 10am and once around 3pm. This is one of my favorite parts of the Indian culture…
for the first time
Hey there! Since the last blog so much has happened; it is crazy to think that the last time we talked was only a short two-three days ago. The first full day we were at the Hanifl Center was a pretty relaxed day basically just meeting all the educators and agreeing on expectations for ourselves,…
Leadership Games in India
I’m a little over 10% of the way into the trip and I’m still having a great time in India! I’ve been learning a lot and continuing to develop as a person, all while being surrounded by some fantastic mentors and friends. Some of the most impactful activities we’ve done over the past few days…
What’s shaking in Mussoorie
Since arriving at the Hanifl Centre, we have spent time getting to know each other by chatting on hikes, living and enjoying meals together, and playing leadership games. We went on a walk to Landour yesterday, which is just a mile from the Hanifl Centre. We saw stores, churches, and a cantonment, which I learned…
