The Indian Institute of Planning & Management, Mumbai hosted a Treasure Hunt competition at the IIPM, Mumbai campus at Bandra.

This “Modern Shakespearean Treasure Hunt” witnessed students discovering all the hot and happening places of Bandra in merely 2 hours. The competition began with a celebration of the two big festivals- Diwali & Eid. The campus was decorated with Flowers, Lights and Diyas. To add some color to this event a Rangoli competition was organized to highlight the creative side of the young management students. Students were also given an opportunity to make some money by putting up game stalls to enjoy this festive season. One of the stall was occupied by a talented, young, deaf & dumb tattoo artist who designed tattoos on this special occasion. While the others played games and made tattoos the treasure hunt teams began the hunt as they were given their first clue. After the 2 hour long hunt came to an end, the Soul of Sufism- Mr. Kailash Kher honored the occasion with his presence at the IIPM, Mumbai campus. The crowd hummed to the tunes of ‘Teri Diwani’ & ‘Subhan Allah’ as this legend sang a few lines. He also gave away personalized autographed CD’s along with prizes in cash and gift Vouchers to the winners of Rangoli Competition and the Treasure Hunt. It was truly amazing experience for one and all present in the campus as this day IIPM; Mumbai celebrated the two festivals with games, colors of Rangoli, light of Diya and music of Sufism. The menu at the IIPM canteen added flavor to the festivity by preparations like Chole Bhature, Biryani, Gulab Jamun & Kheer.

India is full of adventures; the Himalayan mountain range alone is world fame for its beauty and Adventure Tours. Nubra and Zanskar valleys in Ladakh, PIN Valley, SPITI, and valley of god in himachal pradesh, tiger hill, DARJEELING are few of them. Apart from himalaya there are so many places in South India to visit as well.

India offers great opportunities for trekking, mountaineering, white water rafting, skiing, hang-gliding, mountain biking, and high altitude motorbike and jeep safaris for adventure enthusiasts.

The Indian Himalaya is a trekker’s paradise. It’s all here, from easy nature walks through pine forests and alpine meadows to tough gradients at high altitudes where sparkling glacial lakes will take your breath away. Pick your choice and enjoy what only the Himalaya can offer.

There is something for everyone. Families can go camping, or stay in hotels that cater for all tastes and budgets.

Hard core adventure seekers can go on expeditions to challenging peaks in the awesome Himalayan ranges. The Indian Himalaya hides exotic places and people. Legendary Ladakh, with its spectacular lunarscape dotted with ancient Buddhist monasteries and breathtaking Nubra and Zanskar valleys. Spiti, a high altitude cold desert valley bordering Tibet and showcasing Buddhist culture. Sikkim, Darjeeling, and Garhwal, each with its own unique Himalayan ambience and experience. All you need to enjoy it is reasonable physical fitness, a budget and the inclination.

For culture vultures, there’s a tantalizing array of historic places and cultures to explore and experience. India is a land of Pilgrimage. There are endless holy places, shrines, stupas, gurudwaras, temple towns and holy rivers. You can visit historic monuments. The Taj Mahal, the Temples of Khajuraho, Varansi, Red Fort, Fatehpur Sikri, Palaces of Rajasthan and much more.

For nature lovers, India offers jungle safaris, desert safaris in Rajasthan, elephant and tiger reserves, snake parks, house-boats on the backwaters of Kerala, tea gardens and coffee plantations.

The Himalaya provides an environment that promotes exploration and physical activity that ensures the healthy development of children and adults, fostering discipline, mental co-ordination, teamwork and physical fitness.
