Chandrakanth Gore
Nature Enthusiast“Rainathon is a unique experience for everyone, including the ones living in villages. It is much more than a simple walk in the rain. Rain, forest, village—none of these concepts are new to me, but when the Rainathon materializes, these little joys manifest as wholesome experiences each season. I never miss attending the Rainathon.”
Amith Nayak
Monsoon Regular"Walking in the pouring rain without any protective gear was something I was hesitant about initially, but it is truly liberating! Rainathon challenges your mental limits and rejuvenates your spirit. The sheer energy of the volunteers and fellow nature-lovers is absolutely contagious."
