Rainathon
RAIN - not just a cascade from the heavens, but a symphony of life! Who can resist the allure of twirling in the embrace of a downpour? Imagine a day where the world transforms into a canvas of raindrops, and you dance with the elements, wandering 20 to 30 kilometers, without umbrellas or raincoats.
This is the heartbeat of Rainathon! For over 15 years, Rainathon has brought together adventure seekers, nature lovers, and free spirits to celebrate the magic of the monsoon. Every season is filled with exhilarating games, immersive experiences, muddy trails, music, laughter, and moments that stay with you long after the rain fades. Rainathon is more than an event - it is an escape from routine, a celebration of freedom, togetherness, and the childlike joy the rains awaken in all of us. Once you experience the energy, emotion, and unforgettable memories of Rainathon, the monsoon never feels the same again. A celebration for all ages, where joy dances in every drop.

Next Expedition
Flagathon
During the celebration of Independence Day, the tricolors sold on the street are bought home as a sign of being patriotic or at the insistence of the children. But post parade people don’t really bother in keeping the tricolour safely. At times people drop it on roads by mistake. So, we go to the streets pick up the tricolour from footpaths or from the places people have dropped tricolor.
During the first flagathon walk in 2014, more than 650 tricolor flags were found lying roadside. In 2019, 250-300 flags were picked from streets. In 2022, Bharat was celebrating Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav. So, we had expected a lot of tricolours dropped. To our surprise there were not more than 25 tri-colour items found overall. Our intention was never collecting the highest flags. We were glad that there has been increase in National consciousness. People had started preserving the tricolour post celebration.
