If your soul’s been craving stillness, serenity, and a true digital detox, we’ve found your perfect weekend escape: Forest Bathing Walks in the lush landscapes of Coorg. This isn’t a hike. It’s not a trek. It’s an experience—a quiet conversation with nature, minus the noise.
🍃 What is Forest Bathing?
Also known as Shinrin-yoku (a Japanese wellness practice), forest bathing is the art of mindfully immersing yourself in the atmosphere of the forest—through all your senses. It’s about slowing down, tuning in, and letting nature heal you.
This weekend, step away from the screen, and step into the misty woods of Coorg, where dewdrops sparkle like gems and the earth hums beneath your feet.
🌲 Why Coorg?
- Dense forests with a calming canopy of teak, sandalwood, and silver oak
- Refreshing altitude and cool breeze year-round
- Known for its silence, chirping birds, and the rhythmic rustle of leaves
- Ideal for quiet reflection and slow, mindful walking
🌿 What to Expect
Forest Bathing Walks are slow and intentional. Here’s what your 2–3 hour experience might look like:
- Grounding Session: Begin with breathwork and intention setting led by a certified forest therapy guide.
- Sensory Exploration: Touch the bark, inhale the petrichor, listen to the rustling branches, and watch the light play through the leaves.
- Silent Walking: A slow stroll through shaded trails, no phones, no conversations—just presence.
- Nature Connection Exercises: Lie under a tree, write in your nature journal, or try barefoot grounding.
- Closing Circle: Reflect, sip herbal tea, and share (only if you wish).
