Claudia Poojari - Famous Bollywood Actress on our trip. |
Today we had a pretty early start. We woke up at 5:30, before the sunrise, in order to go hiking to the Wagdevi temple (a hidden temple inside a cave in the Chinchoti Mountains). After the 40 minute hike, we spent about half an hour inside doing yoga and meditating. Then we came back just in time for a quick breakfast before returning to the work site. Later on, some of us went to buy clothes in a nearby village while others decided to stay back and relax with our families and new friends.
After a final WLS meeting, we ventured out to the mountains for a final get together with all our new friends from the village. We danced, played games and ate food cooked by the fireside. It was a great bonding experience that we all thoroughly enjoyed and will never forget! After a rickshaw ride back to the village, we returned to our houses for a final dinner. All in all it was a long, but great way to spend our final, full day in the village. We'll definitely miss our home stay families, village and time together in India!
