Complementing the adrenaline-pumping adventures are daily cultural programs that celebrate Gujarat’s rich heritage. For 45 days, an open-air cultural zone will come alive with folk music, tribal dances, devotional evenings, and interactive performances, offering guests an immersive cultural journey.

Luxury meets nature: Accommodation and amenities

To ensure comfort amidst the wilderness, the festival offers 21 premium tents in various categories, including Darbari (heritage-style), premium, deluxe, and dormitory-style options. These air-cooled tents provide everything from regal experiences to budget-friendly dormitories for groups, students, and volunteers.

Additionally, a central dining facility serves a curated buffet of Gujarati and regional cuisines in a culturally themed dining hall with ample seating.
