Wild Roots is a 3-night jungle survival & cultural immersion journey guided by Lepcha elders, local experts, and survival instructors.

->Connecting with Lepcha living, food, and stories.
->Challenging yourself in new ways, with the support of guides & fellow participants.
->Ending with riverside fun, reflection, and a certificate of completion.

You don’t need to be an expert trekker or a survivalist to join us.
 What matters most is your willingness to learn, respect the jungle & culture, and keep an open mind.

If you are ready to step into the forest with curiosity, humility, and teamwork, you will find this experience unforgettable.
