Adventures Mark a New Beginning
As opposed to rudimentary simulative programmes, Natura’s adventure-based experiential learning programmes assure deeper & long-lasting effects of learning. Bearing strong roots in the field, Avishkar’s diploma in
mountaineering (from NOLS, America) and his several adventure pursuits, cemented his desire for being in the outdoors. Drawing from the understanding that an outdoor experience allows one to introspect in a particular way, by creating a space for one to ruminate about, Avishkar states, “The program designs we offer are centered on experiences that are going to make a person wake-up and smell the coffee”. Furthermore, with its pioneering invention – the Natura Adventure Challenge Tower, a modular, easily assembled structure that accommodates 4-8 high impact adventure activities, Natura masters engaging the employees in adrenaline-pumping activities that eventually inspire employee development.
