HaritWorld

HaritWorld's Guideline - the greener option - is simple yet intensely meaningful. It is the realisation of an idea that was born not very long ago over the need to offer something meaningful to Mumbai's urban residents. It is an initiative to give the increasingly getting-cut-off-from-nature urban resident the option to experience the charm and magic of the surviving countryside and the wilderness not far from the city.

HaritWorld is your door to interaction with nature's moods and with a colorful, vibrant yet often overlooked local people. It is the right platform to experience the remnants of a traditional wisdom of arts, culture and agriculture that is otherwise disappearing by the day in our increasingly 'developed' world.

HaritWorld aims to offer the complete experience. Visit our sections to get an idea of the programmes conducted.
