This weekend, adventure meets gastronomy as Monks Bouffe — an organisation that promotes safe, diverse, and community-driven food practices — invites nature enthusiasts and foodies to immerse themselves in the Sahyadris near Karjat. Titled Forage In The Forest, this walk on Sunday morning will introduce participants to local foods, allowing them to forage wild treasures and experience the enchanting world of the Thakkar tribal community.

Initiated in the monsoon of 2023, the Forage In The Forest walk is the brainchild of Gaurang H Motta and Saurabh Motta, Mazgaon-based brothers with a shared passion for clean, sustainable food and regenerative farming. Having observed the disconnect between consumers and the origins of their food, the duo conceived this initiative to bring people closer to the reality of what they consume.
