DSBA Faculty Outbound to Q Mango Forest-Ramnagara

It was nippy at 8:30 am on 17th Dec’18 when the faculty and staff of DSBA huddled in six cars -of various shapes and sizes- travelled from the college campus to Q Mango Forest Adventure Camp at Hosakere Lakeside Ankanahalli, Ramanagara with Dr [Brig] Sandes; Principal, DSBA and Prof Nikitha Sreekantha; HOD [UG Programs.

They were welcomed at the camp by Mr Antony; Manager, Q Mango Forest Adventure Camp. After a sumptuous breakfast the itinerary chalked out by Coral Marketing Team was conveyed to the enthusiastic academicians.

At 11 am with all trekkers on board, a brief on the trek was provided by Mr Amit-the camp guide. Feeling youthful, energetic all marched towards Ramnagara hills. The beauty of place is unmatched with rocky paths and uneven trekking trails. One savoured the wilderness by exploring the caves, besides the day was blessed with excellent weather conditions.

After trekking for a little more than an hour, the trekkers were back at the camp and offered refreshing lemonade. Rejuvenated, all were ready with life jackets for kayaking in the clean natural lake. This unique experience was truly memorable and one marvelled at the mind-blowing beauty and silence of the lake and the environs.

After devouring the delicious buffet lunch spread, the team from DSBA were raring for the adrenaline fuelled rope activities such as Rappelling down the rock face and Zip Lining. The activities helped the team boost self-confidence, motivation, and morale in a number of ways.

Thoroughly exhausted but pepped up by the refreshments and high tea, the faculty were all set for the rain dance and rocked the dance floor till the wee hours of the evening.

Finally, all returned home bone-tired at 7 pm.

Overall, the team outing was a refreshing event away from the mundane rigmarole that life tends to be.

The blissful surreal experience will be cherished by each one for many years to come!
