It all started with a question – “What would happen if we put a designer, a filmmaker, a writer, a musician & an entrepreneur in a car and send them to Himalayas?”
….at a creative conference this year In a conversation between..a sound engineer, an art director & an experience designer. Reason enough to take the idea seriously.
RTX & The Plan:
Roadtrip Experience Project is a generative travel experiment for doers, dreamers & influencers to connect, collaborate & indulge in epiphanies flagging off from Delhi on Independence Day!
Over the course of the 9-days, travelers will collaborate on Storytelling sessions, BrainTsunamis, Free-styling, Photo Projects & creating awesomeness.
Our Collaborators include – CampusDiaries, BeingOutThere & Myles from CarzonRent who are backing us with 6 SUVs to self-drive to the trip. Hell Yea!
Here are a couple of Experiences planned for the #roadtrip:
- Orientation Collaboration Meet, Connect & Interact with soon to be friends
- The Art of Starlight Storytelling Campout at Chandrataal Lake with Music Jam
- The Kaza Jam & Barter Fair Spend a day with a Social Enterprise, Spiti Ecosphere & participate in Asia’s only festival that works on barter System
- Monastery Meditation and Reflection Meditate with monks at 11th Century Monastery
