We are currently in the process of establishing basic infrastructure in the hills. Hence, we are restricting visitors at this time. However, if you are interested, we are allowing visits on two designated days per month (whenever possible). You can interact with us and if the climate is desirable take a tour around the campus to witness the ongoing regeneration activities. Please note that the school is not operational at the moment, so we kindly request that you wait until we are fully prepared before visiting for educational purposes. If you plan to visit during the designated days, please contact us in advance to make arrangements.
