The Tough Gets Going
(The Ultimate
Corporate Challenge)
Pandavas learnt the
art of war in jungles, Newton thought of gravity
when apple fell on his head, Archimedes initiated
buoyancy in a lake and Edwin Land conceptualized
instant photography while on the beach with his
daughter. History has numerous examples when
creativity, innovation, learning and development
originated while synergizing mental and physical
acts. And on many an occasion, the tougher you push,
both physically and mentally, greater the result.
Military all over the world base the training of the
Special Forces on the concept that ‘Man is capable
of doing much more than what he thinks he can’.
The Kalypso ‘Tough get
Going’ programme is based on the concept that when
teams are pushed to physical and mental limits
through carefully planned adventure activities, they
realise the immense potential that is dormant in
every individual and the gigantic results that can
be delivered by the synchronized strengths of a
team.
The ‘Periyar Odessey’,
‘Summit to Sea’ and ‘The World of Tahrs & Tea’ are
specialized Kalypso programmes designed to radically
transform teams through adventure based activities
which alter Group Dynamics in stressful situations.
The ‘Periyar Odessey’ involves a spectacular seven
day trek through the rain forests and grasslands of
Periyar and beyond through the beautiful spice
growing villages of Kerala, jeep safaris, river
transfers by wooden canoes and lots of wild life
viewing. ‘Summit to Sea’ takes you through
adventurous five days of activities trekking along
some of the highest areas of the Western Ghats, some
vast grass lands and shoals, and rafting down on
river Periyar on bamboo rafts viewing thick forests
on one side and spice plantations on the other side.
‘The World of Tahrs & Tea’ is a hectic five day
programme with treks along areas undisturbed by
human dominance, crossing rivers using indigenous
rafts, climbing the world’s highest tea estate,
moving through serene wilderness and sholas and
viewing endangered wild life and endemic birds. |
