OG FireFest
OG FireFest is a 2 night, 3 day community escape into the forests of Jabra and Sharan. The weekend combines a remote mountain stay, jeep rides, the Manshi Top hike, team challenges, bonfires, music, shared meals and enough time around the forest to actually enjoy being away from the city. FireFest is built around people as much as the destination. Games break the awkwardness, the hike brings everyone together, and the evenings create the kind of conversations and inside jokes that usually outlive the trip itself. You come for a weekend in the forest. You leave with a completely different group of people than the strangers you arrived with.
