Art of Survival Mar 2026

Welcome to The Walkers XP Experience - The Art of Survival, A Wilderness survival camp.

📍 Yahnai Kaduh, Perumalmalai | Kodaikanal

🗓 12-14 September, 2026

🎒 Earn 400 XP

This is not a vacation. This is a short wilderness retreat where you unplug, get your hands dirty, and learn how survival really works in raw nature.

You’ll cut trees & vines to build your own shelter, learn to make fire like stone-age humans, take natural river baths, understand ropes & knots (basic mountaineering), live in natural mud houses, and eat freshly sourced forest food.

By the end of the camp, you won’t just leave with memories — you leave with skills, stories, and 400 XP (Experience Points)
