The Retreat's Ground
We will soon introduce a football tournament yearly. The retreat’s football ground will either be a five or a seven sided. What makes the retreat’s ground special is that it has a swimming pool and an on-site restaurant at an arm’s distance. It surely will be a perfect retreat during summers. Please do join us on this new venture. The Mandarine Chalum festival (an organic retreat) Besides football tournament and other recreational activities we will as a team too organize an organic festival every year. Celebrating the fruiting of our local Mandarine oranges the festival will be held in the month of January. The festival will also for our brothers and sisters create an opportunity to showcase and sell their goods/products. Three stalls as we had promised during Gram Sabha held on 02/10/2022 will be free for SHG (Self help group) from Lum Gor Sangtok GPU during the festival. For musical events we will invite new upcoming artists every evening during the festival period. The ground will be available for bookings too for entrepreneurs who are interested in organizing events.
