Native Place is the brain-child of Astrid and Sanjay Rao.
We have been running Nirvana Adventures- a paragliding and adventure Sports Company based in Kamshet since ‘98.

Together we aim to promote cultural and environment related adventure holidays in this area largely untouched by the commercial tourism machine, in a manner which is respectful of local traditions and customs.
