Happy New Year!!

Dear Friends,

TAG INDIA and its members wish you and your family a very happy 2010 :-)
We thank all the members who joined us for the many adventurous & memorable trips in 2009 and we hope to do more of such trips in 2010.

2009 was very exciting indeed with many adventure trips that took us to the southern most part of India (Kerala) and to the remotest borders of North India (Himalayas)! We learnt some new skills with our scuba diving & snorkeling trip, white water rafting events, rock climbing and river crossing camps! We visited some exotic places like the Mullaingiri caves, Himalayan glaciers, magnetic hill, ipod death zone, Dubare elephant camp, Kalvarbetta clouds and many more. We had great fun organizing leadership building events, team outbounds, kids camp and survival camps. To sum it up, 2009 was indeed a very memorable year and it went really fast! We are now at the doorstep of 2010 and we certainly hope that it will be a fun year too.

So here is a wish to you from all of us!

May the new year bring you lots of new adventures, excitement and fond memories
May we spend more time with nature in conservation and restoration activities and revitalize the planet with our efforts
May we discover new places, make new friends and make planet earth a friendlier place

See you in 2010!
Best Wishes
TAG INDIA TEAM
