This Weekend, Unwind At A 2-Day Sustainable Music Festival In The Hills

Kavya Venkatraman

In the tranquil hills of Tala, Nariyal Paani and Gently Altered are bringing to you Mysa — a unique curated festival that allows you to relax and unwind. Held in the luxury resort Forest Hills, the boutique destination festival is a celebration of music and nature and aims to disconnect you from the mundane and instead channel you towards the boundless beauty of our environment.

The festival has music events featuring both international and local artists such as Matteo and Don Bhatt + Passenger Revelator and will cover a wide genre from electro-pop to Indian classical fusion across different stages. The festival includes 24-hours of non-stop performances. Along with events that will thrill any music-enthusiast, their other activities include old-fashioned outdoor Indian games, community art therapy, adventure sports, as well as rejuvenating massages. If you needed any more reasons to attend, the festival is also pet friendly!

They provide one of a kind accommodation such as nature-inspired Cottages, container homes, barn cabins and tree houses designed by some of the best artists in India. The festival also includes interesting culinary experiences such as a bonfire barbecue, with all the food being organic and locally sourced to empower the regional community. The event has a strict no-plastic policy, and guests are encouraged to bring water bottles that can be refilled at the many stations provided at the venue. To further their green initiative, they’ve arranged for community travel experiences through shuttle party buses from Mumbai and Pune.

Mysa will be held on the 17th and 18th of November. For more information, see here and to book passes, click here.
