Be it in today’s busy corporate world or large national and international non-profit organizations (NGOs), work pressure and mental fatigue are the same everywhere. Years of monotonous desk work, back-to-back meetings and field work reduce the efficiency of employees. To overcome this mental inertia and instill new energy among team members, there is no alternative to a successful ‘Corporate Offsite’ or team retreat. But is there any place in the heart of India that is at the same time peaceful, located in the lap of nature and where large teams can spend quality time together?
Forget about any of the famous luxury hotels or resorts of Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru or Gujarat and now think about the world’s largest mangrove forest—the Sundarbans. Nowadays, this unique destination has become a unique destination for annual conferences and team outings of big corporate houses, IT sector and renowned NGOs or social organizations in India.
Let’s take a look at why you should choose this region for your next offsite or team retreat, through the eyes of local experts.
1. Digital Detox and Peace of Mind (Detox from Digital)
Away from the pressure of meeting the deadlines of the office or the field projects of the NGO, this mangrove forest’s tranquil environment instantly refreshes the mind. The jungles and rivers and creeks here really cut down on the busy-ness of mobile networks, which is actually a big blessing to modern workers. This ‘digital detox’ of a few days from the world of laptops and emails removes the mental fatigue of employees and helps colleagues to create real communication or bonding among themselves.
2. Perfect for NGO Retreats
The vast delta is not just a tourist destination, it is an entire ecosystem. For NGOs working on environment, climate change or wildlife conservation, there is no better place to hold their Annual General Meeting (AGM) or brainstorming session. Just as the employees of the organization find new ideas by observing this balance of nature up close, their enthusiasm for work increases manifold in the peaceful environment of the primeval forest.
3. Team Building Activities on a Luxury Cruise
When you go to any ordinary resort, the employees spend their time in their rooms, which defeats the main purpose of the offsite. But when the entire team travels together in a large and secure luxury launch within this delta, the level of joy changes.
Project discussions, strategy meetings or ice-breaking sessions can be organized on the deck of a moving launch.
The atmosphere of a sparrow feast on the launch, light chats and group games greatly increase mutual understanding and team spirit among employees.
4. Adventure & Connection with Nature
The experience of combining work and pleasure outside the four walls of an AC conference room and coming into the midst of nature is possible only in this natural sanctuary. The thrill of watching wildlife from the Sajanekhali or Sudhanyakhali watch tower, boat safari through the mangrove creek and the joy of watching the sunset on the calm river give complete relief to the employees from the monotonous life. This exciting experience increases the mentality of taking challenges and leadership quality among the team members.
5. Lip-smacking Local Hospitality
No matter where tourists come from in India, no office or NGO tour is complete without good food and drink. The fresh and delicious food served on the luxury launch safari can rival even the buffets of a five-star hotel. Freshly caught bagda or lobster from the river, pure betki fish, tangy local chicken broth and at the end genuine honey from the region—these divine food and drink memories are remembered by everyone in the team for a lifetime.
6. Flexible for All Budgets
For a successful offsite, it is very important to keep an eye on the company’s or organization’s budget. The big advantage of choosing this destination is that just as budget-friendly group tours are possible here, luxury offsites can also be organized through luxurious eco-resorts and premium cruises. Organizations can choose a customized Sundarban Tour Package as per their team size and budget, which is much more affordable and effective than any other tourist spot in India.
