@eshwar_khandre Congratulations to everyone involved. Long pending and much needed!

ಇಂದು ಅರಣ್ಯ ಇಲಾಖೆ ವ್ಯಾಪ್ತಿಗೆ ಒಳಪಡುವ ಚಾರಣ ಪಥಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಚಾರಣಿಗರ ಸುರಕ್ಷತೆಯನ್ನು ಮತ್ತಷ್ಟು ಬಲಪಡಿಸುವ ನಿಟ್ಟಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಪ್ರಮಾಣಿತ ಕಾರ್ಯಾಚರಣೆ ವಿಧಾನ (ಎಸ್.ಓ.ಪಿ.) ಬಿಡುಗಡೆ ಮಾಡಿದ್ದೇವೆ. ಇತ್ತೀಚಿನ ಕೆಲವು ದುರ್ಘಟನೆಗಳನ್ನು ಗಮನದಲ್ಲಿಟ್ಟುಕೊಂಡು, ಯಾವುದೇ ಚಾರಣಿಗರು ಪ್ರಕೃತಿ ಮಾರ್ಗದರ್ಶಕ (ನೇಚರ್ ಗೈಡ್) ಇಲ್ಲದೆ ಚಾರಣಕ್ಕೆ ತೆರಳದಂತೆ ಕಟ್ಟುನಿಟ್ಟಿನ ನಿಯಮ ಜಾರಿಗೊಳಿಸಲಾಗಿದೆ. ಇನ್ನು ಮುಂದೆ ಪ್ರತಿ 10 ಚಾರಣಿಗರಿಗೆ ಒಬ್ಬ ಮಾರ್ಗದರ್ಶಕ ಕಡ್ಡಾಯವಾಗಿದ್ದು, ಒಂದು ಬ್ಯಾಚ್‌ನಲ್ಲಿ ಗರಿಷ್ಠ 150 ಜನರಿಗೆ ಮಾತ್ರ ಅವಕಾಶ ನೀಡಲಾಗುತ್ತದೆ.

ಚಾರಣಕ್ಕೆ ಬರುವವರು ಆನ್‌ಲೈನ್‌ನಲ್ಲಿ ನೋಂದಾಯಿಸಿಕೊಳ್ಳುವುದು ಕಡ್ಡಾಯವಾಗಿದ್ದು, ಪ್ರತಿಯೊಬ್ಬ ಚಾರಣಿಗರ ಮೊಬೈಲ್‌ಗೆ ಟ್ರ್ಯಾಕಿಂಗ್ ಆಪ್ ಅಳವಡಿಸಲಾಗುತ್ತದೆ. ನೇಚರ್ ಗೈಡ್‌ಗಳಿಗೆ ಜಿಪಿಎಸ್ ಹೊಂದಿದ ವಾಕಿ-ಟಾಕಿ ನೀಡಲಾಗುವುದು. ದಾರಿ ತಪ್ಪಿದರೆ ತಕ್ಷಣ ಪತ್ತೆಹಚ್ಚಲು ಈ ವ್ಯವಸ್ಥೆ ಸಹಕಾರಿಯಾಗಲಿದೆ. ಬೇಸ್ ಕ್ಯಾಂಪ್‌ನಲ್ಲಿ ಚಾರಣದ ಪೂರ್ವಭಾವಿ ಮಾಹಿತಿ, ಸುರಕ್ಷತಾ ಮಾರ್ಗಸೂಚಿಗಳು ನೀಡಲಾಗುತ್ತದೆ. ಶಬ್ದಕಾರಿ ಸಾಧನಗಳು, ಆಯುಧಗಳು, ಕ್ಯಾಂಪ್ ಫೈರ್ ಹಾಗೂ ಪ್ಲಾಸ್ಟಿಕ್ ಬಳಕೆ ಸಂಪೂರ್ಣ ನಿಷೇಧಿಸಲಾಗಿದೆ.

ಚಾರಣದ ಅವಧಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಗೈಡ್‌ಗಳು ಚಾರಣಿಗರ ಸಂಪೂರ್ಣ ಜವಾಬ್ದಾರಿ ಹೊತ್ತುಕೊಳ್ಳಬೇಕು. ಪ್ರತಿ ಅರ್ಧ ಗಂಟೆಗೆ ಬೇಸ್ ಕ್ಯಾಂಪ್ ಜೊತೆ ಸಂಪರ್ಕದಲ್ಲಿರಬೇಕು ಮತ್ತು ಚಾರಣಿಗರ ಸಂಖ್ಯೆಯನ್ನು ಪರಿಶೀಲಿಸಬೇಕು. ಅಪ್ರಾಪ್ತ ವಯಸ್ಕರಿಗೆ ಪೋಷಕರ ಅನುಮತಿ ಪತ್ರ ಹಾಗೂ ಹಿರಿಯ ನಾಗರಿಕರಿಗೆ ದೈಹಿಕ ಸಾಮರ್ಥ್ಯ ಪ್ರಮಾಣಪತ್ರ ಕಡ್ಡಾಯವಾಗಿದೆ. ಪ್ರಥಮ ಚಿಕಿತ್ಸಾ ಕಿಟ್‌ಗಳನ್ನು ಕಡ್ಡಾಯವಾಗಿ ಹೊಂದಿರಬೇಕು.

ಅರಣ್ಯ ವಿಹಾರ ತಾಣಗಳ ಎಲ್ಲಾ ಚಾರಣ ಪಥಗಳನ್ನು ಶೀಘ್ರದಲ್ಲೇ https://t.co/PcOR4faHo9 ಪೋರ್ಟಲ್‌ನಲ್ಲಿ ಸೇರಿಸಿ ಮುಂಗಡ ಬುಕ್ಕಿಂಗ್ ವ್ಯವಸ್ಥೆ ಕಲ್ಪಿಸಲಾಗುತ್ತದೆ.

ಚಾರಣಿಗರ ಸುರಕ್ಷತೆ, ಪ್ರಕೃತಿ ಸಂರಕ್ಷಣೆ ಮತ್ತು ಜವಾಬ್ದಾರಿಯುತ ಪ್ರವಾಸೋದ್ಯಮವನ್ನು ಉತ್ತೇಜಿಸುವುದು ನಮ್ಮ ಸರ್ಕಾರದ ಆದ್ಯತೆ. ಈ ದಿಕ್ಕಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಶ್ರಮಿಸಿದ ಅರಣ್ಯ ಇಲಾಖೆಯ ಎಲ್ಲಾ ಅಧಿಕಾರಿಗಳಿಗೆ ಅಭಿನಂದನೆಗಳು.

Announcing our Government-recognised flagship 750-hour Certified Naturalist Course.

Tourism and Hospitality is growing at a large scale in our country. Skilled Naturalists are the need of the hour for many ecotourism destinations and luxury resorts.

[NGMA Bengaluru @NGMABengaluru]

Roots hold memory and leaves speak softly of clock ticking here. Time slows down, intensified, and the act of looking becomes a way of belonging. We walk, not to arrive, but to notice. We are here with this guided Nature Immersive Experience, a walk that encourages attentive observation, quiet listening, and renewed connection with the living landscape of the museum grounds. Join us at NGMA-B for this nature walk that explores trees, big and tiny habitats, and the subtle rhythms of the environment, to observe and appreciate a moment of pause within the city.

10 January 2026, Saturday | 11:00 AM – 12:30 PM

An individual’s inner call to being one with nature comes from within, seldom expecting a medium to accompany. What if it brings more impact when joined hands with art? In the quiet companionship of art and nature, we are here with the full schedule for Anubandha: Celebrate Art in Nature at NGMA Bengaluru.

From meditative clay sessions and photography walks to talks, performances, and kids’ activities, the festival brings together a beautiful week of learning, reflection, and connection.

Registrations are now open - with limited seats! Secure your spot and join us at NGMA Bengaluru.

A Festival of Many Worlds, Many Ways of Seeing

The Nature Festival unfolds across a vibrant mix of formats, each one opening a different doorway into the wonder of the natural world. Wander through gallery walks where art and ecology meet, join hands-on workshops in art, design, movement, and nature-based creativity, or stop by our Pop-Up DIY Nature Corners where curiosity leads the way! Sit with our naturalist team for quick, hands-on DIY activities from making tiny field notebooks and leaf-rubbings to sketching, crafting, tracking textures, or building small nature-inspired artefacts. No experience needed; just wander in, play, and discover what your hands can learn from the wild.

Settle in for docu-dialogues and natural history learning sessions that bring scientific curiosity and lived experience together. Explore wildlife film screenings that transport you into remote habitats, or experience the raw energy of live performances inspired by landscapes, species, and ecological moods, use your hands and body to explore various art forms to engage with Nature and don't forget to have a keen eye out for capturing photographs both within yourself and outside. Don’t miss the photo exhibitions—windows into the many ways people see, feel, and connect with nature.

Across formats, disciplines, and moods, the festival celebrates one simple, powerful idea: there are countless ways to know nature and every one of them matters.

• Come, Celebrate between the 12th and 21st of December
• 11-7 PM this deep bond between nature, self and art

Writing this piece for Bangalore Times began in childhood, because truly, Cubbon Park raised many of us. School picnics that lasted all day, horses that moved slowly but made us feel invincible.
