Natura creates unique outdoor experiences to introduce urban individuals to the pleasures of nature. It offers various adventure training programs using the outdoors, including management development, leadership training, and youth development. Programs include activities like rock climbing, rappelling, a challenge tower, and simulations. Natura aims to provide insights through experiential learning outside participants' normal environment. It coordinates offsite trips and portable camping to facilitate adventure-based conferences and team building in remote natural locations.

2. Created to bring the world of adventure and wilderness closer to the common person,
Natura creates unique experiences to introduce the urbane individual to the pleasures and
insights inherent in the great outdoors.
As an organisation, Natura represents the sum total of the experience, expertise,
knowledge and passion of a prodigious few from the fields of Adventure Sports, Experiential
Learning, Offbeat Travel & Ecology. Each of them have been decade-old professionals in their
industry and have together lent Natura a reputation and client relationships that pre-date its
existence by several years.

3. Natura Training Solutions
Figuratively speaking, our methodology relies on getting a
participant to step ‘Outside’ – out of their homes and offices and their
accustomed environment – into challenging situations that offer
participants amazing insights into themselves, their behaviour, their
emotions, their unique learning styles and their strengths and weaknesses
– thus, in truth, taking them deep ‘Inside’.
Utilising powerful empirical development tools from
Psychology, along with the unique challenges offered by the
Outdoors and Adventure, our programs leave the individual with a
greater understanding of his or her unique ‘paths’ to success in
essential facets of their lives like communication, environmental- and
peer-group interaction, learning styles and decision-making.

4. Natura Training Solutions
The Natura Training Solutions uses the wilderness and adventure as tools alongside the principals of
Experiential Learning to create the following unique learning & development models:
Natura CorpEd: HRD-led Management Development,
Behavioural Training, Leadership Development and remedial or
redirectional workshops for corporate bodies.
Natura Beanstalk: Outdoor Education, Personal Development
and intensive outdoor skill enhancement programs for children and
youth.

Destination or even an Adventure-themed Park.
