A Nature Writing Retreat by Mulshi Lake
At Bound’s Nature Writing Retreat, sixteen handpicked writers will spend 3 days exploring the Western Ghats and finding inspiration in the quiet beauty of Mulshi.
Turn your observations and experiences into vivid, engaging narratives with conservation biologist and award-winning author Neha Sinha. Her acclaimed book Wild and Wilful brought India’s iconic species to life, while her forthcoming Wild Capital (HarperCollins, 2026) explores the hidden wildlife of cities. A columnist for leading national dailies and a powerful voice for conservation, Neha’s work celebrates the extraordinary in the everyday, whether birds, rivers, or wasps. Besides, she helps writers see how close attention to the natural world can transform into unforgettable storytelling.
Every aspect of the retreat is carefully designed to help you recharge your social, physical, mental, and creative batteries and to reignite your love for writing.
