Walk Together • Explore Together • Grow Together
Greetings from the Gowda Saraswath Sabha (UK)!
Summer is here, bringing with it longer days, beautiful weather and the perfect opportunity to step outdoors, reconnect with nature and spend quality time with family and friends.
We are delighted to invite you to GSS AAROHAN 2026, our annual community walking event that celebrates fitness, friendship and togetherness. Whether you are a seasoned hiker, a casual walker, or simply looking for a fun day out with fellow GSB members, there is a walk for everyone!
This year, we are excited to host two events – one in North England and one in South England – making it easier for more members across the UK to participate. You are welcome to join either or both walks.
With routes suitable for different age groups and fitness levels, we encourage everyone to start preparing with regular walks and exercise over the coming weeks. Remember, Aarohan is not about speed or competition—it is about enjoying the journey together and creating lasting memories.
