Gedi climbing serves as a warm welcome to the enchanting rainy season for rural dwellers and farming societies alike. Despite the muddy landscapes that blanket the villages during this time, Gedi becomes a magical means of transportation, effortlessly whisking you away to any destination. As you traverse the terrain, the rhythmic “rach-rach” sound resonates, infusing the atmosphere with an extra touch of delight. It’s an experience like no other—a blend of tradition, nature, and pure exhilaration.

But have you ever wondered how these marvelous Gedis come to life? Crafted with care and creativity, Gedi is lovingly assembled using resilient bamboo. Two bamboos are carefully positioned at equal distances, forming the foundation. Then, a bamboo piece is skillfully divided into two parts and reunited with a rope, giving birth to two sturdy paws. This assemblage, known as “pauwa,” is affixed atop the nails inserted into the previously cut bamboos. As you glide along the Gedi, the melodic “rach-rach” sound adds an extra layer of enchantment to the entire experience.

This Hareli festival, embrace the spirit of celebration and embark on an extraordinary adventure with Gedi rides. Create cherished memories as you navigate the streets, immersing yourself in the rich cultural tapestry of Hareli. Join us as we honor tradition, embrace joy, and witness the pure magic of Gedi rides, brought to you by the Forest Department. Don’t miss out—let the thrill begin!
