Great RECAP Post @NERKARAMIT

It was fantastic to see such a big turnout from Local Guides across Maharashtra, both in person at Lal Mahal, Pune, and virtually. I’ve never been to Lal Mahal myself, but it looks amazing - I’ll definitely have to add it to my list for my next trip to Pune. It was also great to see so many new faces among the Local Guides. The recap post is superb, capturing all the highlights perfectly. Kudos to the host and all the participants for making this gala event such a success.
