One year of collective work in Kangundi by the people of Kangundi and Kuppam, and by the sewaks of Mahavatar Babaji TadEkam Foundation (https://tadekam.com/) on bringing homestay based bouldering, climbing and rock-climbing tourism to Kuppam will culminate in Andhra Pradesh’s First ever bouldering/ climbing festival and competition. The Kangundi Bouldering Festival and Climbing Cup will be conducted from 6th to 10 January 2026. The Curtain Raiser for this was held in Kangundi on the site of the Kangundi Rocks Bouldering Gym built by Adtire Adventure (https://www.instagram.com/adtire?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==) for Mahavatar Babaji TadEkam Foundation (https://www.instagram.com/tadekam.foundation?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==) as a gift by Guruji Naushir of TadEkam (the World is One) to the youth of Kangundi.
Hon’ble Member Legislative Assembly of Kuppam and Govt Whip of Andhra Pradesh Assembly Shri Srikanth Garu (https://www.instagram.com/srikanthkancharlatdp?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==) was the chief guest of the curtain Raiser.
