The exposure to the sand and sea and seeing the sunset over the sea was a truly new experience to many specially for those coming from the mountains of Tibet and Leh. The visit to Auroville was another eye opener. Finally, those at the Pavilion of Tibetan Culture at Auroville made us feel proud as a Tibetan.
