Mic on the Mountains — a poetic mountain retreat by MicTale

A 3-DAY MOUNTAIN RETREAT PROGRAMME

9 to 11 October, Mussoorie

Come for the mountains.
Stay for the stories.

A slow weekend away from the noise. A place to meet strangers, hear stories, perform, listen, and simply exist for a while, somewhere the air is thinner and the conversations run longer.

Three days, one story

A rough shape for the weekend, postcards from a trip you haven't taken yet.

Day 19 Oct

Arrival, and the first circle

Make your way up to goSTOPS Mussoorie. Unpack, breathe the thinner air, and meet the strangers you will be sharing a mountain with. We close the day with a slow welcome circle as the valley goes dark.

Day 210 Oct

Open Mic, then Baithak

Daylight is for the mic. Bring your poem, your song, the story you have been carrying around too long. After dark the bonfire takes over: warm conversations, music, and a night that doesn't really ask to end.

Day 311 Oct

The walk to Cloud's End

We leave the noise behind for good and trek out to Cloud's End. The walk becomes part of the retreat itself; a quiet, shared way to close a weekend that started with strangers and ends with a story.

Peek into the Deep

A closer look at how our hours unfold in the mountains.

Day 1

Arrival & The First Connection

10:00 AM

Arrive at Basecamp

Drop your bags at goSTOPS, freshen up, and breathe in the thinner air.

11:30 AM

Welcome Circle

No corporate speeches. Just our Retreat Kits, warm introductions, and the only rule: everyone participates.

2:30 PM

The Landour Walk

A slow 'walk & talk' through Char Dukan and Sisters Bazaar. New partners every 15 minutes to break the ice.

8:00 PM

The First Baithak

Dim lights. No stage. Just unfiltered conversations, stories, and midnight chai to close the night.

Day 2

The Big MicTale Day

10:00 AM

Create Something

A dedicated hour to write the mountain. Bring your journals, write a poem, or build a collaborative story with strangers.

3:00 PM

Prep the Stage

We build the main event together. Everyone gets a micro-role: photographer, stagehand, or audience hype.

6:00 PM

Mountain Open Mic

The centerpiece. First-time performers, travellers, and MicTale artists taking the mic as the valley goes dark.

9:30 PM

Bonfire & Letters

Acoustic guitars, deep conversations around the fire, and writing a secret letter to your future self.

Day 3

The Mountain Day

8:00 AM

Drive to Cloud's End

Leaving the noise behind. A short group transit to the forested western edge of Mussoorie.

9:00 AM

Silent Walk & Frames

No phones. No talking. Just a 20-minute silent walk, followed by a team photography challenge.

4:30 PM

Final Gathering

Back at goSTOPS. We open our notebooks and share three things we are taking home from the weekend.

6:00 PM

The Goodbye

No formal thank-you speeches. We capture individual portraits, sing one last song, and close the circle.

Your home in the hills

Know your staying
experience.

For three days, goSTOPS Mussoorie becomes more than just a place to sleep. It is where we meet, eat, talk, make things, stay up late and let the mountain slow us down.

goSTOPS Mussoorie stay

While we are at goSTOPS

The property becomes
part of the retreat.

We are not coming to Mussoorie just to check into a room and leave. During the retreat, the goSTOPS property will be our little basecamp, the place where the weekend actually unfolds.

01

Open Mic

A dedicated evening where poems, music, stories and voices take over the property.

02

Bonfire Baithak

A slower night around the fire; conversations, music and the kind of stories that happen naturally.

03

Creator Circle

Meet fellow artists, creators and curious people and actually spend time with them.

04

Slow Mornings

Breakfast, conversations and enough breathing room before we head into the day's plans.

Come with a backpack. Leave with a few more people in your story.
