Hey all..
I hope everyone is ready and all set for this weekend…

Trek Tough
Endurance Very High

Here’s some information that would furthermore help you with the preparations for the event.

The Trek is a *Tough* graded Trek and one needs to be prepared well for the same.

It’s all muddy on day 1.
The mud would be slippery at places; one has to cross through the waters, jump through as well.

Everyone will need *good shoes* to tackle the slippery patches.
*Good trekking bags,* nothing should be hanging outside your bag.
*Sleeping bag or proper bedding, a pair of clothes, torch* all these accessories are *compulsory.*

Let’s get into more details..
What all is expected from you..

*1. Good trekking shoes..*
high ankle shoes.. With a twistable sole are best for such rocky treks.
Woodlands and Quechua arpenaz tough sole shoes… *will be sent back.. With the participant.*
These are the worst shoes for any Trek in Maharashtra (or Sahyadris).

Sleeping bag should be inside your trekking bag. Hanging it outside your bag or carrying it in your hand won’t be allowed.
