Please note that trekking is not the same as a picnic

                                                Trekking tests your limits. A picnic pampers your soul.


Trekking
Picnic
  • Purpose: Adventure, endurance, and exploration.
  • Terrain: Mountains, forests, rugged trails, offbeat paths.
  • Duration: Often multiple hours or days.
  • Effort Level: Physically demanding.
  • Gear Needed: Trekking shoes, backpack, water, snacks, first-aid, torch, etc.
  • Experience: Involves walking long distances, climbing, and connecting with nature in raw form.
  • Purpose: Relaxation and leisure.
  • Location: Parks, gardens, lakesides, or any easy-access area.
  • Duration: A few hours, typically a day outing.
  • Effort Level: Minimal physical effort.
  • Gear Needed: Picnic mat, food, games, music, etc.
  • Experience: Relaxed enjoyment with family or friends, often with food and games.

Please Note: Even the easiest level of trekking is still a TREK — not a picnic, park walk, or tour. Just like kickboxing, even at beginner level, demands effort — so does trekking. “Easy grade” doesn’t mean easy for all. It requires strength, endurance, and mental fitness. Be prepared!

Self-Assessment – Are You Fit for an Easy-Grade Trek?

Before signing up for an Easy-Grade trek, please assess your fitness using the following benchmarks:

  • Walking Stamina:
    You should be able to walk 10 continuous rounds of a standard cricket ground (approx. 800 meters per round) without exhaustion.
  • Climbing Ability:
    You should be able to climb 10 floors of a building at a steady pace without taking long breaks.
  • Running Endurance:
    You should be able to jog or run 5 kilometers at a moderate pace without feeling drained.
Important Note on Fitness & Age:
  • Age is not equal to fitness. A fit 5-year-old can summit Maharashtra’s highest peak, while an unfit 25-year-old might struggle on basic trails.
  • Your ability to trek depends on your activity level, strength, and stamina — not your age.
  • Be honest with yourself and prepare accordingly — trekking demands physical readiness, even at the easiest level.
