Rules and regulations.

Do understand that we do not arrange picnics. It follows that if one seeks luxury and absolute comfort then we can hardly help them. ;)

Sa-hi Trekkers believe in being one with nature and that is possible only when we shed all city slicker attitudes. Of course by that we do not suggest that one should be ready for any kind of nonsense.

Utmost care is taken to ensure safety of the group and care is taken that no one is inconvenienced because of factors within our control.

We do expect our Sa-hi friends to understand group dynamics and leave at home their individuality. They should be prepared to share and care. That makes and all the physical and mental exhaustion forgettable and the trek itself become unforgettable! Trust us on this.

Now some basic codes:

Respect nature.

1) No littering! Carry your own trash. If you are found littering then we will request you to pick it up. Friends, it is really not nice to throw garbage around and it only reflects upon us. Will we do this to our own houses?

REDUCE, REUSE, AND RECYCLE!

2) Do not disturb the flora and fauna. No making pretty bouquets of grabbed flowers and blooms. No feeding and intimidating birds and other animals. Think how you would feel if someone barges into your house and threatens you. The jungle is THEIR home. So, Capital N O= NO!

3) Remember, the mountain has own mind. Beware and do not make the mistake of taking him for granted. It sounds weird but it’s true. Never take nature as granted.

For your own safety

1) The organizers and you yourself are equally responsible for your safety. We cannot take the blame for injuries or inconveniences arising out of actions outside the organizers instructions and acts of nature.

2) One must understand that the group leader is responsible for the entire group and may have to take some tough decisions at times. If one expects a memorable experience with us then we expect full cooperation and discipline. To sum up, the leader’s decision will be final and binding on all Sahi Trekkers.

3) Finally, the non arguable part. Smoking and other forms of tobacco use and alcohol consumption is strictly prohibited.

Safety measure is to be followed on strict basis,anybody not following will be discarded on the spot.

Nature had designed this valley (3,658 m. to 3962 m) for the dedicated outdoors person. Nearly 10 km long and almost 2 kms wide, the valley is ringed with snow-capped mountains and watered by streams rising in the mountains. It is accessible from late April, but grandest from late July to the end of August. Literally hundreds of wild flowers bloom in this valley including the rare Himalayan Blue Poppy . A naturalist’s delight,the valley is reputed to be the largest repository of the wild flowers in the natural surroundings in the world over 300 species have been identified.

Flowers mostly orchids, poppies, primulas, calendulas, daisies and anemones carpet the ground. Alpine forests of birch and rhododendron cover a part of the area, and are home to tahr, snow leopard, musk deer, red fox, common langur, bharal, serow, Himalayan black bear and a huge variety of butterflies.

Breakfree Journeys goes trekking to Kaldurg - 15th February!

February 12, 2014, 12:37 am

≫ Next: EXPLORE THE NEW OFF-BEAT: SANGLA VALLEY on 22nd April- 1st May with MUMBAI TRAVELLERS

≪ Previous: Yatri Sahyadri - 1200 feet Water Fall Rappelling At Malshej.

Kaldurg. A fort lost in time. Hardly anything of this hill fort remains but it stands tall, infact it is the tallest of the region, overlooking the ever changing landscape of Palghar region. The Bombay Gazetteer mentions it as the chief peak of the region with some fortifications and a few reservoirs. It also mentions Takmak and Tandulwadi in the same range, both of which we managed to climb last year. Now it is time for Kaldurg.

The view from its tallest point, at 1650 feet is breathtaking and makes the two hour climb worthwhile. The hike culminates at the base village but the day isn't over for us, we plan to go to a scenic lake nearby and spend our evening by a bonfire, sipping some freshly brewed coffee - watching the sun set and the full moon rise.

Here's the plan.

The Breakfree Bus will leave from Borivali(McDonald's) at 500 AM and proceed on the Western Express Highway passing through Goregaon-Andheri-Bandra(Kalanagar), further it will take the Sion-Eastern Express Highway - Mulund - Thane - Ghodbunder - NH8

We will be very happy to pick you up from any point on the given route.

Cost: Rs. 1100 inclusive of Breakfast, Lunch, Transport and whole lotta fun!

A maximum of 19 participants will be allowed on the trek.

We normally do not accept advance payments and rely on your oral/written confirmation to block seats. Therefore it is advisable that you consult your prior commitments before confirming a seat rather than cancelling/backing out at the last moment much to inconvenience of everybody.

Kindly note:

1. We recommend Action Trekking Shoes; running/gym shoes normally give away to the tough terrain and become useless.

2. Carry at least 2 litres of water with you along with some dry snacks, fruits and a pair of change.

3. Consumption of Alcohol, Narcotic substances and cigarettes is prohibited and may lead to possible expulsion from the trek, and an early expulsion from Natural Habitat.

4. Hats/Caps are recommended.

To confirm, do call us up on 09820023362, FB RSVPs won't be considered as confirmations.

Everest Base Camp Trek is arguably the most famous trekking route in the world and provides you with opportunities to take in some truly amazing views from the roof of the world.

Iternary:
Day 1: Arrival in Kathmandu
Flying to Kathmandu along the northern border of Nepal on a clear day is in itself an exciting and memorable experience as exotic panoramic view of snow-capped Annapurna mountain range peaks sprawls before you.The Nepali support team will meet you at the airport and escort you to your hotel.

Day 2: Kathmandu - Lukla, Trek to Phakding
A spectacular flight and hair raising landing on a steep mountain runway brings us to the start of our trek at the village of Lukla [9350ft]. After meeting the crew, we head up the Dudh Kosi Valley on a well-marked trail to Phakding.(8700ft)

Day 3: Trek to Namache (11318 ft)
From Phakding, we cross and re-cross the river on high suspension bridges.Beyond Monjo is the entrance to the Sagarmatha National Park which was set-up in order to protect and preserve this fragile mountain environment.We then ascend quite steeply to Namche and along the way, if the weather is clear, catch a first glimpse of Mt Everest in the distance. Namche is the main trading village in the Khumbu and has a busy Saturday market - a meeting place for the Hindu traders from the lowlands and the Tibetan yak caravans that have crossed the glaciated Nangpa La Pass.

Day 4: Rest Day in Namche (11,318ft)
Namche is tucked away between two ridges amidst the giant peaks of the Khumbu and has an abundance of lodges, tea shops and souvenir shops as well as a magnificent outlook. It is an ideal place to spend a rest day, acclimatizing to the new altitude before heading off towards Tengboche.Options for acclimatization walks include a visit to Khunde hospital which was set-up by Sir Edmund Hillary, or a one hour walk up to the Everest view hotel above Namche for the sunset view of Ama Dablam, Nuptse, Lhotse and Everest. There are also good views from the national park centre and museum just above the town.

Day 5: Trek to Tengboche (12677 fts)
After breakfast, we start our trek to Tengboche. We pass through Rhododendron, Birch tree forest with magnificent views of Amadablam, Thamserku and Kangtega Himalayan ranges.Dinner and overnight Tengboche.

Day 11: Trek to Pangboche (13,074ft)
It is downhill most of the way today, past Lobuche to Tugla and Pheriche. The Himalayan Rescue Association has trekkers aid post here which is interesting to visit.After lunch we cross the Khumbu Khola on a wooden suspension bridge and follow the Imja Khola to the village of Pangboche.

Day 12: Trek to Namche (11,318ft)
We continue to follow the river and, after crossing it, climb up through birch and rhododendron forest to Thyangboche and its famous monastery. There are magnificent views from here and Kwangde, Tawache, Everest, Nuptse, Lhotse, Ama Dablam, Kantega and Thamserku are just a few of the Himalayan giants which can be seen. From Thyangboche we descend to the bridge over the Dudh Kosi at Phunki Tenga, where there are water driven prayer wheels, before making our way back to Namche.

Day 13: Trek to Lukla (9514ft)
Our final days trekking follows the Dudh Kosi back down to Lukla.This last evening in the mountains is the ideal opportunity for a farewell party with the sherpa guides and porters, where we can sample some chang, try Sherpa dancing and look back on a memorable trekking experience.
