A decade ago, trekking wasn’t as popular as it is today. The rise of social media and digital platforms certainly helped bring it into the spotlight, but even then, many people hesitated to explore the outdoors. The two biggest challenges were a lack of reliable information and affordability.

When our founders started Mumbai Trekkers, they had already documented over 50 unique trekking routes through their personal journeys. While information was available online, they realized it wasn’t always easy for everyone to interpret and apply it practically when heading out on treks. That’s when they decided to start organizing treks — making it simpler, safer, and more accessible for others, all while continuing to discover and document new trails.
 

Trekking often appeals to young people, especially students, who are typically working within a tight budget for weekend activities. Our founders understood this first-hand — having been students themselves when they began trekking, they knew how important affordable options are. With this in mind, Mumbai Trekkers was built to offer cost-effective adventures without compromising on safety or the overall experience. While we aren’t a non-profit organization, we strive to keep our events reasonably priced to make trekking more accessible to everyone.
 

Maharashtra is home to hundreds of forts and trekking destinations, yet only a few are widely known. Part of our mission is to bring lesser-known, offbeat treks into the spotlight, helping people experience the richness of our natural and historical landscapes. We also believe strongly in responsible trekking — respecting nature and minimizing our environmental impact.
 

With these values at our core, we aim to introduce more people to the joys of trekking and help them reconnect with the outdoors, one step at a time.
