Overview :

Avchitgad is a hidden gem of Roha. Perfect for beginners and ideal even for kids above 10 years old. Avchitgad is an all season trek. In monsoon, it can be done as day trek. In winter, as night trek if you wish to see sunrise from top. It takes a little more than 1 hour to reach the top. You get to see a huge well on top of the fort, a temple and multiple water tanks. A natural wooden bridge to cross and the Buruj for breathtaking panoramic views of the region. Even though it's extremely near to popular town Roha, it is still not crowded and even on weekends you barely find any trekkers on this trek making it a great offbeat trek to disconnect from your routine life. Since this is a small trek, we also visit Revdanda Fort and Beach after the trek is done, making it a perfect weekend outing offering adventure and fun.

How do you determine your fitness?

Trekking requires good cardiovascular fitness. One can improve this by going for a run on a regular basis and breathing exercises also helps. Smoking also hampers lung capacity, avoid smoking if you want to improve your cardiovascular health.
Even though trekking requires full body strength but strong lower body helps a great deal. Hamstring, Glute and Calves are main muscles that are put to test on treks to name a few. Gym goers often pay less attention to lower body workouts and hence sometimes struggle on trek.
Some treks have less elevation gain (height gain) but are long treks, those trek require good endurance. Endurance can not be built overnight, it takes a long time and constant active lifestyle.
Just because you take long walks, do yoga or go to the gym does not necessarily mean that you are in good fitness. The type of workout you do and your cardiovascular fitness is what matters on treks.
If you have a Body Mass Index (BMI) of more than 25 then you should only start with Easy treks.

How do we grade our treks ?
Easy: Ideal for first timers but if you are not in good fitness or have a less active lifestyle then select treks which have less than 2 hours of climbing.

Easy Moderate: Ideal for first timers, but requires good endurance as these treks may have longer duration of climb even though terrain may be easy.
Moderate: These trek require good fitness and the terrain can be challenging, like constant climb or tricky patches. These are usually recommended only if you have done a few treks before and have done well on them. Fit and active beginners can also do these treks but we always suggest to start with easy treks.
Moderate-Difficult: These trek are only for trekkers who have done few moderate level treks before and have good fitness and endurance.

Difficult: These treks either have long trekking hours or have technical climb or both. Only suitable for people who trek regularly.
