1. Which shoes are ideal for trekking, can I wear my sports shoes ?

For Trekking in Maharashtra, Coaster CTR Trekking shoes are the best available option, they cost around Rs1100-1600. Can check more details in this link (Click here). Sports shoes are not recommended, wear at your own risk. Floaters, sandals, crocs are strictly not allowed on our treks. Also do not buy expensive trekking shoes from Decathlon, Woodland or other such brands, they are good for Himalayan Treks and not for wet and rocky terrains of Maharashtra.
 

2. I am a first time trekker, which type of trek should I go for ?

For start, you should go for an easy grade trek and see how your body reacts and test your fitness level. If you do well, then you can do moderate level treks. Trekking is an adventure sport and even easy grade treks require basic fitness, do not expect easy grade trek to be just flat walk. Gym and walking can give you decent fitness but trek requires good lower body strength and good cardiovascular health, so do not assume that you have good fitness because you go to gym or walk daily. Ask us before registering if that particular trek is ideal for first time trekker or not.​

​

More than 40 percent of our trekkers come solo, trekking is such activity where you mix up easily with other participants. And if not other participants then our trek leaders are always there to give you company.
