OffBeat Sahyadri: Monsoon Trek Schedule 2012



Every year at the height of summer, we all long for only one thing. Beaten by the unforgiving sun, we all want those first drops to fall on our weary bodies and drench us entirely. We wait for the first rains. They elude us. They tease us. But when they fall upon us, we soak ourselves in untold bliss.
Wouldn’t it be great if you could do that without thinking about when your next exam is or what next your boss is going to throw at you or how much the local trains frustrate you or whatever guys!
Wouldn’t it be great if you could forget everything and just get away for a while and unwind and rejuvenate yourself?
Join us and we will take you on unforgettable journeys. Journeys that will become undying memories. Come with us and you will see the vast Sahyadri in its full monsoon glory. 
Offbeat Sahyadri brings to you the Monsoon 2012 schedule.
Because there are no limits!!!
