thriving for taking the Beaters to OffBeat destinations.
Most of us have already visited Alang
Madan Kulang, Kalsubai, Ratangad, Harishchandragad, Bhairavgad, Kunjargad etc

region is.
Mount Katrabai offers a bird eye view
of the Fort Ratangad and Khuta Pinnacle. Beyond which one can see the entire
expanse of A-M-K to kalsubai range. In-between these lay the shipnur hill and
Sandhan Valley.

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. ;)
Offbeat sahyadri
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
offbeater 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 becomes
unforgettable! Trust us on this.
Now some basic codes.
Respect nature.
1) Absofreakinglutely 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? J.
REDUCE, REUSE,
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 a mind of
his own. Beware and do not make the mistake of taking him for granted. It
sounds weird but it’s true.
With fellow trekkers.
1) It is fun to interact and get to know
people from different walks of life. Feel free to take the opportunity to
expand your social circles.
2) Share water and food. Nothing else is
a better ice breaker than being offered water or a bite of your sandwich!
3) Care for your fellow trekkers. It is
not nice to be self centered and unamicable.
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) Simply put, stay with the group. Do
not rush far too ahead or lag too behind. We understand that everyone has a
different stamina and we try to keep the group bound together.
3) Do not wander off from the main trail.
Whenever there is no established trail, strictly stay with the group.
Be within the sight of the person ahead of you and the one behind you. It
helps.
4) 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 offbeaters.
5) Finally, the non arguable part.
Smoking and other forms of tobacco use and alcohol consumption is strictly
prohibited.
Regards,
Team OffBeat Sahyadri
