Safety first

Safety & trek grades

How we grade every trek, how to prepare, and the rules we hold every group to.

The five-step grade scale

Every trek card shows these five dots. Here's what each step asks of you, and which treks sit where.

1
Easy
Well-trodden trail and gentle climbs. If you can walk 5 km at a steady pace, you can do this.
How to prepare: A week of brisk 30-minute walks, or taking the stairs every day.
Harishchandragad, Ratangad Fort, Hampi Trip, Vasota Jungle Trek, Velas Turtle Festival, Raireshwar & Kenjalgad Fort, Kalu Waterfall Trek, Kaas Pathar with Sajjangad, Bhimashankar to Bhorgiri Forest Trail
2
Easy–Moderate
Some steep, rocky or slippery patches, and stream crossings in the monsoon.
How to prepare: Two weeks of 45-minute walks or easy jogs, plus a few sets of squats.
Devkund Waterfall, Andharban Jungle Trek, Aadrai Jungle Trek
3
Moderate
Sustained climbs, ladders or exposed rock, often with a night start.
How to prepare: Three weeks: jog 3–4 km three times a week and climb stairs with a light backpack.

Our rules, your safety

The leader's call is final
On weather, route and turnaround time, the trek leader decides. Plans can change for safety.
Tell us about your health
Disclose any pre-existing medical condition before the trek. You're responsible for being fit for the grade.
Monsoon closures
Some trails close in the monsoon (Vasota, for example). We follow forest-department rules and say so on the trek page.
No alcohol, no smoking
No alcohol, no smoking and no loud music on any trek. It's printed in every brochure.
Zero plastic on the trail
Strictly no plastic thrown on the trail. Carry your wrappers back down.
Solo and women trekkers
Book a single seat and trek with the group. On multi-day trips stays are gender-wise (Hampi: 3–4 sharing). Ask us about the group for your date before you book.

Leader-to-trekker ratios and first-aid certifications will be published here. Until then, ask us on WhatsApp about your date.

Tell us which trek and how many of you. We'll reply with dates and seats.
