Pound the
belt on the treadmill, keep going round in circles on the asphalt trail in
your local park or take a day hike or longer weeklong treks (with overnight
camping) through forests, over verdant vales and across rolling hills
- life offers many choices. Ask yourself - When is the last time you did something for the first time! |
Day Hikes and Treks (Easy)  The day treks can vary from only 2-3 hours up to a full day where one starts from Parkwoods Retreat after breakfast and gets back before sunset. You would have options of choosing to hike upto Village Paughat, Village Anji and  Gambhar
River Tributary. These are picturesque treks where enroute you pass small rustic villages and pine, deodar and oak forests and get to enjoy spectacular valley and mountain views besides diverse flora, fauna and birdlife. Traditional onsite village lunches can also be organised for small groups.  Soft Treks (Easy) It can be a soft trek where you go as a big group and porters carry the food and supplies. The site would be a lush green meadow where the helpers set out a delicious picnic lunch for you.  Navigational Survival Day Trek (Medium) Undertake an interesting survival trek where you are divided into teams. To trace your way and find food along the path, you are given maps and clues. You also encounter soft obstacles along the way to make the trek more exciting. You walk through interesting forest trails to reach an emerald clearing perhaps by a water body. Here you are met by the Retreat staff who would have kept ready an appetizing lunch. Night Treks (Easy to Medium)  Those who want their nightly comforts and the ‘luxuries’ of the Retreat and psychological safety of Parkwoods (the permanent ‘base camp’) but nevertheless want to experience an adrenaline rush, while combating the fear of the unknown, can undertake a night trek. After sunset and evening tea take a 2-3 hour round trek. With flashlights, cats-eyes, and an indomitable spirit, explore the paths through the forested undergrowth – the dark shadows, night sounds of the jungle, the suspense of the unknown at the next bend – makes it a lifetime experience! Back at the Retreat a crackling bonfire and a delicious barbecue would await you. Sitting around, bonhomie spreads as you debate who were the fearless tigers and who were the scaredy rabbits! Overnight Camping at Tara Devi or Karol Ka Tibba (Medium to Hard)  If you have a real streak of adventure
and are ready to move out of your comfort zones, a group can undertake
a one day overnight camping trek.
This is just a sensitization to the real outdoors.The base camp is Parkwoods, Shoghi and you reach the overnight camping site after an interesting 5-6 hour full day trek.  Here, small tents are pitched, you curl inside sleeping bags for the night and food is cooked over campfires under the mystic night sky. Kitchen staff, guides and porters accompany you to take care of all logistics. The next morning, after breakfast, you trek back to Parkwood Forest Retreat at Shoghi.  All the treks are very enjoyable with gradual climbs, beautiful landscapes, encountering small villages enroute and passing through pine, deodar and oakwood forests with lovely views and diverse flora and fauna.  The camping sites are very picturesque. One is a huge lush meadow on a hilltop surrounded by pine trees. Another is a beautiful ridge with verdant forests all around and panoramic views. We also have an overnight camping site by a small river. Here adventure activities can also be set up. |
