Important Things to consider while trekking Rajgad.

We have made some mistakes while starting trekk so as per our experience Take below care to avoid difficulties in trekking.

• As it is very long fort for trekking and also sharp for climbing mainly at Balekilla trek & Steep while returning, So wear Shoes with better grip to avoid sliding/Skidding specially in mansoon. Attached image will explain difficulty level of trekking.
• Take Plenty of water with you as it is medium difficult and long trekking you will get tired, Taking some energy drinks with you will be added advantage.
• Try to avoid children’s of age below 10 years with you for safety. If you took them always be with them and take care.
• In Mansoon trek way becomes very slippery due to mud so be careful at every step.
