“Do you have to be super fit?” Raksha: “Not super fit.” ⛰️

Her version of getting started:
🧠 Be mentally fit first. Have the willingness to become fit.
🥾 Start small. Tiny treks.
🏔️ Keep building. Today she’s done Mount Kilimanjaro.

You get fit on the journey, not before it. 😄

22 km. Mostly flat. And still one of those treks you should not underestimate. 🥾💦

Our Dudhsagar trek took us through the beautiful trails of Bhagwan Mahavir Wildlife Sanctuary, with long stretches of walking, lush green forests and sections where we had to cross streams.

The trail does not have many steep climbs, which is why it can be considered moderate. But the 22 km distance, humidity and hours of continuous walking make endurance the real challenge.

We started at almost 10:30 AM and returned only around 6:45 PM. It was a long day on our feet, but reaching Dudhsagar made every kilometre worth it. 💦

If you are planning this trek, preparation makes a huge difference. Wear proper trekking shoes with good grip, carry enough water and snacks, start early and respect the rules of the forest.

And most importantly, don’t underestimate a trek just because it is mostly flat.

Because sometimes, it is not the elevation that tests you.

It is simply how long you can keep walking. 🥾

💦 Have you done the Dudhsagar trek?

People don’t stop adventuring because they get old. They get old because they stop adventuring. 🥾

Raksha had just moved to Australia when she joined a group hike and met a woman around 65, trekking with her dad. He was 85 or 90. Both fully kitted out, both ready to go.

Still think you’re too old for it?

The transition we all need: from ‘I need a break’ to ‘I’m going to the mountains.‘

The coolest pictures with the Lions of BWW. Sahana told us that the group are lionesses, including Shyam, and it makes sense.

@solopassport knows a lot of photography tricks..

Scared of your first solo trip? Same. So was she. 😅

Raksha: 59 countries, all 7 continents, Antarctica, Kilimanjaro. And a sleepless night before trip one, because her friend bailed and the “what ifs” took over. 🎒

Her take: you don’t need courage to start. It comes after you go.

In this one:
✌️ Extend a trip by 2 days. That’s the whole solo test.
🧊 Antarctica, paid in instalments
😂 Booked Borneo. Landed in Brunei.

Left the city behind for Makalidurga: a trail past old stone walls, small shrines glowing in the dark, and a summit view worth every step. Great company made it better. 🥾🛕

Shout out to @letstrekbangalore and @solopassport for organising this trek

Thank you all for joining us on today’s Makalidurga Betta Hike!

From the fresh air and scenic views to the climbing and interesting conversations along the way, it was such a lovely experience to share with all of you.

The trail gave us plenty of adventure, but as always, reaching the top is only one part of the experience. It is the journey and, more importantly, the people you share it with that make the day special. ❤️

A big thank you to Vivek and Mithun @mithun__manjunatha for organising today’s hike and making it happen. And thank you to everyone who came along and made it such a fun day. We definitely had an amazing company! 😊

We hope to see you again on another trail soon.
Until then, keep hiking, stay fit and keep exploring!
See you on the next adventure!
