How to prepare your self for any adventure?
Fitness – Most important
- Start walks 3 to 4 times per week; go for 45 minutes to 60 minutes brisk walk. If you can go for walks with your backpack or a smaller one nothing like it.
- Do stretching exercise (stiff body can break down easily).
- Built strength training (weights or GYM or at least do Surya Namaskar; Pushups; Squats and Stomach Crunches). 20 minutes 3 times per week is OK.
- Eat good food (have 3 to 4 servings of vegetable or fruit salads per day).
- Pranayam – Breathing exercise for developing stronger lungs.
- If you have purchased a new shoe for trek, start wearing it at least 10 to 15 days in advance to get used to the new shoe.
Looking forward to meet you for yet another exciting Nature Knights adventure.

Nature Knights – Mountaineering Mandala adventure at Ratnagiri
Where the mountains meets the beach
Where adventure meets the adventurer
Where the grommet meets appetite
Few moments of Truth...
Standing at the edge of the cliff I saw an ant size man looking up,
I did not have to strain my ears to listen
to the wooofering aggression of the coastal winds
and the raising applaud of the waves..
my eyes had developed magnified vision
and could clearly see the surf of the water,
a tingly sensation developed under my feet,
cheeks were a blush of red,
adrenaline juice was ready to explode in my belly,
all my senses were 100% alert,
time froze in suspense as I turned around taking my position to take first few steps on the cliff face..
for true prayers that were to come of my heart it should be now,
for it was the moment of truth now that it was my turn to walk down the great cliff hanger path..
