A great trek during the monsoon season. The trek and transport arrangement were good by Adventure club Pune. (Although for such a long distance ride, we wouldve preferred a better vehicle)However, the choice of trek leader wasn't good. He wasn't proactive to start early and there was delay from the trek leader side at all point. All members for the trek were ready and we had to wait for the trek leader!!!Food wise, the plan for breakfast and lunch wasn't the best. The plan to have breakfast at the top would work if the lunch is to be served at the base camp. And not one with having both almost at the top within 2 hours gap. We decided to skip the lunch.In short, while the trek in itself was good, the planning and choice of trek leaders wasn't that good. - by Someshwar for Harishchandragad Trek .

Great experience, the guide Rohan Jadhav was very friendly, experienced and helpful. He covered all the important spots and took care of each member of the group. The group was small that day but the atmosphere created was very nice and friendly. The breakfast and lunch were also of good quality and we were served authentic Maharashtrian food. We girls were also offered changing rooms after the trek. - by Shivani Badiger for One Day Trek To Rajgad fort organized by Adventure Club Pune .

A tough challenge, but some amazing scenes along with a wonderful and flexible guide (Rohan). The views and experience of being around these massive boulders are jaw dropping. It was extremely hot when we went in May, so maybe the monsoon will season might be preferable for those who dont want to bear the heat. - by Amy Shin for Sandhan Valley Trekking, Camping & Rappelling (B1) organized by Adventure Club Pune .

There was only 1 guide with us, who although we really loved as a person, was not very well versed with the terrain.We were lost in a couple of instances and ultimately ended up doing a longer route after crossing the rocky patch (first stall).The problem is this added around 4 kms to this already relatively long trek.The other difficulty was that because of there being only 1 guide (Rohan), when one of my friends started feeling ill and had to be sent back midway, everyone else had to wait while Rohan dropped him back to the village and joined us.To avoid this and face other emergencies better, most treks I have done so far have a minimum of 2 guides or atleast 1 guide and 1 local.The trekking experience could further be enhanced if the guide is given instructions to allow trekkers to take a moment, wait and enjoy the scenic beauty instead of being constantly hurried. While we completely appreciate and completely understand how inordinate delays can cause a severe set back to the entire preplanned schedule, I think the constant plea/ command to keep moving ahead makes trekking in this haphazard manner a bit of an unpleasant experience.I'll end by requesting that the guide in question is not reprimanded because we quite liked and grew fond of him and wish him all the best for the future,But these things needed to be indicated.Regards. - by Kaustubh Thipsay for Harishchandragad Trek Via Khireshwar Route organized by Adventure Club Pune .

I am from Mumbai, I had been to this trek on 04th&05th August through Adventure Club Pune, we were supposed to be in all 7 participants for the trek, but on the day of the trek, the group of 6 participants postponed their trek, but thanks to Mr.Ajaysinh Lakhe, he did not cancel the trek, but instead sent one of his trek guide's Mr.Pankaj Kumar for me, the sole participant, this shows Adventure Club Pune's commitment towards not disappointing the trekkers who wait for the weekend to have a good adventure, and boy I had the time of my life, one of the best treks of my life this will always be.I and Mr.Pankaj had a good time knowing each other and exploring the trek route like friends rather than a trekker and his guide...Mr.Pankaj knows the route very well and not even once did we miss our way even in the pitch dark trek route we had to cover towards the base village. Good arrangement for sleeping overnight and the *ghar ghruti* food was delicious.Cheers to Mr.Ajaysinh, Mr.Pankaj and whatever *team he has* and *is building* towards providing thrill seeking trekkers like US, a experience of a lifetime. My best wishes are with you..Unless there is something seriously wrong or luck is not in your favour, i tend to make to believe, you will not be disappointed on this trek with ACP.. - by Massif D'souza for Rajmachi & Kondhane Caves Trek, Lonavla organized by Adventure Club Pune .
