Look no further. Here’s all you need to know about the upcoming treks/events.
The excessive rainfall and floods in August ruled out a lot of treks. Those were the times that truly tested the grit of each and every traveler among us and also proved why we should reconsider our steps towards environmental protection.

This trek has a lot of characteristic Deccan Plateau features like volcanic boulders and dry forests. It’s an intriguing one for the beginners and an interesting trail for the experienced ones.
Atop the peak is an ancient Omkareshwara Temple and apparently, it is the source of the north Pinakini River. Exciting isn’t it? Book it here then.
Kayak on Shambhavi
If you’re tired of walking to reach a destination and are looking for a change in the mode of transport 😉 then boy this is for you. In this fun-filled Kayaking trip on the river Shambhavi, you will only do two things.
Paddle and have fun. It’s its kind experience in the untouched lap of nature. So, why wait, pick up your paddle, and paddle away.
Gandikota & Belum Caves Exploration
One of the latest additions to the treks offered by PTU and the most anticipated one too. Gandikota is often called the grand canyon of India.
The Belum caves are home to some of the most important historical & geographical findings. Belum caves are the largest and longest cave systems open to the public not just in India but in the entire Indian sub-continent.
The cherry on the top is the kayaking experience on the Penna river with the canyon surrounding you.
So, see you guys on your choice of the trek!
