NAVKSHITIJ ADVENTURE CLUB, exclusively for MCFs, is a bright feather in our cap. Beginning with a four-day Pune-Lonavala walkathon in November 2003, our adventure activities have been a roaring success. These include treks to the forts and hills in and around Pune, Parvati Hill climbing contest, and Jal Dindi (boat travel from Alandi to Pandharpur, spreading the message of keeping the rivers clean through street plays to the villagers in the hamlets that dot the route) and parasailing, zorbing, river crossing, rappelling, paragliding in the Himalayan region.

Himalayan feat: Every May, our MCFs scale the lofty Himalayas, climbing to a height of 10,000 to 12,000 feet, as part of high altitude trekking. Our MCFs have done it unfailingly every year, since we first began in May 2006. This activity is open to all the children in schools for the MCF, above 12 years of age. MCFs from schools in Mumbai and Nashik join us on our annual high altitude trek in the Himalayan region.

Trekking to the forts in and around Pune is an integral part of our routine. Many friends and volunteers, especially from IT companies, join us on our treks, adding zest and spirit and motivating our special friends. Our favourite haunts are Shivneri, Taljai, Mahabaleshwar, Neelkanteshwar and Raigad.

Monsoon is our favourite season and we continue our monthly trekking activities during the monsoon season too.
