ADVENTURE TREK TO KALSUBAI PEAK

The Department of English & Postgraduate Center organized this two-day (January 24 & 25, 2024) Adventure Trek to Kalsubai Peak with an objective to pave the way for students to discover their inner strength, resilience, and passion for exploration. 

Students during the stay at the base village Bari and during the trek to the top of the 'Mount Everest of Maharashtra' showed unwavering enthusiasm and spirit. There was a magic in their madness - their willingness to push boundaries and embrace the beauty of Nature made every step of journey worthwhile. Their courage and determination were evident with every stride towards the summit.

As we reflect on the memories created and lessons learned during the trek, each one determined to carry forward the spirit of adventure, camaraderie, and perseverance into all aspects of their lives. May the experience serve as a reminder of the heights we can reach when we are determined and, we are together, no matter how far or difficult the goal-achievement is, said Mr. Zameer Salim Sayyed, the Coordinator of the trek.

Prof. (Dr.) Aftab Anwar Shaikh, Principal, Poona College, congratulated all the 41 (21 boys and 20 girls) and 6 staff members who took the flag of the college on the top of the mountain. While motivating the students after they returned college, he said, May you continue to embrace new challenges and adventures with the same fervour and determination that propelled you to the summit of Kalsubai Peak.

Dr. Gulnawaz Usmani and Dr. Mohsin Shaikh, Teaching Faculty from the Economics and Geology Department respectively played a pivotal role as well as Miss. Shahin Shaikh and Miss. Farheen from B. Voc. MLT took painstaking efforts in boosting morale of the students. Dr. Wasim Ahmad, Assistant Professor of Economics, also led a group to the top of the mountain.

Underneath the cloak of midnight's embrace, we embarked upon a nocturnal odyssey at the bewitching hour of 01:00 AM. Our quest? To ascend the lofty heights and behold the celestial spectacle of dawn from the zenith of Maharashtra's noble peak, Kalsubai

The sunrise unfolded like a masterpiece, with soft rose and golden hues painting the sky.
