2018

For 2018 I have bigger GOALS to achieve-

1.  Disciplining Sleep Timings & exercising at 7 am- Followed this for a month 🙁
2.  Improving Rock- Climbing Skills – Worked on this 
3.  Attempting a 6000m peak + A Himalayan Trek- Didnt materialise
4.  Atleast 20 peaks in Sahyadris – Nope 🙁

January 2018 SAHYADRI – Chimney climbing at Padargad

Aug 2018 SAHYADRI – Offbeat fort of Bahulagad

Oct 2018 SAHYADRI – Mysterious, Beautiful, Surreal  Devkund Waterfalls

2019

2018 goals were hugely underachieved 🙁

Mainly because of the fact that two of my best freinds passed away over in Jan & March. Miss you Bhushan & Chandu .  I was mentally broken for a while which lead to loss of interest and no treks . After I got back my act together  i did Bahulagad & Devkund. But then job got into my way and wasted the remaining year.

For 2019 without putting forward any numbers, the goals:

1. Improve fitness 
2. Explore more into rock climbing 
3. One 6000m + peak.
4. Will do Weekend treks 

January 2019 Mountaineering – Basic Rock Climbing Course @ SVIM

After this rock climbing course I suffered a shoulder injury while trying to do a headstand. This injury had me out of action for almost 6 months . Wihtout any exercise or treks I lost most of my hard-earned stamina and gained some unwanted fats . With this most of my goals for this year were dead.

After theses 6 months with the onset of monsoon i started to feel better and started exercising again. With a 90% fit body wihtout carrying a heavy back pack i re started my journey in Sahyadris. My hunger for mountains is now insatiable. 6 months of idleness has revealed my true passion.

July 2019 – SAHYADRI – 400 ft Kataldhar Waterfall Trek

July 2019 – SAHYADRI – Kondana Caves – Piece of history

July 2019 – SAHYADRI – Kothaligad Fort / Peth Killa – a Heavenly experience

Aug 2019 – SAHYADRI – Sondai Trek – a Heavenly experience

Aug 2019 – SAHYADRI – Mordhan Trek – a Heavenly experience

Sept 2019 – SAHYADRI – Rambaug Point – Matheran – Garbett point – Range Trek . 21 kms but the view was splendid.

THE WAY AHEAD

The plan is to trek as much as possible in the next few years. Travelling can wait for times when body wont support that much exhertion. When i am not planning long trips I am always in for some last moment weekend treks in Sahyadris.

Mountaineering Goals

In the next 5 years i see myself summitting peaks at 6000 m and moving to 7000 m and finally breaking into 8000 m barrier after 3-4 years. I have put this on my website to motivate myself.  No long term plan is ready but the nearest plan is to summit a 6000 m peak this year 2019 probably Kang Yatse 2. Financial Plan is yet to be figured out. Only if some rich guy could sponsor me.

Travel Goals

I will continue to budget travel in India to offbeat locations. Long term goals include overseas touristy places like Santorini, Seychelles, Iceland, Adventure trip of New Zealand etc at a point of time in my life when i would become a bit lazy for mountains. I can probably add the entire world in the list. But my priority has and always will remain the hidden offbeat gems in India.

I dont believe in counting visited countries . I think India has enough diversity to last one for his lifetime.

Improving endurance and breathing would be the key focus of 2019.

Will keep you posted. Cheers.
