Two Day Trek (Igatpuri)

Stepping towards DP realising the time left to graduate,I thought of spending more time with my peers and classmates alongside my education.This 2 nights 3 days trek was filled with amusement and surprises,i was astonished and excited when i saw the itinerary having a lot more things including 2 days for tracking,spending time socially,contributing to make the environment more sustainable by cleaning the surroundings of a dam near that area and getting to know more about nature.The excitement was at peak as we left for the trip in a bus talking throughout the way,engaging more with our mentors,throughout the way enjoying the road trip.The first day of trekking was very magical as the nature from there was something i haven’t feel or see before moreover the place we stayed at was really fun as it was very spacious and a good place to spend time with my peers,furthermore the breakfast and other activities facilities that our mentors provided us was like a cherry on top of the cake.

Learning outcomes portrayed –  

LO2 – Demonstrate that challenges have been undertaken, developing new skills

The trek for me was surprisingly a bit difficult than i expected to be as because of the cold temperature over there,the grass and rocks on the incline slope was a bit wet and moisturised which made the surface slippery and challenging to climb on however it helped me improve my balance and self management skills specifically including safety which was shown throughout the 2 days of trekking,not only this but also i am a bit fear of heights and from there we were a long way above the sea level which was a small step to overcome my fear of heights.

LO6 – Engagement with issues of global significance

The trip got a bit more better when we got to a huge dam which was very beautiful while we stood there and took a look at it however when we got closer we saw a lot of trash over there which we were there to clean up,I personally felt a bit more proud when I was contributing in the betterment of the environment and helping to clean up a small area of land,moreover this will also help to keep the pollution in control,moreover it might be contributing to inspire other people to take a step towards the betterment of environment,

LO7 – Recognize and consider the ethics of choices and actions

I realised that me myself in my daily routine see people throw trash near my environment and i am one of the people who do that sometimes without thinking or realising the factors and the consequences that would occur by doing so,after what we saw and after feeling responsible of my actions I too stopped throwing trash and try to convince people around me not to.
