Trekkers show up in large numbers for workshop by Indiahikes and Decathlon

On November 18, 2023, Indiahikes, in collaboration with Decathlon, hosted a workshop for the trekkers in Bangalore. While we regularly conduct online meetings with our trekkers to prepare them, this was the first face-to-face meeting we were hosting. 

"While around 200 trekkers expressed interest in the workshop, we were wondering how many of them would actually turn up. We were surprised that a whopping 124 members not only came but actively participated in the workshop," expresses Nandana, head of experience coordination at Indiahikes.  

During the workshop, our expert facilitator, Ravi Ranjan, ran trekkers through important information on "how to prepare for a winter trek," covering key aspects of layering, fitness, packing, and traveling, including rare tips that only someone with 5 years of trek leadership expertise can share. 

Trekkers found the event to be extremely helpful. "I feel more confident about my preparation for the trek!” said a trekker.

At Indiahikes, we love meeting our trekkers, but we rarely get a chance to do so before their treks. Community meet-ups have always been a pipe dream. But it looks to us like trekkers love such workshops. We hope to conduct more such workshops, not only in Bangalore but across the country.
