Missed celebrating New Years cos of work? Worry not, we have you sorted! Starting the first weekend of 2020 with a bash, we are camping on January 4-5, at the village of Bamnoli, near the peaceful backwaters. A serene location where you spend the night enjoying the quiet, away from the chaos of the city. Enjoy the local food and sit around the bonfire with friends. In the morning we take a boat ride to the base of Vasota. It's a climb that'll satisfy your adventurous spirit and overwhelm you with it's beauty. From the top, you get the view of the dense forests of Vasota at one side and the backwaters on the other side. We have lunch at the top before walking down the hill again. The journey back is equally beautiful as you see the sun setting while you are in the boat returning to Bamnoli. Once we freshen up again and bid farewell to the villagers, we leave for Pune with a bucket full of memories to cherish the whole year.

I was looking forwarded to do K2S since long and finally it could happen with Pune travel club. I must say, it was one awesome experience which would not have been great without the support of Vamsy and other co-travellers on the Trek.
Thank you Pune travel club and Vamsy for such an awesome experience. I look forward to have some more adventure with you. ��

It was my first ever trip and camping.... And people at Pune Travel Club made it really special for me. Considering the heavy rush for New Years I understand a few things might go here and there but overall I just loved it. Camping at Kashid... Beachside Campfire... Next day Beautiful scenary at the beach and water sports.... It was a special start of the New Year for me. Thanks a lot Pune Travel Club team.
Also I really want to mention about Shraddha.Her nature is extremely Sweet and friendly and makes everyone really comfortable. She is gem of person.... All the best and keep it up 😊

PTC is the reason I have become passionate about traveling, I have done 3 trips with them in one month. I am not going to stop traveling with them. Treks are so well organized and the trek leads are so helpful and understanding. Traveling with PTC is now no more about choice, it's a habit now.
Thank you PTC!!
