Safety & Risk Awareness

Gorakhgad is a challenging mountain trek involving forest trails, uneven terrain, steep rock-cut steps, narrow sections and exposed rocky areas.

The final ascent towards the summit requires careful movement on rock-cut steps and rocky patches. These sections can become particularly slippery during rainfall.

Participants must:

• Maintain a safe distance from edges.
• Use both hands where required on steep sections.
• Avoid rushing or overtaking unnecessarily.
• Follow the designated trail.
• Stay with the trekking group.
• Follow instructions from the trek leader and local support team.
• Avoid attempting any route or climb independently.

Adventure Club Pune is not responsible for loss, theft or damage to personal belongings.

Any medical treatment, hospitalization, medication, ambulance or emergency evacuation expenses shall be borne by the participant.

Special Safety Advisory

The upper section of Gorakhgad contains steep rock-cut steps and exposed rocky terrain. The final climb is significantly more demanding than the initial forest section.

Participants must not attempt the summit section without the permission and guidance of the trek leader.

If weather conditions, rock conditions or participant safety make the upper section unsuitable, the trek leader may restrict access and turn the group around.

The decision of the trek leader regarding access to the pinnacle, caves or summit will be final.
