Today, five "fearless" BTAs met with about 25 USI staffers to discuss plans for the trekking adventure to Goa.
We'll leave at 9:30 PM Friday, December 6th and take an overnight train to Goa. On arrival, we'll trek about 15 kilometers to the waterfall. There will be two "rooms", two tents, and a dormitory for all the Deloitte people. We're planning to sleep in an indoor area, since we don't want to purchase sleeping bags just for the trip. It's supposed to be about 50 degrees at night. The long pants and long sleeved shirt I just brought will come in very handy!
The most important detail so far is that we'll probably need to carry enough water for the entire trip, since bottled water will be scarce. Hummmmm. What to do? I could finally get to try the water purification tablets I brought along. Then again, it is awfully late in the game to be testing them out.....
From Hyderabad, the trip is about 530 miles. By train, it takes about 14 hours. We'll be coming back by overnight bus on Sunday night. I assume that will take a "little" longer. That's all we know so far. Guess we really will Jump Into Adventure!
Let's hope our camp site will look something like this!
Our Quest!
