How awesome is the new Mumbai Trail? You must see it to believe these words. “The whole trail is wonderful. It has a good mix of difficult, moderate and easy terrain. And one will pass through a variety of landscapes like forests, scrub lands, lakes, hills, farm lands, rivulets etc. There will be a lot of greenery and avian life during the event dates. It’s a great trail and challenge for people who love walking and the outdoors.” said Bipasha Majumder after the International Trail Audit visit in June. Make sure that you enjoy the beauty around you while you take a shot at it. No wonder that the Western Ghats makes it to the list of UNESCO’s World Heritage Sites and is one of the eight "hottest hotspots" of biological diversity in the world. It is also the favourite weekend getaway for Mumbaikars and Punekars alike.

Mumbai Trailwalker promises to be ‘kuch hatke’ as we say it in Hindi. It is far different from the Bangalore challenge. Karl Lung, an International Trailwalker veteran from Hong Kong, who did the Trail Audit said, “The Mumbai trail involves a lot more ups and downs than Bangalore. The challenge is not just more physically demanding, but the longer hiking time means that you need an even stronger mind to combat fatigue. The majority of Mumbai will be on unpaved trails. While this is good for your feet as you are less likely to get blisters, proper hiking shoes are necessary. Walkers also need to pay much more attention to the trail marks and direction posts as it is easy to get lost on trails, especially at night. The weather (note: I only walked Bangalore in February and Mumbai in April, so this is just my educated guess.) should be a little cooler than Bangalore. However, one should pay attention to the high diurnal temperature, especially the much cooler weather at night.”
