128 kilometers from Mumbai passing through Pen, vadhkal, near kolad one reaches a camp called EMPOWER camp one can come from pune via mulshi, ville too. Started by Brigadier of Indian Army Mr. Bhasin.
One gets to do almost every thing that outdoor sport asks for -Obstacle course, Swimming, Horse riding, Hot Air ballooning, Boating &, rafting, River crossing Rock climbing,Rappelling ,Paragliding apart from this if one organises thourgh some channel one can get corporate training too , seminars , lectures are organised for motivation, strategy, Stress bust, business planning etc.
A Quite place full of fun,it has a pituresque view a open space surrounded by green hills , It has a lake which is so clean, walking areas and lots of places to be with nature, one has choices to stay either in boot camps made of canvas or in cottages made of wood. In boot camp one finds comfortable beds, good clean bathrooms, fan , TV and in cottage same things plus AC are available .
Food is great too but then one should not expect chicken curries and alcohol there
The camp has a funda for Taining and learning with fun so its injustice to think that the place is luxury , one will miss out a lot if they dont venture out.
I had my best times there , probably the best time to go is after monsoons. A stream flows through the camp during taht time sitting under it fels like heaven water is clean and natural. I did trekking, climbing, shooting, rafting. Rafting was a sheer fun its risky and that makes it more challenging and amazing
To stay there one has to take out atleast a day and one morning extra.
The cost is not expensive either 2-3 thousand for 2 person to stay with food, if one wants to go for rafting another 1200 per person .
The place is serene and good for out bound training , already there have been many organisation who have conducted there training in that vicinity. With immense experience of Brig. Bhasin the learning becomes lively too . I shared lot of experiences with him and he almost scanned my phyche and gave me few tips that really practically viable and effective .
my 2 days passed really so fast i was not able to realise that i had to go
Empower camp really creates excitment and is a great experience
