Ulysses 360 Degrees

Two years ago, on my first trek to Kothlighad sitting with faces I have seen for the first time…reached Karjat when 2 young guys joined us in the bus and all enthu. Telling their stories on what they did at Rajmachi and their experiences. Sitting at back of the bus listening to their stories..I did know how to react whether to be surprised or be awed or just let them talk…while me minding my own business (ie to keep silent). And I did the later.

In the searing heat while everyone was walking slowly stopping at every available spot, these 2 guys just ran ahead and reached the village. I was all huffing and puffing…thinking on how much energy they have and I am a slow poke….few months later another trek to Visapur…I meet him again but this time he is with a big ruck sack…carrying around 10 kilos on his back while I am with around 2 litres only…this is Gautam for you, with whom I have started a company called Ulysses 360 Degrees which deals with Trekking and adventure sports.

Two weeks back our first company event, Rappelling in Borivali National Park in which we expected around 25 people but only 15 turned up…as the people enjoyed the whole experience we thought why not continue with a bigger number of people and then we end up at Rajmachi, Kondane Caves…for a corporate event.

As for me…experience in meeting with people and knowing them was fun….
