White Collar Hippie is about bringing you incredible outdoor and offbeat travel experiences. We want to be surprised, humbled and transformed by the journeys we embark on and we want you to come along with us!
We believe in taking things up a notch in everything we do. In Goodwill Hiking we do this by reversing some of the damage done to the environment, by cleaning as we climb!
Karnala Fort is 1860 feet high and it offers a breathtaking view of the Sahyadris. We embark on our journey to Panvel in the morning by bus, munching on goodies and grooving to fun music on the way. Following a short walk through Karnala Bird Sanctuary, we stop to indulge in wholesome Maharashtrian breakfast before setting out to scale Karnala Fort via an adventurous route. The trek is 6 kms long and will take roughly 3 hours to complete. Not to forget - the view from the top is absolutely stunning!
We then start the descent – an easy, downhill walk that can be comfortably done in 2 hours. At the end of the trek and before leaving the sanctuary to head back to Bombay, we stop to relish a freshly-cooked organic meal prepared by the locals.
Whats better than spending time in nature, with new friends, doing a climb-and-clean trek through the beautiful hills around Mumbai!
CONTRIBUTE TO THE LOCAL ECONOMY - some of the local hosts will help as guides and all-round knowledge boosters on the trek. Apart from this, they will be cooking fresh organic meals for you in their own kitchens.
EDUCATIONAL INITIATIVE - another opportunity that will be seized during this trek is one that fits with White Collar Hippie's philosophy, and it's one they are sure fits yours too! They will share part of the proceeds with an educational initiative in the host village as yet another gesture to thank them for the time, hospitality and love.
DONATE - Moreover, White Collar Hippie encourages you to make donations like art supplies, old clothes, stationery and household items, such as quilts, bed sheets, umbrellas (since it is monsoon) to the residents of the host village.
What better way to spend a day in this season than living it to the fullest with things that make your soul happy - friends, nature, food and lots of adventure!
