Sagar Urs G, MBA, JAGSoM
The University is surrounded by the Sahyadri range on 3 sides. There are almost 265 waterfalls in the area surrounding the campus, which makes it a beautiful and one-of-a-kind experience trekking.
Places like Kothligad, Panduranga, and Solanpada Dam are hotspots to trek and spend your time. One of the 12 Jyotirlingas, Bhimashankar, is situated on the other side of one of the mountains, which is an 8 hours trek overall.
Treks are organized during the weekends when most of the students are free from their academic schedules. Students register with the Sports Committee a few days in advance and also attend drill sessions by PEP Faculty, specifically run for longer and difficult treks.
