In this fun and exhausting activity, we had trekked to the Bhavarkada Waterfalls, near Chikhli Village, Navsari district, Surat.

I selected this activity as a part of my CAS experience to experience trek on rainy season. It was difficult to trek as the ground were wet and very steep, which made it more hard for trekking. The trek was of 4 hours

Learning Outcome 2 : Demonstrate that challenges have been undertaken, developing new skills

The trek was quite challenging since it was muddy and we were trekking in the rain. It caused us to slip several times and also get dirty. It was also a very extensive trek and consumed a lot of our energy. However, I was gradually able to cope up with other strategies to walk in the mud like by sitting or sliding. I developed my problem solving skills in the process by adapting to the new situations I was in and walking constantly.

Learning Outcome 4 : Show perseverance and commitment in CAS Experience

The trek was very long and exhausting and at some time we felt like giving up but together we completed the trek and I think it was worth it. The waterfalls were amazing and we had a good time spending there at the waterfall. It symbolized not just the physical journey, but also the commitment and perseverance I showed throughout the day. My continuous involvement, positive mindset, and support for peers demonstrated my commitment to this CAS experience.

Conclusion

The experience taught me on how there can be several difficulties in achieving something however we can always overcome that through different strategies based on situations. It also encouraged me to critically think in situations of hardship and support my friends when they had trouble trekking, as they did for me. Overall, the experience was fun and memorable.
