Lost Lagoon Loop | A Secret Waterfall Trail

6:49 am: Board the 6:49 am Karjat (Fast) and meet the Vagabond team at the Karjat station ticket counter at 8:45 am.

08:45 am: Assemble & get into the taxis that will take us for breakfast.

09:05 am: Reach the restaurant and grab some hot and wholesome local breakfast.

10:30 am: Reach our base village, stretch and warm up a bit. After a short round of introductions and instructions, we are ready to take on the day!

11:00 am: Begin our walk from the base village. A short trail leads us to a meadow, a peaceful, open patch with stunning views, the perfect spot to catch your breath.

11:20 am: Relax, click some pictures, and soak in the natural vibes. We make our way to our destination.

11:50 am: Continue our walk through some farms, streams and forest cover, with Garbett Plateau in our line of vision, slowly leading us to a natural pool and waterfall.

12:30 pm: Arrive at our private lagoon. It’s time to unwind - dip your feet, splash around, or just sit back and listen to the sound of the falls.

1:15 pm: We make our way back and head to our local villager’s house for a delicious home-cooked meal.

2:45 pm: Hop into our cabs and begin the ride back to Karjat station.

3:30 pm: With full bellies, refreshed souls, and a pocketful of monsoon memories, bid adieu to a bunch of new friends.

• Do not wear sandals/slippers while hiking.

• For those who haven’t trekked with us before, don’t worry, we at Vagabond encourage you to take your time and have a great experience climbing with us. A Vagabond trek isn’t about speed; it’s about the group experience. For those of you who have trekked before, we encourage beginners and help them along the way.
• A day prior, you will be added to a WhatsApp group with all the other participants and your assigned Experience Manager. Further instructions will be shared in this group, and you can coordinate your travel with your co-travellers. If you have any doubts before this, feel free to WhatsApp us at https://wa.me/9321804770

• There isn’t an age restriction on any of our experiences; everyone is welcome. However, the average Vagabond customer is anywhere between 20-32 years old. The experience involves a good amount of time spent with the group. Depending on what experience you’re opting for, there could be a lot of walking and physical exertion. 
• It’s important to understand that most of our experiences include very rustic accommodation and not a luxurious means of transport. These may be basic in their facilities, but the hospitality is homely and comforting. If you’re someone who doesn’t like compromising on your comforts while travelling, this experience may not be very enjoyable.
• Most of our trips have a healthy number of solo travellers. We encourage you to join us solo, especially if you’re tired of waiting for your friends. We promise you’ll return with many more. 
• We try our best to be responsible travellers. Everyone is welcome to explore with us, but we pay utmost importance to cleanliness on all of our experiences. We encourage you to #LeaveNoTrace behind while you discover the beauty of the outdoors.
• It’s important to understand that in a limited amount of time, only a limited amount of experiences can be had. We like to cover a few places in-depth rather than just ticking off a long list of things to do and places to go to. However, if you are that kind of traveller, on almost all of our trips, you can feel free to wander by yourself to places of your interest.
• At a Vagabond Experience, it’s important to be open-minded and positive when things don’t go as per the plan. The essence of travelling in a group is being able to help each other out when in need. The weather could go bad, and plans could get altered. In such situations, we urge you to have faith in your group leaders to make the most informed decision for the group.

• Years of experience: We’ve been leading trips around the country since 2014. Our time in this field has helped us learn things about places and people that would not be possible without the amount of experience we have. This knowledge about the destination contributes to a more wholesome and enriching group experience.
• Footfall: Since our inception, we’ve led more than 4,500 people on treks, backpacking trips, camps, and outdoor experiences. Be rest assured, we’ve dealt with all kinds of people.
• Safety first: Given the time we’ve spent in the travel field, we know and believe in the importance of safety. All our Experience Managers are first-aid certified, and carry a well-equipped first-aid kit on every trip.
• Solo / female traveller friendly: Over the years we have noticed a trend in the increasing number of solo and female travellers on our trips. Many of our trips end up having a good amount of solo female travellers.
• Group size: We’ve come to realize that taking large groups of people compromises on an intimate interpersonal experience. Thus, our trips are led with a fairly small group of travellers who find it easier to get to know each other over the course of the trip.
• No discrimination: At Vagabond, we believe that your age, social class, gender or sexual orientation shouldn’t determine if you’re allowed on a trip or not. Anyone and everyone should feel safe and welcome to experience and explore new places.
• Flexible itinerary: On a Vagabond experience, you’re free to stray away from our scheduled itinerary and explore the place on your own. You do you. We’re not your travel guides. We’re here to facilitate a better understanding of the location and help you experience it in your own comfort zone.
• Mindfulness to nature: Over the years we’ve seen the places we visit turn filthier and less pristine. We don’t want to contribute to that any further. At a Vagabond experience, we encourage you to reduce your waste and leave the place cleaner than it was. Check out #LeaveNoTrace
• In-depth research: We're not a tour & travel agency. Every experience we offer you has been researched and experienced firsthand by our core members. We visit the locations ourselves and curate an experience that we believe to be in sync with our ideologies.
