Description
Excerpted from the website description:
- A trekking club in Mulund, Mumbai established in 1983 to promote and popularise trekking, mountaineering and conservation of historical monuments and spreading awareness of nature
The organisation, Chakram Hikers, started as an umbrella for adventurous, inquisitive and curious individuals who wanted to know more and discover new places. It has, through these years, crystallised into a multi-faceted group.
We, through 25 years of dedicated efforts, have emerged successful in kindling the spirit of adventure among all age groups. The main aim of our club is to create awareness amongst the public about the rich cultural as well as historical heritage of Maharashtra.
The organisation was registered with the Registrar of Societies and Charitable Trusts in January 1982 with the name "Chakram Hikers, Mulund" (Registration No. F-8493/Bom, BOM/40/83 GBBSD) with its registered office at 4, Bima Chhaya, Mahatma Phule Marg, Mulund (E), Mumbai - 81. Its current Administrative Office is at 302, Shivanand Coop Hsg. Society, Sant Ramdas Marg, Next to Vamanrao Muranjan School, Mulund(E), Mumbai - 81.
To achieve its objectives, Chakram Hikers have mounted many a trekking expedition to landmark forts,mountains and pinnacles including Salher in Northern Maharashtra to Vishalgad and Rangna in the Tal Konkan Region.

Additional Information
Our Mission
Chakram Hikers, as an organisation, helps us achieve not only the main objective of promoting trekking and nature sport among the youth but also promotes the other aims of the organisation, viz., spreading awareness about the geo-historical preserves of our State, nature conservation, protection of our forts, monuments and cultural heritage as also to nurture a feeling of pride, co-operation and collective responsibility in the youth. These activities gain a place of importance, when our society is going through a period of economic and cultural shock with the advent of the internet and youngsters forgetting to appreciate the enjoyment and educational value of the outdoors and getting more attracted to the electronic world on the net and the web and the vast vistas that it opens up.
We also carry out our social responsibility by making people aware of the need to protect their environment as well as preservation of our historical monuments as well as the flora and fauna.
One of our Main Activities is "Sahyankan"
"Sahyankan" is one of the most popular programmes where a mountain range in the Sahyadris is covered during a trek of 5 to 6 days. Arranged every alternate year in the remote regions of the Sahyadris, one comes across dense forests, formidable forts, adventurous climbs and rugged terrain. During Sahyankan lecture are arranged on various subjects like history, archaeology, astronomy, rock climbing etc. A thousand odd trekkers are reached through Sahyankan. In the last seventeen years, the organisation has arranged eleven “Sahyankans” and Sahyankan-03 was the last conducted.
The list of Sahyankans conducted so far is as follows :
Sahyankan 83 : Panhalgad to Vishalgad
