Breaking the Monotony - Mountain Trail

In my last job, one of my duties was to organize corporate offsite events, whether they were team-building exercises, or just office get-togethers. After asking around, Mountain Trail came highly recommended so I organized our first team outing there. Before I had formally booked our outing, I had the pleasure of speaking with the owner of the Resort - Mr. Mayank Gupta, who seemed extremely professional, and assured me that whatever I was looking for would be taken care of.
Our company did not have a traditional team structure, and some teams consisted of people from different from different qualification backgrounds. The downside to this was that the people in these teams didn’t get along and this affected their end result. To be frank, this was the reason for this outing.


True to Mr. Gupta’s word, we were extremely well taken care of. The service was great, their team was well-trained, and, of course, the place was beautiful. The food at Rosefinch Restaurant was amazing! From Indian to Continental, Veg to Non-veg, every dish was superb!
Needless to say, the people who, a few days back wouldn’t get along, were great colleagues from then on.


It was around a year after this event that I got a better offer from another place of work. Seeing as how one of my former duties was the above, I was asked by my superior if I could do this here as well. Without having to put too much effort, I thought why not do it at Mountain Trail again? The place was beautiful and familiar, the food and service were great, and the activities would be familiar to me as well.


Well, they managed to prove me wrong on the last point. Yes, we had an amazing time, and yes, nothing was lacking in any way, but it was a completely different experience. The activities, and the way we went around them, were completely different. It was like I was visiting for the first time!
After we got back to Delhi, I made it a point to call Mr. Gupta again, and casually enquired about this. His answer was amazing.


He explained (and I of course agreed) that every corporate team and every organization is different. The point is, he said, that the same exercise, the same methodology, won’t always necessarily work for everyone. It was like improving coordination between a troop of monkeys by having them climb trees, and, seeing the success, expecting the same method to work for a herd of deer.
I then realized the what made Mountain Trail Resort's corporate services stand out: custom, bespoke experiences for every different type of team, guaranteeing a unique experience every time!

Family Reunion

Our family has always been close, and once a year we make it a point to have a reunion of sorts. And we plan for a day or two when everyone can make it: Aunts, uncles, cousins, parents, grandparents, siblings, and all the spouses and kids who have joined our family through the years! Since most of us are in North India (Delhi and Gurgaon to be precise), we usually have it in a Himalayan hill station. Normally it happens to be Nainital. This year, a few of the kids wanted to go someplace different. To us adults, it doesn’t really matter because the company was what mattered. My brother and I were given the responsibility of planning it this year, and we decided to do a Himalayan hill station itself since it was logistically feasible for most of us, and all of us loved the weather in the mountains and the views are always a delight (provided the weather is clear of course). After asking around, we got the usual answers of “Nainital”, or “Ranikhet”, but we felt thes

My Mukteshwar Adventure

I had visited Mukteshwar last month with my family just as a short weekend trip. After a bit of online checking, we found that many had raved about the amazing food at Mountain Trail Resort , and the great scenery, as well as how beautiful the resort itself was. While we were there, my cousins decided to do the river- and valley-crossing adventure activities. Born and raised in the city, I’ve always been a bit nervous about adventure activities my whole life so I decided to opt out. However, thanks to peer pressure, and the fact that I didn’t want my cousins making fun of me, I reluctantly decided to give the Flying Fox a shot. Despite my misgivings about it, I really had a great time! The trained personnel ensured me that the best safety equipment was used (and even gave me a close look at the equipment), and seeing my cousins have a great time slowly put me at ease. When it was finally my turn, I stepped up and finally took the swing (with a little push to help).
