Sabaigad is an easy grade trek with no technical difficulty. I had participated in this trek along with my young daughter. Chakram leaders had planned the entire day well, including food and transport. They also ensured that the group stayed together and there was no confusion related to the route. Thank you to Rajashri, Aditya and Nikhil for their leadership and all the participants for making this a memorable outing.
