Employee Training Through Team Games


Corporate leads of today understand the need for training and grooming of their employees in order to keep them abreast with the latest technologies and norms of the fast paced industries that they are a part of. However, there is another training need that also needs to be given equal importance. This is the need for horning employees’ soft skills such as that of being a better team player, responsible leader, proactive employee and the like. 

Periodic training and development of employees not only result in their individual betterment but also contribute towards the company’s overall better performance. Therefore, it is not an option but a need for corporate teams to invest time and money into training their employees.

The corporate offsite programs too have taken an unconventional route in the present days, where the rigid structured training programs are being replaced by more casual, entertaining and effective programs.  Interactive team games have taken centre stage in these training programs which requires employees’ enthusiastic participation and involvement. 

Advantages of team games:

Fun and frolic: Team games always point in the direction of fun and entertainment. Boredom has no scope here, unlike in the case of lectures and seminars. Where the environment is friendly and fun, the participants are always enthused and stirred up to give their full attention to the training program.

Team building facilitators: Multiplayer games in any form, always bring the team members together since the goal of each player on the same team is the same and they focus their energy together on the same target, thereby involuntarily building their team spirit. And when the participants of these corporate team games are colleagues then the team spirit that is built while playing these games, is carried back to the work front and help in their performance at work.

Facilitate better understanding: Team games require participants to have a good understanding of each other’s skills, strengths and weaknesses. Teammates depend on each other in the course of the games and thereby get bonded with each other. Team games are a fun way of getting to know each other better and understanding each other well. This understanding ultimately reflects in their combined better performance at office. 

Team games have come a long way from being mere entertainers at team parties to being aids for training and development of the employees.  More and more corporate event management companies are including team games as an agenda in their corporate outing packages


Thrillophilia have handled several corporate team outings programs, with innovative and entertaining team games being a prime agenda in the itinerary. Reach us today to learn about our customizable adventure resort outings around Bangalore, corporate outings and many more packages.

Treks in Ramnagar


Amongst the favorite adventure sports amongst adventure enthusiasts, not just in India, but the worlkd over, is trekking. Trekking involves walking long distances, exploring along the way through challenging, unfamiliar grounds. From simple walks through grasslands, plantations and fields, to exciting hike through a rugged path amidst magnificent forests and rocky hillocks the options for trekking are limitless. There are lots of interesting trails for trekking around Bangalore.



Preparation required for trekking: As no special training or equipments are required for trekking, the preparation for this activity is relatively simpler as compared to other adventure sports. However, depending on the duration of the trek the requirements vary. 

Checking on the weather condition prior to starting the trek is vital in planning and preparation.

Weather Condition: The best conditions for trekking would be mild temperature, with no rain predicted. Extremes of temperature, humidity, heavy winds, downpour, stormy conditions, pose as hurdles in trekking.

Trekking at Ramnagar: Known as the land of seven hills, Ramanagaram is one of the favorite spots for trekking near Bangalore, and is situated 48 m away from the city. Ramdevara Betta region of this town was where the famous Bollywood movie, Sholay was filmed.  There are 4 hills linked together along with the Ramdevara betta. It is the main hill that is usually preferred since the others are too risky to climb. The average elevation of Ramnagar is 2450 feet making at a dream destination for mountaineers and trekkers.

Adventure at Ramnagar: Thanks to its natural rocky terrain, this place is popular for a host of adventure activities making it one of the frequented destinations for adventure sports in Bangalore.  Ramnagar has many rocky mountains made of lime and granite stones suitable for Rock climbing and bouldering activities. Other attractions here are rappelling, which is climbing down a high elevation while being harnessed on ropes and chimney-climbing, an extreme rock adventure sport where the participant is required to climb through the rocky crevices and between close lying rocks, while being harnessed to protective gear are the usual adventure sports that are enjoyed here by several adventure enthusiasts.

The high elevation, at which Ramanagaram is situated, at about 747 meters, makes it for an ideal destination for such sports. Trekking here is an adventure sport by itself, since it would involve climbing over rocks and hills. Usually, trekkers club trekking with the adventure sports mentioned above while on a trip to Ramanagaram. 

Experience the thrill of making your way down a steep hill of height of 120ft, fly like a bird by ziplining from one hill to another.

My Travel Experience with Thrillophilia – Bheemeshwari


It was probably about three months back when I decided I needed a break and decided to head for an adventure holiday along with a bunch of friends. I was not sure of where to head and what really to do, all I wanted was to just chill out for a couple of days far away from the maddening crowd, get some adrenaline rush and head back totally rejuvenated. It was then that one of my friends mentioned about this memorable adventure team outing that he had been to, about a year back, along with his office mates. His words of praise for the event managers made me too want to get in touch with them to make our little holiday a truly memorable one. 

The moment I got in touch with Thrillophilia Adventure Tours and discussed with them on my holiday package, I knew I had an awesome trip to look forward to! They helped me decide on a place to suit my specifications. Bheemeshwari it was. 



Finally the D-day arrived and we were picked up by the trainer from Thrillophilia, from the decided upon picking point and we headed to our destination. Adventure Bheemeshwari begins!  The two hours journey from Bangalore to Bheemeshwari was full of frolic and really pumped us all up for the adventures that lay ahead of us.

Upon reaching destination, we were guided into out resorts. Oh man! Was it enchanting?! Artistically built, bamboo lodges surrounded by sweet smelling plants with vibrantly colored flowers. We took a minute to admire these finer details before we checked in, freshened up and headed towards our first adventure activity of the day, white water rafting.

 
I was told Bheemeshwari is the best place in Karnataka for white water rafting. The shimmering sun peaking through the canopied trees over our heads, as we walked towards the starting point for the rafting activity. The banks of River Cauvery, which greeted us with glitters as if studded with a million diamonds was where our rafting expedition started. 

Geared up in the rented rafting clothes, we bundled up into the raft, brimming with excitement and eagerness. The waterway took us through a splendid route between the lush green forests inhabited by lovely wildlife, doubling our rafting trip as a safari of sorts. The rushing water, bumping against rocks and boulder, jumping to create rapids, made our rafting trip super fun. Our screams of delights merged with the frequent cries of wildlife from the dense vegetation all around us. 



Finally, by early afternoon, we headed back to our rooms to relax a bit. We had lunch and then headed straight back into the wilderness for a trek into the wild. Walking amidst nature at its best is truly a captivating experience. No words of appreciation can completely do justice to the charming beauty of the place.  Just as we were thinking our trip had been the best it can, our friendly tour guide asks to halt and briefs us about our next adventure team building activity. He actually made us feel like we grew wings, as we indulged jummarring right in the midst of the dense jungle! It was the most exhilarating experience in our lives and we enjoyed every bit of it. 

Finally, as night fell, we made our way back to our rooms for a good night’s sleep. By early next morning, after a scrumptious breakfast at the resort, we headed back home hearts filled with satisfaction and beautiful memories, and minds refueled and recharged to go on with life again!
