Ulysses 360 Degrees

All the adventure quests organized by the Ulysses will demand active participation of the intended trekkers, who will be assigned with the specific job which will have to be meticulously carried out. For this each member (of the trekking group) will be designated with a post and the others will have to abide by him/her on his/her field. In this way a democratic format will always be maintained. The hierarchy of the posts will be something like this: Leader, Camp commandant, Navigator, L.O. (Liaison Officer) & interpreter, Equipment in charge, Quarter master, R.O. (Rationing Officer), Reporter and Official photographer etc.
