About Hill Skippers

We are a normal couple like many other couples working in the corporate culture with arduous working hours. We are friends, couple, partners in crime for any and all activities that add thrill and enjoyment in life. Initially, we used to have a fixed routine - wake up, go to office, go to gym in evening, go to malls on weekends, watch all the movies etc. Obviously, we got bored of the routine in no time and that when we decided to bring variety to our life. We made it a mission to enjoy the life to the fullest, amidst the busy working culture of metropolitan city - Mumbai. Hence, we started looking for options. For past few years we have been trying our hand at various hobbies and activities. We have created this blog for all the other people out there, like us, who also want to add a spark to their lives and need information of trekking, hiking, swimming, skating, art and craft, nail art etc. We will try to provide the most realistic and accurate information in a fun manner and hope it helps everyone. The blog will not be limited to one activity or sport. Whatever we will try, you will know. Its out attempt to share our experience. Please get in touch if you are interested in any of our activity and wish to join or need information. Refer to the email ID at the end.

With Love - Babli & Arunesh

Tringalwadi Fort Trek

Tringalwadi Fort So we are back with a new treklog after a long break. Some previous ones are also pending which I will be sharing later this month. This trek was to the beautiful hills hosting the ruins of Tringalwadi Fort. It is considered to be a 10th century fort built to monitor trade routes to present day Nashik. In terms natural beauty it was outstanding, specially because of the rainy weather and all the cloudy atmosphere. From the perspective of difficulty level the trek was very easy, though made a little bit dangerous because of rain. Breakfast en route We did this trek with trekking group Travel Buffs .
