Enjoying life, Seeking adventures

Gorakhgadh Peak Gorakhgadh lies near the Dehri village in the Murbad tehsil, Thane district. Gorakhgadh is a moderately tough trek in terms of terrain as well adventure. We did this trek in in early months of this year. Also, if this trek is done in night it becomes even more challenging due to the rocky trail and boulders on the trail at many places. All the pics in the blog are mostly during the return trail when there was day light. We did this trek with Travel Buffs and our group was around 10-12 people big. Everyone assembled at Kalyan station. From here we were supposed to take a bus to Murbad but seeing the super overcrowded bus stand, no one could summon the courage to even try to attempt to get on that bus. Since we missed the 11:00 pm bus and the next bus was not soon enough, we decided to take a private jeep. From Kalyan station we went to Murbad. Here we changed Jeeps to reach the Dehri village which is the base village for the Gorakhgadh Trek. Starting point - T...

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 . This was our third trek with this group and we enjoyed every bit like last two times. The trek started by everyone assembling at Kasara station around 9:30 am. from there we took two jeeps to base village of Talawadi. We had breakfast on the way to Talawadi. Tringalwadi Lake Half of the distance to the base village is via a highway so it was pretty smoo...

PEB Fort We are back again with a new trekking experience. This time it was PEB Fort, also known as Vikatgad. We have been planning to go on this trek ever since we completed Prabalgad, as you can see it from Prabalgad. Some of our friends, who had done this trek before, advised us to go with a group, as one can get a little lost on the trek for first time. Hence, once again we booked our trek via Trek Mates India (TMI). It cost us 550 INR per person. This trek started on 7th night and finished on 8th morning. At Neral Station Our meeting point was Neral Station, around 1:30 am in the morning. We boarded the last fast local (CST to Karjat) from the Ghatkopar station. The train was a bit late and we met few other members of the trekking group. The train was supposed to arrive at 11:42 but we boarded the train after 12 in the midnight. Unfortunately, there was another unscheduled halt before Thane for around 20-25 minutes which further delayed us. We reached Neral Station a ...
