Last to last weekend on 14th May’11, some of the folks from office decided to trek the Lohgad fort.<\/a>It\u00a0is one of the many hill forts\u00a0of\u00a0Chatrapati Shivaji<\/a> and\u00a0situated 52\u00a0km from Pune <\/span>in western India.<\/span><\/div>\n

We decided to start at 4:30 AM from\u00a0our office, so that we can see the sunrise there and can return back before noon.We all met our office and we started around 5:00 AM, which is not bad.We reached at Malwali station at 6:20 AM and had tea and Vada-Pav.<\/div>\n
\n
At 6:45 AM we satrted to trek. Some of us were doing the trek for the first\u00a0time and just after trekking for less than a Kilometer, they started to\u00a0scream .. How much more ??? \u00a0I am tired……. etc. But don’t worry no one gave up and we continued. We even had a race. Before this I\u00a0trekked\u00a02-3 times, long back.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
We reached to the top for the fort at 8AM. The air was so pure that you can feel the\u00a0difference while breathing. Then we all visited the point called Scorpian Tail\u00a0and before retuning back to the fort we visited a Dargah. It was around 11 AM\u00a0by then. While coming down we brought down few raw mangos from the mango tree\u00a0using rock pieces. One of the group came down quickly and decided to visit the\u00a0Bhaja caves<\/a> as well. I was left behind as I was accompanying one of our\u00a0team member who was very tired, so decided to dropped the idea for visit Bhaja\u00a0caves <\/a>this time.<\/div>\n

And the last weekend I\u00a0persuaded\u00a0my wife and friends to visit the Bhaja Caves<\/a>.We went to Sunday, 22nd May’11. Earlier we thought to go in morning but that doesn’t\u00a0work out, so went in the evening. We started from my home at around 5:30 PM. \u00a0This time I went on my Bike.<\/div>\n

We reached there at 6:30 PM and we were at caves 15 minutes later. Bhaja caves\u00a0are group of 22 rock-cut caves. It is one to the important Buddhist centres of\u00a0Hinayana faith in Maharashtra<\/a>. We came down around 7:30 had had pesal tea<\/em>(special tea), which\u00a0was expensive but not very pesal<\/em>. While returning we had dinner at Toni Da Dabha <\/em> and came back at 11 PM.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Both were nice trips but I enjoyed the second one most as I was with my wife and\u00a0close friends. Also on the bike you can enjoy the view more.\u00a0In\u00a0monsoon\u00a0, area around Lohgad would be much more beautiful. I will try to visit it\u00a0again in this year only.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
