Ultimate Birdwatching and Photography !!

About the Tour :

Bhigwan is a small dusty town on the border of Pune and Solapur district in Central Maharashtra, in India. Bhigwan is located on the Pune-Solapur Highway. South of Bhigwan town, exists a widespread backwater formed due to a man made dam built on the Bhima river. The dam is called as Ujni dam. The backwaters is spread over a wide region and is mainly a shallow waste water reserve. There are two areas where one can see the migratory water birds. 1) Diksal-Parewadi area and 2) Dalaj – Kumbharwadi area. The semi-waste water in this Ujni dam backwater area has built very good wetland based ecosystem and helped agriculture also. The rainfall in Pune region decides the water level in Ujani dam. March is the best season to visit Bhigwan as by that time most of the migratory birds arrive and settle down.

One can expect various types of Ducks, Herons, Egrets, Raptors and Waders along with flocks of hundreds of flamingos. The huge quantity of birds at Bhigwan increases the chance of sighting almost all the prime bird species there and also creates great photographic opportunities for wildlife photographers. The best part of these outings is that we are also including the famous Mayureshwar Wildlife Sanctuary in our itinerary. Its a small patch of forest at Supa village, also known as Supa Grasslands and is a great place to observe and photograph the Indian Gazelles.

Explore Capital of Swarajya

About the Tour : 

Raigad is a hill fortress situated in the modern day near Mahad, Raigad district of Maharashtra, India. The Maratha king Shivaji Maharaj made the fort his capital in 1674 when he was crowned King of a Maratha Kingdom which later developed into the Maratha Empire eventually covering majority of modern day India. The fort, which rises 820 metres (2,700 ft) above sea level, is located in the Sahyadri mountain range. There are approximately 1400–1450 steps leading to the fort, though today a rope-way exists to reach the top of the fort. The fort was looted and destroyed by the British upon siege.

About the Tour : 

Sandhan valley is one of the greatest canyons in the Sahyadri mountain ranges. It is a very good combination of a canyon and a valley. Located in the Nagar district, near the famous fort Ratangad, Sandhan valley is undoubtedly The Valley of Suspense. Walking through the narrow streak of valley with 300 ft rock walls on both the sides is a lifetime experience. Exploring Sandhan valley is always a memorable outing and the Konkankada visit is a sweet cherry on the cake !!

Theme :Since we started our journey of MUMBAI TRAVELLERS, women’s ratios in all our events have been always more than 50%. Women’s of all the age group are travelling with us regularly as well as comfortably.

To encourage and support this spirit, we at Mumbai Travellers welcome all the Female Travellers to join us for the Women’s Day Special Trek to Sandhan Valley. This trek is only for females, and shall be executed by our female leaders and coordinators.

About Velas:

Velas is a small coastal village in Rathnagiri District of Maharashtra. Olive Ridleys are the smallest of the sea turtles and they got their name because of their olive coloured shells. Though these are the most abundant species of turtles in any ocean, they are yet classified as endangered species. Often people kill these turtles for their shells, meat and mostly for the eggs. People belonging to the shores where these turtles hatch their eggs, call the phenomenon as “Arribada”.

Velas is also known for the birth place of Nana Phadnavis, a great Indian diplomat.

Bankot Sea Fort :

Bankot stands at the mouth of Bankot creek, where Savitri river (originating from Mahabaleshwar) meets the Arabian Sea. Bankot creek was a major sea trade route, and the ancient caves of Dasgaon and Mandangad are the evidence of the same. Bankot fort is also known as Himmatgad & Victoria Fort.

 Harihareshwar:

Surrounded by four holy hills Harihar, Harshinachal, Bramhadri and Pushpadri Harihareshwar is a region in Konkan which is amazingly beautiful with hills playing the perfect foil for long stretch of pristine beach.

Hi Mates, Bringing you another Amazing Summar Escape Experience of Rural Kanatal, Queen of Hills – Massoorie & Camping at Tehri from 21st May 2015 till 26th May 2015.

Kanatal - is a little town, , relatively unknown to the outside world,  built around numerous hills, a locale which personifies the romantic aura of Tehri District, Uttarakhand, State. 

With a spectacular view of the snow-covered hills and the green forests, Kanatal is a mesmerizing experience of Rural life of Uttarakhand.

Known for its mesmerizing beauty, beautiful sights, verdant forests, invigorating winds and tranquil weather, Kanatal presents a perfect summer getaway.

 Kanatal provides the perfect retreat from the hassles of daily life - a perfect place to have a word with nature in its purest form. A perfect Summer Gateway. 

Few Highlights of this Tour are -

• Old built Cottage or Luxury Tent Stay

Chamba - About 16 km from Kanatal is the hamlet of Chamba, Uttarakhand. Chamba is untouched and untamed by the vices of urbanization and commercialization. About 1600 meters above the sea level, this place is more quite than Mussoorie and offers an opportunity to relax and rejuvenate.

About the Tour :

Naneghat is a mountain pass in the Western Ghats range near Junnar in Pune district of Maharashtra, India. The pass was extensively used as a trade route between Kalyan and Junnar. This was the most important trade route, as it connected harbour of Sopara and Kalyan directly to Junnar and Paithan. The name nane means “coin” and ghat means “pass”.The name is given because this path was used as a tollbooth to collect toll from traders crossing the hills. While going through Malshej Ghat, we can easily get a glimpse of Naneghat after Murbad. The significantly shaped thumb-like peak and the pinnacle of Vandarlingi are the most distinctly seen spots.

Harishchandragad Fort is famous for its height, its toughness and the famous 'Konkan Kada'. Harishchandra Temple is known to be the pride of the fort. Sant Changdev stayed here for some time and completed his manuscript - 'Tatwasaar'. The Nandi and Shivling in the temple are breathtaking. A cave nearby is always full of very cold water. Harishchandragad Fort is situated in Junnar region near Malshej Ghat. The fort is very popular to trekkers and nature lovers as it is one of the best forts to trek. Konkan Kada is a challenge for trekkers as it is at a height of 3,500 feet. Rohidas, Taramati and Harishchandra are the three peaks in Harishchandragad.
Places to See on Fort:
Saptatirtha Pushkarni To the east of the temple is a well-built lake called “Saptatirtha”.
Kedareshwar Cave. Kedareshwar Cave going rightwards of Harishchandreshwar temple, in which there is a five feet big Shivlinga, which is totally surrounded by ice cold,& waist deep water.
Konkan Kada (Konkan cliff) one can have a breathtaking view of the surrounding region and the setting sun. This cliff is not just vertical, it is an overhang, Sometimes a circular rainbow (the Brocken spectre phenomenon) can be seen from this point.
Taramati peak This is the topmost point on the fort (1429 meters).
Caves on Harishchandragad These caves are situated all over the fort. Many of these are situated at the foot of Taramati peak & are the place of accommodation. A few are near the temple, whereas some are near the citadel and some far away in the forests.
Nageshwar temple near Khireshwar This is a great antique construction, and diverse artistic works are seen on this. On the ceiling of the temple are beautiful carvings. The main attraction of the carvings here is the 1.5 m long sculpture of "sheshshayi Vishnu" in Marathi in the sleeping posture,
Temple of Harishchandreshwar This temple is marvelous example of the fine art of carving sculptures out of stones that prevailed in ancient India. It is about 16 m high from its base. Around this temple there a few caves & ancient water tanks. The river Mangal Ganga is said to originate from one of the tanks located close to the temple. The fascinating thing about this temple is that it has been carved out from a single huge rock. There are entrances from all four sides. On the main entrance there are sculptures of faces.
