Independence Day Trek to Harihar fort With Mumbairangers on 15 Aug 2015 Leaving 14 Aug Friday Night Posted: 04 Aug 2015 09:20 PM PDT Dear Friends we invite you all for Independence Day Trek to Harihar fort With Mumbairangers on 15 Aug 2015 Leaving 14 Aug Friday Night Type : Hill fortsFort Range : TrimbakeshwarDistrict : NashikEndurance : EasyDifficulty : MediumHeight : 3676 ftTrek Leader: Nitin Kambli Harihar, also called Harish Fort, is 6.43 km west of Trimbak and 1,120.44 metres (3,676 feet) above sea-level. The trek to Harihar Fort is short yet tiring.The last 200 feet of the hike is a nerve-racking climb through steep rock cut stairs inclined at 80 degrees. The descent is particularly exhilarating as youhave to climb down and at one point face a sheer 500 ft drop. The architecture of the stairs is so diverse and outstanding and offers spectacular and occasionally scary views of the valley below. The fort is situated amidst the huge Vaitarna dam and the Trimbakeshwar mountain ranges offer stunning views of the area around. It was of substantial importance in earlier days to keep watch on the route crossing the range connecting Maharashtra to Gujarat. Trimbakeshwar range spreads from north of Igatpuri to west of Nasik. It is divided in two parts, with forts of Basgad, Utvad, hill of Fani, Harihar and Trimbakgad on one part and those of Anjaneri and Hargad on the other.The water flows away from this region because of the one – sided slope of Sahyadris. The fort appears to be rectangular in shape from its base village and is located on top of a triangular massif with all the three sides being vertical and hence naturally fortified. There is only one access to the fort through a 200ft high rock cut staircase inclined at an 80 degree angle. It was one of the forts in the possession of the Ahemadnagar Sultans. Captain Briggs from the British army visited the fort in 1818, and left a fairly detailed description. He described the ascent as truly wonderful.In 1636 Harihar, Trimbakgad, Tringalvadi and a few other Poona forts were given by the Marathas to the Mughals. Hariharwas one of the seventeen str...

'Kalsubai' temple is located at the top most peak of Sahyadri mountain range of Maharastra. The main route starts from the village of Bariwhich is about six km from Bhandardara. The main route to the temple is at small climbing slope . It usually takes three hours to reach the top from Bari.There small huts in this area who could be very helpful in case of any emergency. There are three iron ladders along this route. There is a well near thelast iron ladder as one approaches the top but the water is not potable during the summer.

About: Rajmachi (Udhewadi) is a small village in the rugged mountains of Sahyadri in India. The fortification at Rajmachi consists of two forts , namely Shrivardhan fort and Manaranjan Fort.Rajmachi fort was a strategic fort to control Borghat(ghat between Khopoli and Khandala on Mumbai-Pune route) which was a historical trade route. Kondana caves in Karjat are a group of 16 Buddhist caves, located 33 km north of Lonavala . Records suggest that these caves were excavated sometime during the 1st century BC. The Chaitya or the prayer hall has one inscription which gives information about the donors. One can reach the cave by climbing down from the Rajmachi village.  These are rock-cut Buddhist caves with a stupa, chaitya, vihara, and sculptures. It is believed that during an earthquake in the early 1900s, much of the front, floor and stupa were damaged. This left the pillars in the chaitya suspended like huge stalactites from the ceiling trek plan Mumbai - Pune Indrayani Express schedule:- # Code Station Distance Arr.

Trek to Harishchandragad via Pachnai on 15th and 16th August 2015 with Vibes Outdoors Posted: 06 Aug 2015 12:18 AM PDT Hello Vibers,We are glad to invite you for trek to Harishchandragad via Pachnai on 15th and 16th August 2015. Harishchandragad-The fort is quite ancient. Remnants of Microlithic man have been discovered here. The various Puranas (ancient scriptures) like Matsyapurana, Agnipurana and Skandapurana include many references about Harishchandragad. Its origin is said to have been in 6th century, during the rule of Kalchuri dynasty. The citadel was built during this era. The various caves probably have been carved out in the 11th century. In these caves are idols of Lord Vishnu. Though the cliffs are named Taramati and Rohidas, they are not related to Ayodhya. Great sage Changdev (one who created the epic "Tatvasaar"), used to meditate here in 14th century. The caves are from the same period. The various constructions on the fort and those existing the surrounding region point to the existence of diverse cultures here.

Remnants of Microlithic man have been discovered here. The various Puranas (ancient scriptures) like Matsyapurana, Agnipurana and Skandapurana include many references about Harishchandragad. Its origin is said to have been in 6th century, during the rule of Kalchuri dynasty. The citadel was built during this era. The various caves probably have been carved out in the 11th century. In these caves are idols of Lord Vishnu. Though the cliffs are named Taramati and Rohidas, they are not related to Ayodhya. Great sage Changdev (one who created the epic "Tatvasaar"), used to meditate here in 14th century. The caves are from the same period. The various constructions on the fort and those existing the surrounding region point to the existence of diverse cultures here.

Little Rann of Kutch (LRK) Photography Tour on 7-10 Jan, 2016 with My Mera India Posted: 05 Aug 2015 11:14 AM PDT Little Rann of Kutch or little desert of Kutch is a salt marsh located near the Great Rann of Kutch in Kutch district, Gujarat, India.Some places in the world are known for lush greenery, others for steep cliffs and snowy glaciers and others still for refreshing water lapping against hot beaches. But of all the landscapes in the world, harsh deserts are perhaps the one that fewest people have experienced. Believing it to be not as pleasant as other landscapes, many people miss out on the tremendous beauty found in deserts. Precisely because there are very few people, visiting deserts like the Little Rann of Kutch which gives a traveler the chance to ponder a world before there were so many of us around. After hours blanketed by the deep silences that fall on the salt flats in the middle of the day, when the only sound is the wind scraping along the sand, can you appreciate the sounds that emerge in the evening, the birds singing, insects chirping and the scuffle of small animals rustling in the brush. Looking out at the unending flats do you appreciate the greenery and rich wildlife that congregates on the beyts or islands that rise up out of the Rann. And getting to know the desert do you begin to understand a secret, that the beauty of life lies hidden in even the most seemingly desolate of places.The Wild Ass Sanctuary of the Little Rann of Kutch, spreading across nearly 5000 square kilometers of the Little Rann, is the only place on earth where the endangered Indian Wild Ass (Equus hemionus khur), known locally as the ghudkhar, still lives. The sanctuary was set up in 1973 to protect the endangered wild ass. These creatures look like a cross between a donkey and a horse. They're slightly bigger than a donkey, and are fast and strong like a horse.The only other two subspecies of wild asses live in the high arid plateaus of Tibet, making this the most accessible place to visit wild asses in their natural environs. Standing more than a meter tall at the shoulder an... Read more

CHANDERI FORT Posted: 08 Aug 2015 04:30 PM PDT TREK SHEET: Fort Height: 2330 ft. Type : Hill forts Fort Range : Matheran District : Thane Grade : Hard ABOUT: On the way from Kalyan to Karjat on the Bombay-Pune rail-route, lies a mountain range. Seen towering high over the rest of the range is a plateau, which is Chanderi. Lying between Badlapur and Vangani railway stations on the Badlapur to Karjat road is a village called Goregaon. From here starts the path that leads us to Chanderi. Chanderi is one amongst illustrious forts like Karnala, Prabalgad, Irshalgad, Manikgad, Peb, Matheran lying in the mountain ranges of Nakhind, Chanderi, Mhasmaal, etc. History : Although worth mentioning as the jewel in the crown of forts in the district of Raigad, there is no significant history attached to this fort. Near the caves on the fort are visible some remnants of fortification. This is the only sign to designate Chanderi as a fort. In May 1656, Shivaji Maharaj conquered all territory up to Kalyan-Bhiwandi-Rairi. This was when this fort came under the rule of the Marathas. Lack of development, low water storage areas, absence of significant constructions, limited facilities for people to stay and extremely difficult approach road seem to suggest that rather than a fort, this was possibly a military base. Fascinating Spots : A desecrated idol of lord Shiva can be seen inside the cave. Very near to the cave is a reservoir of potable water. However, water is available only till the month of October. The cave can comfortably accommodate 8 to 10 people at a time. Another reservoir of water is situated at the base of the pinnacle near the cave. The area on the top of the fort is not too much to wander. Due to landslide, reaching the top of the pinnacle has become extremely difficult. To the east of the fort, one can see Matheran, Peb, Prabalgad range, etc. while to the west, can be seen forts like Bhimashankar, Siddhagad, Gorakhgad, Peth, etc. The area at the foothills of Chanderi is very alluringly enchanting in the monsoons. Many trekkers travel here to enjoy the waterfalls. Fees ₹ 1500/- per head which includes, Travelling (Private Bus), Games & Gifts, Breakfast, Lunch (Veg.), Hi- Tea Expertise charges, Payment details: One needs to pay the full amount as advance at the time of booking. Pls make payment to given account: Current A/c-121805000243 Name: Altitude Quest Adventure LLP Bank: ICICI Bank IFSC Code:- ICIC0001218 Branch: Gorai Note: While making payment pls mention trip name in remark option.

Cost : Aprx 1400 - 1600 rs Per Person On Contribution Basis + 200 rs trekगुरु charges. Contact : Pravin 9821318848/9821465256 ---------- Reasons To Visit :  Bhandardara (3000 ft) is a hill station and a weekend getaway 180 kms from Mumbai and Pune and about 80 kms from Nashik. Bhandardara is set on a dam and is known for its remote and idyllic location, waterfalls around the area (June - Oct) and boating in the lake. Bhandardara is a base point for many treks in the area (most notable Kalsubai peak & Harishchandragad). ---------- Some info - Vihi Waterfall :  Vihi Waterfall Near Vihigaon, Kasara. It is also known as Ashoka waterfall. Vihigaon waterfall just 12 km from kasara. Vihigaon waterfall are located in deep forest. The waterfall is amazing . The place is an ideal spot for rappelling.

Pearl Trek and Tours : One Day Monsoon Trek to Kamandurg on 30 August 2015. Posted: 06 Aug 2015 11:56 AM PDT                    ONE DAY MONSOON TREK TO KAMANDURG ON 30 AUGUST 2015   Brief : Type: Hill Fort. Region: Thane. Height: 2140 ft (aprx.) Grade: Medium. Base Village: Devkundi.     Dome shaped peak near Tungareshwar, Kamandurg is rarely visited or known to Mumbaikars for that matter even the trekkers. The trail passes through very dense forest and seems like a marvel that the place is so close to Mumbai. The place is an ecstasy in the monsoon which is the best time to visit the Western Ghats. The fort does not have any fortification although the signs are existent in the surroundings. Small water tank dug out in the rock are present on the western side of the summit. The summit provides beautiful views of Vasai creek and the surrounding areas. Islands covered with mangroves and salt pans near the creek can also be seen from the summit. Tungareshwar hills also add to the beautiful scenery around the fort. The summit as it is seen from ground is not one single peak but two peaks separated by one small col. The round shape of the summit gives one an impression of volcano.   The itinerary for the Trek is as given below: Catch Churchgate Virar Train as Follows : Churchgate          : 06:21 am Mumbai Central   : 06:31 am Dadar                   : 06:38 am Bandra                 : 06:43 am Andheri                : 06:51 am Boivili                   : 07:06 am Dahisar                 : 07:10 am Mira Road             : 07:15 am Bhayandar            : 07:20 am Naigaon                :07:26 am Meeting Point  : Naigaon  Station by 07:30 am. 07:45 am : Move to base villages Devkhundi by tum tum. 0815 am :  Breakfast at base Villages. 09:00 am:   Introduction Round and Start Trek. 12:00 pm :  Reach the top,Explore the Fort, Lunch & Relax 01:00 pm : Start Descend 04:00 pm  : Reach  Base village.

Pearl Trek and Tours : One Day Trek to Monsoon Trek to Mahuli on 29 August 2015 Posted: 06 Aug 2015 11:48 AM PDT                       ONE DAY MONSOON TREK TO MAHULI ON 29 AUGUST 2015           Brief : Height: 2,815 feet Grade: Medium Time: ~ 2.5 hrs from Mahuli, Base Village Location / District : Asangaon, Thane District. About Mahuli Fort:             The creator of this fort is unknown. In 1485 this place came under rule of Malik Ahmed who was the founder of Nijamshahi. When Shahaji Raje became the secretary of Nijamshahi, Adilshahi and Mughals of Delhi together tried to end Nijamshahi. In the year 1635-36, in difficult circumstances Shahaji Raje transferred himself with Jijabai and Shivaji to Mahuli. Khan Jaman, son of Mahabat Khan beleaguered this fort. Shahaji Raje asked for help to Portuguese. They refused and Shahaji Raje surrendered himself. Shivaji took this fort from Mughals on 8 Jan 1658. In 1661 it was given back and was won again by Shivrai. In treaty of Purandar, in 1665, Marathas lost these forts again. The Moghal sardar Manohardas Gaud was the in charge of this fort. He did much construction on the fort. In Feb 1670, Shivaji Maharaj tried to conquer Mahuli, but failed. Thousand of Marathas were killed by Moghals. It was a bad blow to Marathas. Even after this victory, Manohardas Gaud, the chief of the fort gave up his position and a new chief Alveerdi Beg was appointed. On 16 June 1670, after two months, Moropant Pingle conquered the forts and Mahuli, Bhandargad and Palasgad became part of Swarajya. Mahuli Fort At 2815 ft, this is a popular trekking destination and a paradise for rock-climbers because of many nearby pinnacles with interesting names like Vazir, Vishnu, etc, given by the local trekking and climbing fraternity. This mountain complex is actually a group of two or more hills with common cols and pinnacles. It is the highest point in the Thane district. The forest surrounding Mahuli has been declared as a sanctuary. Once Shahaji Raje, father of Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, had this fortress under his belt.  Itineary of the Trek : Take the Slow Loc...

Pearl Trek and Tours : One Day Monsoon Trek to Harihar Fort on 22 August 2015 Posted: 06 Aug 2015 02:25 AM PDT 0NE DAY MONSOON TREK TO HARIHAR FORT ON 22 AUGUST 2015 Brief :  Height: 3676 ft  Region: Igatpuri  Place: Harihar fort  Region : Igatpuri  Grade: Medium    Detail about fort: -  Harihar fort appears to be rectangular in shape from its base village. It is built on a triangular prism of rock. Its three faces and two edges are absolutely vertical (90 degrees). The third edge towards the west is inclined at an angle of 75 degrees. A one metre wide rocky staircase with niches in it is carved out for ascending & descending the fort. There are 117 steps in all. After you climb the first rocky staircase (main entrance) we walk thru below a overhang with a sheer drop. Again one has to climb a set of steep stairs (with niches), then pass thru a staircase inside the rock (like Peth-kothligad fort) and then reach the top of the fort. The view from the top is excellent. After climbing these steps, we get up to the entrance door. The fort has got a tapering plateau with a raised level in the middle. There is a small temple of Lord Hanuman and Lord Shiva on the plateau. A small pond is there in front of this temple. Water from this pond can be used for drinking. Making headway from here we come across a palace having two rooms in it. 10 to 12 persons can be accommodated in this palace. One of the vertical drops of the fort facing the Nirgudpada village is called 'Scottish kada', perhaps because it was climbed for the first time in November 1986 by Doug Scott, the legendary Himalayan mountaineer & took him two days to do the climb. This cliff is about 170 meters in height.  Itinerary of trek: - 22 August 2015  Saturday : -  Catch  00:10 am CST-Kasara Slow Local.

Then these forts were under the Maratha regime for a long time · Around 1713 the Navy Chief Khanoji Angre held Ghangad and handed it over to Shahu Maharaj on 28th Feb 1714 as per a treaty. · Shahu Maharaj then gave the possession of this fort to Balaji Vishwanath Peshwe. · In the later rules of the Peshwe rule, Ghangad was turned into a prison, housing political as well as social criminals. · On 17th March 1818, Ghangad was taken away from the Peshwas by Lt. Colonel Prother of the british army without any resistance. Height : 3000 feet approx.
