TMI: One Day Trek to Fort Tringalwadi on Saturday, 15th August 2015.

Posted: 09 Aug 2015 12:32 AM PDT

We at Trek Mates India Invites all for a One Day Trek to Tringalwadi on Saturday, 15th August 2015.

Little info about the fort 

Type: Hill Fort
Height: 3283 Feet above MSL (Approx)
Grade: Easy

Endurance: Medium

Base Village: Tringalwadi

The exact period of construction of this fort is not known, however, by virtue of ‘Jain caves’ near the foothills, one can roughly estimate the fort to be in existence since 10th century. Also there is no evidence regarding the period during which it was under control of Marathas, however, during the year 1688; Mughals took control over the fort by perfidy.

On the Top from the devastated castle leads us further ahead to the secret doorway of the fort after taking a right turn from the same path, one has to climb down to reach this door. Further down step one can notice the door being carved within a single sheet of rock. On its right hand side one can see a statue of Lord Hanuman, about 6-7 feet high. A carved step on the mountain ahead leads to the top of the fort.
A beautiful Goddess Temple makes it picture perfect.

TMI: Trek to Chanderi on 18th August 2015

Posted: 09 Aug 2015 12:19 AM PDT

Hi Mates, we at Trek Mates India are glad to invite you for a One day Monsoon Trek to Chanderi via Vangani on 18th August 2015

Trek Details:
Type: Hill Fort
Height: 2330 Feet above MSL (Approx)
Grade: Medium
District: Raigad
Range:  Matheran
Base Village: Vangani

Chanderi is an ancient army fort situated near Vangani (Kalyan).

There are not much remnants on the top except few water tanks and shatters stones

  

The view from the top is really alluring; one can observe Karnala, Prabalgad, Irshalgad, Manikgad, Peb, Matheran, Nakhind, Navra navri, Tavli etc from the top.

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.

The tentative itinerary for the Trek is as given below:

Meeting Point Vangani Railway Station in Vangani East at 07:40 am

Breakfast
Travel till base village by Auto/Private vehicle

Trek till top in 3hrs

Lunch,

TreksandTrails India - One day monsoon trek chota Mahuli on 16 August 2015 Posted: 10 Aug 2015 03:22 AM PDT TreksandTrails India - One day monsoon trek chota Mahuli on 16 August 2015 Summary: Time: 2.30 hrs from base village Height: 2815ft Grade: Medium Range: Shahapur  District: Thane Contribution: Rs 450 per person. About A good one day Trek near Mumbai, Mahuli is at 2815ft above sea level. It is the highest point in Thane district. A popular trekking choice and a paradise for rock-climbers because of its pinnacles. This mountain complex is actually a group of two or more hills with common cold and pinnacles. The forest surrounding Mahuli has been declared as a sanctuary. The fort has been declared as a protected monument by the Archaeology Survey of India. The huge Mahuli hill can be seen right in front with the three connecting forts on its top. The leftmost fort is Mahuli- Chenderi/Bhandargad. The central one is Mahuli and the leftmost is chota Mahuli. Between the Bhandargad and Mahuli are the famous pinnacles Navra, Narvi and Karavli. One Day Trek to Mahuli can be done if the plan is to go till chota Mahuli. However covering the entire hill including the pinnacles will require you spend a night in the caves. The caves can accommodate approx 12 persons. A trek on the plateau for 45 minutes from chota Mahuli. Then rock climbing a patch of 20 ft approx, only to climb another iron ladder. Then trek for 25 mins (one way) will get you to clear superb view of the 3 pinnacles.

#SDA One Day Bike Expedition and Trek to Sudhagad 15th Aug 2015 Posted: 11 Aug 2015 11:34 AM PDT 1. About :Sudhagad is one of the best hill fort near Pune. This is located in the Pali region which lies towards Lonavala Side.Ideal place for a one day trek and can also be coupled with the Sarasgad trek if planning for 2 days.Initially, Sudhagad was called as 'Bhorapgad'. During empire of Shivaji Maharaj this fort was named as Sudhagad. This fort is approximately 590 meters in height. Sudhagad is a huge fort. It is called as the replica of Raigad. 2. History : The 'Thanale' excavations in this area are nearly 2200 years old. This shows that Sudhagad may be that much ancient. The construction and the geographical significance indicate that some great rulers might have constructed the fort.According to the Puranas, Sage 'Bhrugu' had stayed here and he had established the temple of Goddess 'Bhorai' on this fort. Sudhagad was included in 'Swarajya' in 1648. It is described in old records as follows:"Malavji Naik Karake put the ladders in Sakharadara. Initially, Jadhav and Saranayak both climbed the fort under the guidance of chieftain 'Maloji Bhosale'. After that Haibatrao climbed the fort. 25 soldiers went ahead and killed the guards. Further the chief of the fort was killed in anguish and the fort was conquered." Shivaji Maharaj renamed Bhorapgad as Sudhagad. Later Sambhaji met Akbar (the rebellious son of Aurangjeb) in the 'Pachchapur village' situated at the base of this fort. Annaji Datto, Balaji Aavji Chitnis, his son Aavji Ballal and Hiroji Pharjand were all important persons in 'Ashta-Pradhan Mandal' of Shivaji Maharaj. Sambhaji has killed all of them in 'Parli' village near Sudhagad. 3. Major Attractions :The perimeter of this fort is quite big. There are many lakes on the fort. There is a palace of Pant Sachiv on the fort, where 50 people can stay comfortably. Also there is a temple of Bhorai Devi, where 25-30 persons can be accommodated. Different kind of medicinal plants and trees can be seen in the surrounding forest.Bhoreshwar temple :• There is temple o... Read more

DGA | The Frozen River Trek in Ladakh | 7 Feb, 2016 Posted: 14 Aug 2015 11:41 AM PDT Imagine walking over frozen river with a large pack on your back and very cold water rushing a few inches below your feet! DarkGreen Adventures invites you for a trek which exists in the bucket list of all trekkers. The Chadar trek is a route which connects villages in the Zanskar valley to the road to Leh along the frozen Zanskar River. This route has been used for centuries and is most reliable in February. Unfortunately, this route will cease to exist after few years. The 'Chadar' is a perfect example of the resourcefulness of the Ladakhis and their indomitable spirit against such daunting odds. The landscape acquires a pristine grandeur in winter as the trail enters into the gorge of the Zanskar where temperatures sometimes drop to –30 degree Celsius. You will be dropped by a vehicle at Chilling. The trek passes through a narrow valley filled with breath-taking views of ice-peaks and unexpected hanging icicles. You will spend the night at cave camps with the help of a born fire.   Brief itinerary 7th Feb, Sunday - Fly to Leh 3500m Flying over miles and miles of heavily snowed mountains will tell you just why it's impossible to reach Ladakh by road in the winters. The moment you land at the Leh airport, you will feel the fresh and crisp air and a drastic drop in the temperature.   8th Feb, Monday - Drive to Tlad Do via Chilling Enjoy the sunrise from the Shanti Stupa and a panoramic view of the entire town of Leh and the peak of Stok Kangri. Later, a roller-coaster ride will take you to Chilling along the Indus. On the way we see the breathtaking confluence of Zanskar and Indus near the village of Nimu. To reach the camp-site, you have to cross the frozen Zanskar; and this is when you take your first steps on the Chadar.   9th Feb, Tuesday - Tilad Do to Gyalpo The biggest challenge of all the remaining days is to get out of the warm sleeping bags into the super cold atmosphere outside with some motivation from steaming cups of tea. Today, you will be walkin... Read more

The Canyoneering Experience Posted: 15 Aug 2015 07:30 PM PDT The sun was in its full glory this summer but now we all can hear the winds of change. The clouds have started to gather and the winds are flowing incessantly. Cold lashing winds with ice cold showers, a hot cup of tea with some nice pakoras, well isn't that your typical way of enjoying the monsoons. Hmm now consider this Well now let's add that tinge of adventure, jump off a waterfall cliff or simply zip through clicking away some amazing selfies, sounds exciting eh, well read on to know what's in store.

Pearl Trek and Tours : Exploring Malshej Ghat and Trek to Shivneri on 23 August 2015 Posted: 18 Aug 2015 03:38 AM PDT  Exploring Malshej Ghat & Trek to Shivneri Fort on 23 August 2015 Malshej Ghat : This region comprises the stretch of the Sahyadris from Harishchandragad in the north to Bhimashankar in the south. There are three passes for motor vehicles travelling from Mumbai to the Deccan plateau. These are the Thal Ghat in the north (from Kasara to Igatpuri), the Malshej Ghat in the middle (from Thitbi to Khubi) and the Bhor Ghat in the south (from Karjat to Khandala, or Khopoli to Khandala). Trains also ply along the Thal and the Bhor Ghat but not along the Malshej Ghat. Hence this region is rather remote. The only way of travelling to this region is by bus from Kalyan, via Murbad.  A trek in the Malshej Ghat region offers a unique feeling of remoteness and wildness, maybe because this region is less frequented by trekkers. All along the Konkan, the average drop in these mountains is about 900m, and the drops are rather steep. Amazing views can be got from the top of the mountains, of both the Konkan plains, as well as nearby and distant peaks and valleys. But because of less frequent transport connections, one should be careful about the first and last bus.  Shiveneri : This fort is one of the historically important forts as it was the birthplace of Shivaji who lived here till the age of five when the fort has handed back to the Mogul rulers from the Deccan. It has a huge arch at the entrance and many well preserved fortifications.

About the Place : 
| Type : Hill Fort | Height : 2100 ft | Grade : Medium|

Vikatgad is also known as Peb fort , this fort derived its name Peb from the ‘Goddess Pebi’ at the base of the fort. Historical references clearly indicate that Shivaji Maharaj used the caves on the fort as silos for grain storage.

Fort Peb is situated on northeast side of Panvel, on Mumbai-Pune road, at a distance of 3-4 km on west side of Neral. To avoid crowd at hill stations like Matheran, nature lovers must visit the nearby fort Peb. This is the most beautiful one-day trek.The cave on the fort is occupied by disciples of Swami Samarth, a great saint. They have contributed a lot to development on this fort from last ten years. They have managed successfully to keep the cave and the fort clean, and maintained the dignity of the fort.

Near to this cave are meditation caverns, which are underground. These caverns are still in good condition. One has to crawl into these and only one man can enter at one time. In monsoon two of these are filled with water.

On the top we can go by climbing the wall of the fort. This would have been the main entrance. From here we can climb by holding the rods fixed in the rock.  The main attraction here is the bastion on the topmost part. This faces the mountain of Matheran. Here we can clearly see the ridge connecting mountains of Matheran and Peb. When we stand here we feel to be at the top of the world.

On the other side of the fort is a temple of a deity. Here is a big cistern. The disciples are constructing a good temple here. We can reside here for some time.

The beautiful waterfall on the way is the main attraction here. Surrounding scenery looks marvelous from the cave in the monsoon. From here we also see the pinnacles of Navara-Navari, Bhatoba and Irshaal, along with forts of Chanderi, Prabalgad and Malanggad and also Nakhind. This trekking is pleasant in all seasons. 

Friends, you all are requested to carry packed lunch for the trek as there are no villagers and proper hutments for arranging food, water etc. Also there’s nothing available on top except a mind blowing scenery, beautiful construction of rock-cut steps, thrill of climb & Loads of water. So do carry decent amount of eatables, and personal medicines as required.
