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

    Independence Day special trek to Ratangad with Looneytunes Adventure.
    Dear Friends,
    We are glad to invite you for Independence Day special trek to Ratangad on 15th August 2015.(leaving 14th night)
    Brief Introduction about Ratangad: –
    Region: Igatpuri
    Fort Height: 4225 ft.
    Type: Hill
    Grade: Medium
    Base Village: Ratanwadi
    District: Ahmednagar
    As the name speaks; Ratanad is described as "Jewel Fort of Sahayadri". It gets the name as it is origin for the river "Amrutvahini". Located in the district of Ahmednagar, it stands tall to 4255 feet above mean sea level. The fort is about 2000 years old and is situated at banks of Bhandardara Lake.
    The main attraction of this fort is "Amurteshwar" temple which falls into "Hemadpant Era" (way back to eighth century). It truly defines the ancient sculpture of our great ancestors due to its carving
    Ratangad is a natural rock peak with a cavity at top that measure 10 feet high and 60 feet wide, thus forming a needle eye sort of appearance called as "Nedhe". This is caused due to Wind Erosion and one can experience the nature's power over there. It has a water cistern which is usually filled with water throughout the year and was one of the largest rainwater catchment areas for its time. Fort has a main entrance called as "Tryambak Darwaza." Also we have some remains of smaller entrance to the fort called as "Chor Darwaza". Two ladders have been added to provide easy access to the main fort area.

    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

      Details:-
      The highest peak in the world is Mount Everest. Likewise, Kalsubai is the highest peak in the Sahyadris in Maharashtra. Kalsubai is the Everest of Maharashtra. To climb this Everest, you need no climbing equipment. To climb this 5400 feet peak, it just takes one day for either a Mumbaikar or a Punekar.
      On the top of the peak is a small temple, which can seat at the most 3 people. The vastly spread out backwaters of Bhandardara attracts ones attention from the top. On the north we see the mountain range having forts like Ramsej, Achala, Ahivant, Saptashrungi, Markandya, Dhodap, Rawlya , Jawlya and Koldher. To the east one can spot Aundh, Vishramgad, Alang, Madan, Kulang, Matheran and Harishchandragad. There has, however, been a massive deforestation on this mountain. One can spend around an hour on this peak before starting to descend back to the village.

    In the hills of Amboli village lies the source of the Hiranyakeshi river, and an ancient Shiva temple (called Hiranyakeshwar) exists at the cave where the water emerges. The main attraction for tourists is the incredibly high rainfall (7 m average per year) and the numerous waterfalls and mist during the monsoons.

    Aptly called Maharashtra's Cherapunji – a Biodiversity Hotspot, Amboli – is situated deep within the dense foliage of the Sahyadris range in the southern most portion of Maharashtra and exhibits the highest rainfall to the tune of 7446 mm. An amazingly calm and serene atmosphere of this place has still not seen the ugly face of commercialization. With the exotic lesser fauna, eye catching waterfalls, greenery spread upto the horizon, play of wind with clouds and densely packed fog in the woods with a surrounding silent and calm atmosphere and mouth watering Konkani food – one is bound to feel out of the world during his stay in Amboli. DCP is organizing a two night three days Herpetofauna Photography workshop at Amboli.
    Possible biodiversity
    Amboli tree frog (Philatus amboli)
    Bombay bush frog (Raorchestes bombayensis)
    Indian Rock Frog (Indirana leithii)
    Amboli Night frog
    Malabar gliding frog
    Beddome's burrowing frog
    Wrinkled frog
    Fungoid frog

    ITINERARY
    Scheduled dates – 21st to 23rd August 2015
    Day 1
    The first glimpse of the forest mesmerizes with a typical picture of a mystic rainforest with tall trees and their whispering canopies, creepers and climbers, with intertwining branches of trees with mosses hanging down and most of times made even more mysterious by the dense fog packed above the forest floor. Every corner of the forest is alive, below every little leaf, behind every dried bark and under every soaked rock, there is a life vibrating.
    Rajyarani exp (11003) departs from Mumbai Dadar at 23:55 hrs on previous evening and reaches Sawantwadi station next day at 10:55 hrs. Amboli is situated approximately 40 kms from Sawantwadi.

    Day 2
    Amboli was developed as a hill station by a British political agent, Col. Westrop, who chose this location in the Vengurla – Belgaum state highway no. 112 situated in the Sindhudurg district of Maharashtra. Extremely rich herpetofauna, wild flowers and birds make this place a dream destination for any naturalist.
    In the morning, we will go upto Parikshat point and will have an onsite macro photography hands on training. We come back the hotel by lunch. In the evening we have requested Mr Hemant Ogale to address the group with a few words on conservation efforts taken by Malabar Conservation Club.

The wall is divided into two dykes at the middle where a small Shivalaya exists. Telbaila was a fort with steps which theBritish destroyed with mines & guns just to prevent any mutiny in future against the British Rule. Today Telbaila stands as one of themost prominent places in the Sahyadris famous for its four rock-climbing routes. Ascent to the top requires high technical mountaineering skills. It's a climber's paradise. However the tourists can go up to the temple and enjoy the scenic beauty of Sudhagad in Konkan visible right beyond the deep valley.About घनगड:Ghangad is a lonely fort standing quietly away, surrounded by Korigad, Telbaila, Sudhagad and Navra-Navri-Bhatji peaks. The base village is Ekole. Ghagad is famous among trekkers for its 15-feet rock-patch. Now the villagers have installed a ladder at this point, making the fort easier to access for commoners, too. View from Ghangad is stunning, with the lone tall rock at the mouth of deep gorge that runs from its walls into Konkan, the amazing view of Telbaila, Sudhagad, Sarasgad. One can see the backwaters of Mulshi Lake, also Nandand Ghat, Savashnicha ghat and Bhorpaychi Nal, which descend to Kokan.Interesting places to see:Gaarjai Temple, Rock cut caves, massive chunk of rocks detached from the cliff Waghjai idol, rock patch, water cisterns, dilapidatedentrance to the fort, etc.-----------------------------------------------------------------Attractions :- twin walls with "Dyke" type of geological construction.

Harischandragad is one of the most visited forts in Western Ghats. If you are trekking in Sahyadri for several years and you haven't visitedHarishchandragad then you haven't trekked enough. This enormous fort has 7 routes and during this trek we will be doing most simple route ie Pachnai Route.Its the easiest way to explore Harishchandragad without facing much exhaustion. Pachnai route might be the simplest route but its very scenic. Since it does not take out your breath, you are more appreciative to your surroundings. Harishchandragad: The fort is quite ancient, considered to be from the Medieval period. The Great sage Changdev (one who created the epic Tatvasaar),used to meditate on Taramati/Rohidas in 14th century. The caves are also from the same period. Harishchandragad was captured by the Marathas in 1747from the Moguls. Konkan Kada: The most interesting point on this fort is this cliff, which has always fascinated many people from many years. The cliff faces west andlooks down upon the Konkan with a breathtaking view of the surrounding region and sunset. This cliff is not just vertical; it is an overhang, almostlike a cobra's hood. Kedareshwar: The cave of Kedareshwar has a big Shivlinga, which is totally surrounded by water.Some Information about the Fort:Height of Fort – Harischandragad -1424m (4671ft)Base Village- Pachnai.District & Region- Ahmednagar, Malshej GhatGrade: Easy (2.5 hrs trek).Trek Leader: Nishant Sheth.

    Little info about the fort Type: Geology-History-Culture-Nature Exploration Grade: Easy Date: 23rd Ngt Oct to 25th Oct 15 Duration: 2 N / 2 D. Range: Buldana District, Aurangabad Base Village : Lonar Lonar Lake lies within the only known extraterrestrial impact crater found within the great Deccan Traps basaltic formation of India.The lake was initially believed to be of volcanic origin, but now it is recognized as an impact crater created by the hypervelocity impact of either a comet or a meteorite. India's Lonar Crater began causing confusion soon after it was identified in 1823 by a British officer named C.J.E. Alexander. Lonar Crater sits inside the Deccan Plateau—a massive plain of volcanic basalt rock leftover from eruptions some 65 million years ago. Its location in this basalt field suggested to some geologists that it was a volcanic crater. Today, however, Lonar Crater is understood to result from a meteorite impact that occurred between 35,000 and 50,000 years ago. The Advanced Space borne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER)flying on NASA's Terra satellite acquired this image of Lonar Crater on November 29, 2004. In this simulated-true-color image, pink-beige indicates bare ground, blue and off-white indicate human-made structures, dark blue indicates water, green indicates vegetation, and dull purple indicates fallow fields. A vegetation-lined lake fills the crater, one of the few natural features of this scene. Signs of human habitation surround the lake, especially the cluster of blue and off-white points to its immediate northeast. Outside of this settlement, the vicinity is a patchwork of agricultural fields. Lonar Crater is approximately 150 meters (500 feet) deep, with an average diameter of almost 1,830 meters (6,000 feet). The crater rim rises roughly 20 meters (65 feet) above the surrounding land surface. Scientists established Lonar's status as an impact crater based on several lines of evidence, perhaps the most compelling being ... Read more

    About Ratangad
    Ratan means Jewel in Hindi. This hill fort is indeed jewel in all the hill forts here in Sahyadri. It is located in the district of Ahmednagar and is located about 4255 feet above sea level. It lies in the Ajoba mountain range surrounded by great mountains of Kulang, Alang, Kalsubai, Katarabai, Ajoba and Ghanchakkar. Geographically Ratangad is at the banks of Bhandardara lake of Ahmednagar district. With views of lake and highest mountains in Sahyadris looks very much lost in time. At the base of this fort is ancient Lord Shiva (Amurteshwar) temple. About 1000 years old temple of Lord Shiva, the Amruteshwar Temple at Ratanwadi, is an absolute paragon of high class architecture
    Ratangad has still the remains of fortress with bastions and stone walls. Water cisterns are usually filled with water throughout the year and trekkers use them as water source. Eastern side of the fort has some fortification left, one can see Rani mahal here. From the southern side on can see Katrabai and Ajoba fort very close….
