      Dear OffBeaters ,
      We invite you to a nature trail to the most colorful plateau, Kaas plateau on 20th and 21st September 2014

      Grade : Nature Trail
      Base Village : Kaas

      People who are keen about nature, flora and fauna this is the place for you.

      Situated at 25 km from the satara city, Kaas is the place where 100s of varieties of flowers blossom in this season turning the plateau into beds of different colours. It looks like carpets of flowers laying on the ground, yellow carpets of Smithia and Sonki flowers, Pink carpets of Balsam, Purple carpets of Karvi and many more..... The color of the carpets keeps on changing with time depending on the dominant flowers at the time.

      Looking over the water catchment area of the huge koyna Dam, it blends with the lush green forest in the protected area.

      Rules and regulations.

      Do understand that we do not arrange picnics. It follows that if one seeks luxury and absolute comfort then we can hardly help them. ;)
      Offbeat sahyadri believe in being one with nature and that is possible only when we shed all city slicker attitudes. Of course by that we do not suggest that one should be ready for any kind of nonsense.
      Utmost care is taken to ensure safety of the group and care is taken that no one is inconvenienced because of factors within our control.
      We do expect our offbeater friends to understand group dynamics and leave at home their individuality. They should be prepared to share and care. That makes and all the physical and mental exhaustion forgettable and the trek itself becomes unforgettable! Trust us on this.



      Now some basic codes.
      Respect nature.
      1)   Absofreakinglutely no littering! Carry your own trash. If you are found littering then we will request you to pick it up. Friends, it is really not nice to throw garbage around and it only reflects upon us. Will we do this to our own houses? J.

      REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE!
      2)   Do not disturb the flora and fauna. No making pretty bouquets of grabbed flowers and blooms. No feeding and intimidating birds and other animals. Think how you would feel if someone barges into your house and threatens you. The jungle is THEIR home. So, Capital N O= NO!

      3)   Remember, the mountain has a mind of his own. Beware and do not make the mistake of taking him for granted. It sounds weird but it’s true.


      With fellow trekkers.
      1)   It is fun to interact and get to know people from different walks of life. Feel free to take the opportunity to expand your social circles.
      2)   Share water and food. Nothing else is a better ice breaker than being offered water or a bite of your sandwich!
      3)   Care for your fellow trekkers. It is not nice to be self centered and unamicable.


      For your own safety
      1)   The organizers and you yourself are equally responsible for your safety. We cannot take the blame for injuries or inconveniences arising out of actions outside the organizers instructions and acts of nature.
      2)   Simply put, stay with the group. Do not rush far too ahead or lag too behind. We understand that everyone has a different stamina and we try to keep the group bound together.
      3)   Do not wander off from the main trail. Whenever there is no established trail, strictly stay with the group. Be within the sight of the person ahead of you and the one behind you. It helps.
      4)   One must understand that the group leader is responsible for the entire group and may have to take some tough decisions at times. If one expects a memorable experience with us then we expect full cooperation and discipline. To sum up, the leader’s decision will be final and binding on all offbeaters.

      5)    Finally, the non arguable part. Smoking and other forms of tobacco use and alcohol consumption is strictly prohibited. 

      Regards,
      Team OffBeat Sahyadri

        Hey mates, we at Trekking Paradise are glad to invite you for one day trek to Mahuli near Asangaon on Sunday,21st September 2014. Some Information about the fort:Type: Hill FortHeight: 2815 Feet above MSL (Approx)Grade: MediumRegion: ThaneBase Village: MahuliTrek Leader: Rohan Vaidya/ Suraj More Mahuli-Fort is a beautiful mountain terrain located in the outskirts of Thane District of Maharashtra. Situated at a height of 2,815 feet, the destination is surrounded by dense forest, which is declared as a natural reserve. The history of Mahuli-Fort is marked with various events dating back to the 15th century. In 1485, the fort was under the rule of the Nizam Shahi Dynasty. When Shahaji Raje became the secretary of Nijamshahi, Mughals of Delhi tried to end Nijamshahi. In 1635-36, Shahaji Raje transferred himself with Jijabai and Shivaji Maharaj to Mahuli. When Khan Jaman attacked the fort, Shahaji asked Portuguese for help, who refused and Shahaji surrendered. Shivaji Maharaj took this fort from Mughals on 8 Jan 1658. In 1661 it was given back and was won again by Shivaji Maharaj. In treaty of Purandar, in 1665, Marathas lost these forts again. In Feb 1670, Shivaji Maharaj tried to conquer Mahuli, but failed, Manohardas Gaud, was the in charge of the fort. A thousand Marathas were killed. Manohardas Gaud, soon gave up his position and Alveerdi Beg took over. On 16 June 1670, after two months, Moropant Pingle conquered the forts and Mahuli, Bhandargad and Palasgad became part of Swarajya. Till 1817, Shivaji Maharaj's dynasty owned the fort but later on it was controlled by the British Raj. Mahuli-Fort is a prominent place for trekkers, as it has beautiful hill forts and mountain peaks. The tentative itinerary for the Event is as given below: Meeting point:Asangaon Stn at 7.30 amWe will be starting with the Asangaon slow local train (time table given below)People may board the same Asangaon train from the station of their convenience and meet us at Asangaon station directl...
