Courtesy: Trekshitiz.com 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. One would find Peb similar to Gorakhgad in terms of the time required to climb the fort, ways towards the fort, the cave and the surrounding nature. But there is a dense forest on the way to the fort Peb. Nowadays deforestation has reduced it a lot. The fort is also named as 'VikatGad'.Journey Details: - Pune crowd - 06:05 am Sinhagad expresshttp://www.mapsofindia.com/railway-timetable/pune-jn-to-mumbai-cst-route-of-sinhagad-exp.htmlKarjat 8 20 am fast train for cstNeral : 8 30 am For more INFO Contact - Sachin - 8879661468Mumbai crowd - Sunday 24th Aug. 2014Karjat Local timings are mention below (Please do take Return Ticket of KARJAT) CST: 06:45 am. / Byculla : 06:53 am. / Dadar : 07:03 am. / Kurla : 07:12 am. / Ghatkopar: 07:16 am.Thane: 07:30 am. / Dombivali : 07:42 am. / Kalyan : 07:50 am. / Neral : 8:27 am.8.45am: Breakfast 9.30am: Move towards Pipeline road… By Public Transport10.00am: Will Start Trek towards Peb Fort12.30am: on Top (Lunch and exploration)2.00pm: Start for Return journey 4.30.00pm: Naral StationWill Reach Mumbai till 7.30pm (Appx.)
