OUR NEXT TREK brings you yet another amazing opportunity to experience the beauty of nature, this time through the Eye Of the Mountain itself.Some Info about the Trek:Nakhind is a hill situated in the Matheran Mountain Range. Since its a ridge, its rather steep as compared to other hills in this range. The peculiar feature about this hill is a naturally formed hole in the rock wall (like a needle hole). I call it the Eye of the Mountain, and it sure offers some breath-taking views! So come on, let's explore the unexplored.Travel will be by local train / private vehicles.No. Of Seats: Max 15 participants.Grade: Moderate.Cost Rs. 300/- (includes Trek charges, breakfast, refreshments, travel between Vangani and base village) Registrations strictly by phone call only!Tentative Trek Plan:We'd be boarding the last compartment (Mumbai CST side) of the below train. You may get in at your respective stations. Please take Vangani return tickets.S-5 Karjat Slow train timing: http://mumbailifeline.com/train_info.php?sel_route=central&train=S+5After breakfast at Vangani, we shall start journey for base village Bedisgaon by private vehicle.9AM: Introductions & start trek.

Hence, it is our duty to keep the place free of garbage. So do not litter. One is expected to dump all wrappers/chewing gums/etc in his/her own bag. In fact it would not be a bad idea to clear any plastic wrapper/bottle lying on the trekking path. A separate pouch/plastic bag must be carried for this purpose. 2] Trekking is a healthy habit. So Smoking has to b... Read more
