Dear Friends we invite you all for Trek to Harihar fort on 9th Jan 2016 Leaving on Friday Night.   Type : Hill forts Fort Range : Trimbakeshwar District : Nashik Endurance : Easy Difficulty : Medium Height : 3676 ft Trek Leader: Nishant Sheth.   Harihar, also called Harish Fort, is 6.43 km west of Trimbak and 1,120.44 metres (3,676 feet) above sea-level. The trek to Harihar Fort is short yet tiring. The last 200 feet of the hike is a nerve-racking climb through steep rock cut stairs inclined at 80 degrees. The descent is particularly exhilarating as you have to climb down and at one point face a sheer 500 ft drop. The architecture of the stairs is so diverse and outstanding and offers spectacular and occasionally scary views of the valley below. The fort is situated amidst the huge Vaitarna dam and the Trimbakeshwar mountain ranges offer stunning views of the area around. It was of substantial importance in earlier days to keep watch on the route crossing the range connecting Maharashtra to Gujarat. Trimbakeshwar range spreads from north of Igatpuri to west of Nasik. It is divided in two parts, with forts of Basgad, Utvad, hill of Fani, Harihar and Trimbakgad on one part and those of Anjaneri and Hargad on the other.The water flows away from this region because of the one – sided slope of Sahyadris.The fort appears to be rectangular in shape from its base village and is located on top of a triangular massif with all the three sides being vertical and hence naturally fortified. There is only one access to the fort through a 200ft high rock cut staircase inclined at an 80 degree angle. It was one of the forts in the possession of the Ahemadnagar Sultans. Captain Briggs from the British army visited the fort in 1818, and left a fairly detailed description. He described the ascent as truly wonderful.In 1636 Harihar, Trimbakgad, Tringalvadi and a few other Poona forts were given by the Marathas to the Mughals. Hariharwas one of the seventeen strong places that were surre... Read more

Dear Friends we invite you all for Bungee Jumping & Water Rafting at Rishikesh from 21th to 26th Jan 2016. Bungee jumping also spelt "Bungy" jumping is an activity that involves jumping from a tall structure while connected to a large elastic cord. The tall structure is usually a fixed object, such as a building, bridge or crane. The thrill comes from the free-falling and the rebound. When the person jumps, the cord stretches and the jumper flies upwards again as the cord recoils, and continues to oscillate up and down until all the kinetic energy is dissipated. Rishikesh Is also known as the gateway to the Himalayas, Rishikesh is a vibrant city and attracts lacs of people from both India and abroad for various reasons.

Small Info About Gir (Sasan Gir Forest National Park) The Gir Forest National Park and Wildlife Sanctuary (also known as Sasan-Gir) is a forest and wildlife sanctuary in Gujarat, India. Established in 1965, with a total area of 1412 km² about 258.7 km² for the fully protected area the national park and 1153.4 km² for the Sanctuary, the park is located 43 km in the north-east from Somnath, 65 km to the south-east of Junagadh and 60 km to south west of Amreli. It is the sole home of the Asiatic Lions (Panthera leo persica) and is considered to be one of the most important protected areas in Asia due to its supported species. The ecosystem of Gir, with its diverse flora and fauna, is protected as a result of the efforts of the government forest department, wildlife activists and NGOs. The forest area of Gir and its lions were declared as "protected" in the early 1900s by the Nawab of the princely state of Junagadh. This initiative assisted in the conservation of the lions whose population had plummeted to only 15 through slaughter for trophy hunting.   My Mera India Group Tour Dates: ------------------ April 28 - 1 May, 2016   Tour Cost: ----------------- Standard (S) INR 12990/-* Classic (C) INR 14900/-*   Tour Package Inclusive* ---------------------------------- Five Open Jeep Safaris Return Train Mumbai – Junghard– Mumbai A/C Accommodation twin sharing basis as per plan All tea, Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner All Pickup and Drop for group Six people per jeep (G6) For Photography tour four people per jeep (G4)(Call Us for cost) Tour Package Exclusive* --------------------------------- All tea, meals during train journey All personal expenses Any other fees revised on the date of tours Those wants save time can fly to nearest airport (Rajkot) Additional discount for group booking ---------------------------------------------------------- Special individual tour booking ---------------------------------------------------------- Note: --------- •125 days in advance boo...
