WSR One day Trek to Ghangad / Telbaila on 20th February 2016   Short Info: Ghangad / Telbaila Height: 3000 feet / 3322 feet Grade: Easy Time: Max.45 min from Ekole / Max. 45 minutes from Telbaila Region: Lonavala Cost: Rs 850/- Per Person Trek Lead: Mahadeo Gadade   Ghangad is situated on the western side of Mulshi river, which is called as Kobarse Maval. This fort is surrounded by Korigad, Telbaila and Sudhagad, but still lonely and separated. There is not much documentation explored about the history of the fort. Earlier it was with Koli Samant, then with Adilshah and later with Marathas. Telbaila was a watch tower built to guard over the Sahwashni ghat near Pali. It consists of two rock walls, the left and the right clearly differentiated by the col. in between. There is a temple of local goddess at the base of the twin wall. There are lots of ancient man-made water tank & caves at the base as well as on the climbing routes. Though not of much historic importance – the rock walls of Telbaila offer great rock climbingopportunities of technical grade.Itinerary - Saturday 20 Feb, 2016Mumbai Participants: – Catch Indrayani Express and get down at Lonavala station 5:37 am, Mumbai CST:5:46 am, Dadar 06:05 am, Thane 06:30 am, Kalyan 08:00 am, Lonavala   Pune Participants: - Catch Pune-Lonavala local and get down at Lonavala station 6:27 am, Pune 6:33 am, Shivaji Nagar 6:55 am, Pimpari 7:04 am, Dehu Road 7:16 am, Talegoan 7:30 am, Kamshet 7:55 am, Lonavala 08.05 hrs: Near ticket counter (Lonavala (W))08.10 hrs: Breakfast & Tea08.30 hrs: Move towards Ghangad Fort Base Village10.15 hrs: Start Ascending the fort 12.00 hrs: Ghangad Top & Explore 1.30pm - Move to Tailbaila 2.30pm - Trek till Tailbaila Col (No climbing) 3.30pm - back to village 5.00pm - Lonavala We will be in Mumbai around 20:00 hrs (subjective)   List of things which needs to be carry:-1.A haversack to put in all the things to be carried, 2.
