Completely descending the valley of  Shadows…  About the Tour : Sandhan valley is one of the greatest canyons in the Sahyadri mountain ranges. It is a very good combination of a canyon and a valley.

Walking through the narrow streak of valley with 300 ft rock walls on both the sides is a lifetime experience.

!! Trekker's Paradise !! About the Tour : I think this is the dream trek for the every trekker. The Harishchandragad fort is quite ancient. Its origin is said to have been in 6th century, during the rule of Kalchuri dynasty. The various caves probably have been carved out in the 11th century. In these caves are idols of Lord Vishnu. Great sage Changdev (one who created the epic "Tatvasaar"), used to meditate here in 14th century. The various constructions on the fort and those existing the surrounding region point to the existence of diverse cultures here. Marathas Took over Fort from Mughals in 1747.

hiiii all adventure lovers,We are glad to invite you for moonlight trek to naneghat 3rd march 2016(sunday)(leaving Saturday night)Place: NaneghatHeight: 2750 feetBase Village: VaishakhareDistrict: ThaneDifficulty Level: EasyEndurance Level: MediumRegion : MalshejCost : 300/- per headDate : 3rd march 2016 (leaving Saturday night)OFFER : COME IN GROUP OF 3 OR MORE N HAVE 50 RUPPES OFF ON EVERY CONFIRMATIONCharges including : morning breakfast & tea, travelling from kalyan to kalyan and all expertise charges including.General Information:The first thing we can see after reaching Naneghat is the spacious cave of Naneghat. The ancient carvings, which are seen on the walls of the cave, remind us of the Satvaahan period. Here we find inscriptions in Brahmi script all over the cave. These indicate the magnificent era of the Satvaahans and their generosity. These inscriptions are gradually being destroyed, and only a part of it is remaining. The inscriptions are very precious, and are undergoing destruction due to the negligence of Archeology.The widely spread plateau of Naneghat is an astonishment. To the left the steps besides the cave lead us to the plateau and going to the right lead us to Nana's thumb. After climbing all the way to the bottom of the thumb, when we climb the stairs, we do not expect a big plateau. Thus this route leads directly to a higher altitude quickly, unlike Malshej Ghat, which goes all around the mountains. At the entrance to the Ghat is a big stone-made vessel like thing, in which coins as toll were put.Journey Details:-trek planCST TO KALYAN 8:44 pm LOCAL# Code Station Distance Arr.

Hi Rangers, VRangers Biking – Trek to Kavnai and Tringalwadi – farm Camping & Lakeside fun on 9th-10th Apr 2016...... Get Ready for Super exciting package of Biking, Trekking and Camping...... Lets enjoy  !!!!!! Kavnai and Tringalwadi are 2 forts in the Trimbakeshwar region of Nashik surrounded by other forts like Harihar, Anjaneri, Gadgada Sanghvi, Kalsubai, Alang, Madan and Kulang. Kavnai is smaller compared to Tringalwadi. Short Information: Kavnai Kavnai Fort stands ten miles north of Igatpuri, two miles west of the railway line, midway between the Ghoti and Bailgaon stations of the Peninsula Railway. The fort, which is said to have been built by the Moghals, was ceded to the Peshwa by the Nizam in virtue of a treaty concluded after the battle of Udgir (1760) When the Marathas were defeated at Trimbak in 1818, Kavnai, like Tringalvadi and fifteen other neighbouring forts, fell without a struggle to the British. Captain Briggs who visited it after its surrender found two houses at the foot of the hill where the garrison lived. The ascent was easy till the scarp was reached. The scarp, though not very high, was nearly perpendicular and was climbed by bad rock-cut steps. There was only one tolerable gate. The top of the fort was small with an ample water supply and good houses for the garrison. Short Info Fort Type: Hill. Region: Igatpuri Base Village: Kavanai Difficulty: Very Easy Short Information: Tringalwadi Although the exact period of construction of this fort is not known, however, by virtue of 'Pandav Leni' near the foothills, one can roughly estimate the fort to be in existence since 10th century. Also there is no evidence regarding the period during which it was under control of Marathas, however, during the year 1688; Mughals took control over the fort by perfidy.Tringalwadi is known for the lake and dam at the base of the fort. It is also famous for the caves similar to the Kedareshwar caves at Harishchandra Gad. It takes about 1 and half hour to r... Read more

  Hello Friends!!!BHATKANTI MAHARASHTRACHI once again taking you to an adventurous nature tour to Turtle Festival at Velas Beach & Bankot Fort.  About the Tour: VELAS - Where the Life Begins!! Get Ready to Witness the Wonderful Life Of Turtles now... Velas is a small village in Ratnagiri district of Maharashtra which is famous for the Olive Ridley Turtle population that visits the Velas beach every year and lays their eggs. At Velas, Turtle conservation movement is undertaken by the villagers. An NGO named Sahyadri Nisargmitra and the villagers committee has taken the initiative to conserve olive Ridley Turtles by providing protection to their eggs. Witnessing a baby turtle coming out of the egg and then finding its way to the sea by those baby steps is an unforgettable moment. Join in Mumbai Travelers for this unforgettable journey. Bankot Fort This was the first residency of the British Raj in Southern Konkan. Although a very beautiful fort dotting the coastline of the Konkan strip, the fort of Himmatgad, now popularly known as Bankot (from the name of nearby village) is not a destination thronged by the tourists. There are couple of reasons attributable to its secluded status. One is that there is very little awareness and historical significance associated with Bankot and other is absence of any major township in the nearby areas contributing to lack of quality accommodation facilities. However, there is no denying that Bankot is a very beautiful fort and surely worth a visit. DESCRIPTION: Type: Fort Region: Mandangad District: Ratnagiri Height: Sea Fort (Slightly above Sea level) Grade: Simple Date: 10th April 2016 (living date 09 april 2016) Cost: 1300/- per head, Rs.500 advance (Advance Non-Refundable) Participants: 30 Members Only.
