YatriSahyadri has organized a trek to Brahmagiri (Trimbakgad) & unexplored Bhandar-Durg near Nashik on Sunday i.e. on 5th June 2016 (Starting 4th June Night).   Some basic information about the trek is as follows:   Brief Introduction about BRAHMAHIRI (TRIMBAKGAD) & BHANDAR-DURG: Height: 4248 feet Grade: Easy / Medium Time: Maximum 2 hrs from Trimbakeshwar / Max. 1 hrs from Brahmagiri. Location: Trimbakeshwar.    TRIMBAKGAD (Brahmagiri): Trimbakeshwar Temple is perched on the picturesque lusting green Brahmagiri hills near Nasik in Maharashtra. River Godavari originates on this hill and flows though the Brahmagiri ranges. Apart from religious significance, Trimbak Fort played a part in the history. Ramchandra of Yadavas of Devgiri built it. In 1629, Mughal Emperor Shahjahan sent an army and after a long battles in the areas captured it in 1636. It remained with them till 1720 when it passed to Nijam who ruled it till 1752. The Marathas captured it then and Col. Mcdowell led the final attack against it in 1818 on 24th April. After a three hours of firing the fort surrendered. The British conquered Trimbak and dismantled the fort. The Multani family of Karachi rebuilt the steps and a Dharmashala, which are now in use.   DURGBHANDAR:- It will be an over exaggerated statement if we mention Durg Bhandar as a fort. It resembles a watchtower, to pass signals or for storage purpose (As the name suggests). But what makes us to take a note of this tower is its strategic importance. It is located near Basgad and Harihar which are the forts in Trimbak range.   Program:   11:00 pm(Saturday evening) : Departure by Private vehicle from Borivali East near Tata Steel Junction via Western Express to Bandra – Sion – Thane to Trimbkeshwar.04:30 am : Reach Trimbkeshwar.05.00 - 05.30 am: Breakfast. 06.00 am: Trimbkeshwar Temple Darshan 06.30am: Start Trek towards Brahmagiri time approx. 2hr. 09.00 am: - Reach on top of Brahmagiri 09.00 am to 09.30 am: Explore the Fort. 09.30 am: ...
