We were five of us for this (Naneghat - Jivdhan - Bhoranda Nal trek) and let me tell you it was just more than a fascinating one!
Naneghat as usual offers a good and leisurely hike.. whereas the Khadaparsi, Kalyan Darwaja and Ghatghar route in monsoons just doubled up the bonanza for us.
Bhoranda Nal is a [...]

Having seen it number of times earlier, Harishchandragad was a big no for me, but for the challenge that Nalichi Vaat seemed to offer. It was quite evident that it cannot host a large group as the Nali chi route is a difficult one and might lead to a total fiasco if attempted with many [...]

Even [...]

Harishchandragad….the name has always evoked some exciting responses!!!
Both among the newbies and the oldies….everyone seems to be well acquainted with this proper noun.
Harishchandragad via tolar khind, via pachnai, Rajmarg (from khireshwar going from the side of nedhe), via sadhle ghat…n via Nalichi waat….not to mention the central and left rockclimbing routes over konkan kada!!!!!
This huge [...]

the summer heat is on a rapid rise and so is the trekking season fading off rapidly. before the heat reaches it peak we wanted to do a nice little trek and the easily accesible gorakhgad-siddhagad was a good call.
