Kalsubai Trek by Sahaydri Sangh..........Highest peak in Maharashtra

Sahaydri Sangh Kalsubai Trek (Highest Peak in Sahaydri Ranges)

Sahaydri Sangh decides to go for One of the Highest Peak in the Sahaydri Ranges i.e. Kalsubai In Igatpuri. .

The peak stands 1600 meters above sea level. The climb is approximately 1000 meters. That dint sound too bad. Google said the trek is an easy climb. How tough could it be, specially for a person who had been halfway down the grand canyon…

Sahaydri Sangh….. सह्याद्री संघ… ( Sachin Chavan, Rajesh Rahatwal, Bhushan Indulkar, Umesh Mane, Nilesh Shinde, Santosh Sarak & Prakash Prajapati ) decided to go for this trek in the month of Sept… so we choosed 5^th sept 2009. date for the same..

We picked ST from Dadar at around 3.30 p.m. somewhere for Igatpuri station.. We had fun while traveling gup-shup, songs .. fun all the way… n reached Igatpuri by 7.30 p.m.

We halt at one of good lodge near Station.. Costing only 400/- for 7 Peoples. It was raining lightly at around 7.30-8.00 der… But climate was too good. V all need to sleep early cuz hv to catch early mrng. i.e. 5.00 am ST from Igatpuri ST Stand for BARI village.. (BARI is base village of Kalsubai Fort).

But then also…. Sahaydri che mavale thodich lavkar zopanaar hote J … after Good n tasty dinner we had long gup-shup… till 12.15 am… In morning… We all get up early at 4.15 am…. N catch the ST for BARI Village at 5.30 am.

Don’t have a words to explain how lovely scenery we saw while we were at ST… Amazing clouds n mountains towards Kalsubai.. Bhandardara is also nearest having lovely spot… At around 6.30 we reach Bari Village.. what an climate it was… Atmosphere was tooo good for trek.. No raining at all..

After having a Tea we started our treak at 7.15…

The view from bari is APRATIM/ AMEZING 1650 meters can look deceptively simple. Consequently (and in retrospect foolishly) I ended up offering to take 2 more bottles of water with my current load. I also ended up doing the first leg of the climb with Sachin and Rajesh, two exercise freaks one of which runs marathons and the other bikes close to 100kms every week. Pretty soon I started to resemble a marathon runner myself.

The Starting experience around half n hour had pumped so much adrenalin into us that the rest of the climb was easy though stair case. Our Sahaydri Sangh Guys giving Jaygosh of Shivaji Maharaj……Jay Bhavani.. Jay Shivaji.. It sounds good when u were on top n everyone says combinedly n loudly.. It encourage to team too. Cuz शिवाजी महाराज हेच तर सह्याद्री संघाचे प्रेरणा स्थान आहे.. We are catching nice view in our camera too. By the time of going up.

After 2.30 hours we reached on top… All Sahaydri Sangh Guys feels Satisfied.. Yes.. We’hv done it.. We have successively trekked one of highest peak in Maharashtra.. (Kalsubai) what a moment of us it was..We all are happy.. One Very beautiful Kalsubai Temple is their.. We pray their.. n started coming back from up to down.

U’ll feel amazing if u trekked this fort. Climate is so good here. .. मी तर प्रेमात पडलो आहे....Because 1) I like the wheelies 2) I love the Mountains and 3)Kalsubai rocks :):):)

….

Sachin Chavan asking us Can We do it again? N All Guys replied.. yes.. Sure

The Entire hour trek is filled with beautiful scenery and landscapes. Ancient temples, monuments and breath taking views attacts u. But U must be Nature Love for all things to do.

Jay Shivaji…..Jay Bhavani…
