This time we were doing a relatively easy trek as compared to many other done before only 1410ft approx. We where 11 of us with the usual 7 of us adish , kevin, kartik ,preshit ,tanny,clinton and me and ere further joined by 4 new members Paulson ,ambrose ,Shannon and nitesh .As planned we all meet at kurla station boarded a train to panvel at around 6.45am and reached pavel at around 7.45 am and waited for the remaining ones .Once all arrived we asked the rickshaw fellows about the price to reach us to karnal base they said Rs 200/per rick .Hearing at the price we asked the locals about the busses who suggested we walk ahead and catch any bus that went to ratanagiri or pen .As we were waiting for the bus we must some students from and other Engineering college from Mumbai and then requested the driver to take us all there ,we all sat in the bus the price of the ticket was Rs28 and we reached the base village in about 20 mins.
Once at the base we had to pay Rs20 each to take entry in the Wildlife Sanctuary and they pay an additional Rs210 as a deposit which we would get back if we brought all the plastics, silver foils, bottles back wile coming failing to brining even one item would result in the money going and even an additional fine .As we started our trek few of us where ahead , few of us where seeing the map and realised there was a hard and steep way and a long and easy way so we decided to go by the steep way for that to there were to ways to reach soon keven and kartik shouted" dude we will all take the route from the jungle instead of walking the road come back". Listening to him all started the trek we walked for 20 min and all fell we were on the wrong route soon we seen a sign named transit end but all 11 of us ignored it and moved ahead. Now we reached a spot whose only way to move forwarded was through the waterfall which was dry as it had not yet rained we all begin climbing the waterfall and after 45 mins we reached a spot where we got a trail named moor taka trail which was going towards the left .After looking at the map we thought it would be better going ahead straight .So after a break of 10 mins we had again ignored the path and moved ahead in the direction of the waterfall .Again after 30 mins we where literally losted in the jungle all of us removed our mobiles to get gps co-ordinates(so funny) and soon decided instead of going back we make our own way towards the top.
As we were climbing it became evident that if we would not get a path above it would be a difficult decent still we continued our climb which went through cliffs and rocky patches .After an hour we had reached the fort but there is always an but instead of reaching the forts
entrance we reached behind the fort and the only way was to climb a 6 feet wall .With the rick of something happening we all decided it would be better to descend and catch the correct route .The descent at the top was little scary but our past experience made it easy as it took us an other 1and half hour to reach again at the bottom we realised we missed that left turn that we had got early and we had ignored so we all decided to go north and after 10 mins we got that turn .we all moved along the trail and after 20 mins got the steep route to the fort we all got ready to begin the trak agin at about
12.45 pm we begin our trek it was quite simple and we were at the fort in 1hr and 30 mins .After spening an hour we begin our descent and where down by 4.30 pm .We rested clicked some photos of the birds in the cages took our deposite and waited for a bus. As we where waiting for the bus we got a tuktuk which took all 11 of us to the station .Some of us boarded the andheri and some the CST train and left towards home .It was a good trek which was easy but because of our stupidity we had to trek twice and not to forget our group called Junnar Boyz is extending day by day so happing Treking ...
