Hi,I, Shridhar Purandare, am back with one more trekking destination for travelers i.e. Gorakhgad trek.
We planned it as a night trek. So that difficult steps and valley around them will not make others afraid.
Some information about Gorakhgad At a Glance
We started our journey by 10pm ... Full time pass in the bus with all enthusiastic singers and dancers !!! We met Mumbai group at Dehari .. Few of them left behind to guide us ..
Wee hours provided us beautiful views throughout the trek
Descending was as tricky as climbing ... But we did it successfully with utmost care...
It was time for group photo ... Some brilliant and cute memories will stick to this photo...
Next day we started descending after doing some easy rappelling in front of the caves ... The way and the deep valley was very clear now ... So everybody was very cautious ...

We started the trek around 2am from Dehari .... A girl gave away her will power after 20 mins walk .. Somehow we convinced her to come with us to top ..
The tricky steps way came up and slowed us down .. I and Dhawal were leading way checking difficulty for different patches ...

Finally by 5am we reached caves and everybody Hushhedddd !!!!

As most people preferred to rest in the cave .. Few of us started to cruise to top of Gorakhgad ... The path is again tricky with one rock patch ...
Finally we were on top ... It always provides me joy of accomplishment ....
We also tried few weird things with VJ ... Haha That was funny !!!
