Day 1

We boarded the 9.58 pm fast train from CSMT to reach Karjat by 12.02 am for our trek! I'd invited alot of my friends who were trekkers and non trekkers for the experience and it was so much of fun! I realised that I'm a source of light to many people in this world and it's important to continue to spreading this light even in the darkness! ( a trekker told me that he came for this trek simply because of my ability to draw people and gather them even though I wasn't leading this trek. ) ( This also reminded me of my Malhar Days when someone told me that they were participating in the Contingent only because I was the Leader ).

Day 2

We had to wait while our autos arrived and then had a 30 minutes ride to the Base village of Peth. We then had some coffee and left for the trek. On the way we sang songs under the beautiful full moon, enjoyed the fireflies, had some interesting conversations, and climbed a Fort! By the time we reached the summit it was sunrise!

The descend was much faster ofcourse and we had ascended from the back side of the fort so we descended from the front side and this helped the trek become much easier.

Once we had descended we had missal pav for lunch and then I dragged my friends to make reels! We then headed to our autos and these took us back to the station from where we boarded the 1 pm train back to our homes!

A few new things I did during this trek was climbing a tree, rolling in cement and babysitting an 8 year old kid. 😅

This trek was organised by Atmos Travels.
