I am travel freak but due to my work i can't travel a lot, but whenever i get the chance I grab the opportunity.
Again fortunately after few days of hard work for my project, I decide to get some chill pill, and made ticket to Lonavala from Hyderabad.
I love to travel in train and i prefer sleeper class because of the 2 reasons 1st i love the sound and watching tracks in open air, and 2nd i don't want to tighten my budget by booking ac tickets.
I booked my ticket 10 days earlier but i didn't get confirmed ticket, taking chance and on my experience of train tickets I booked it, by the day of journey my ticket was not confirmed, it was RAC, no issue i have already made my mind.
I took train 17032 at 8:30Pm from Hyderabad Nampally station, which is going to drop me next day 10:40am.
After boarding found my seat (half) and sat there and dropped a post on whatsapp which changed my planning.
I got company for my journey, initially I planned for solo, but my sister offered me her scooter from pune,in return she joined me for the trip. But scooter and Lonavala is perfect match, so from now my plan became our and i became we😄.
After all settlement, I decided to de board at pune instead of lonavla and from there we will start our journey together on scooter.😍
After not so good night with my rac co traveller, i woke up at 7 freshen my self in train and got ready to meet siso. She wass about 45 mins away from station so I contacted her and got the route location. I de boarded at pune station at 9;05am and tried to search some public transport to reach siso place (pimpri) but it was not easy and i was running out of time so got Ola and paid around Rs 230 and reached there.
Met sister, greeted as she already I changed and started our trip at 11:00 Am from Pimpri.
I don't posses driving license so i she ride the way, we filled her scooter tank with Rs 320 petrol at Pimpri and started. She was riding and i was navigating her though Google map.
On the way we decided to visit lohgad fort at first which was only 42 km from pimpri, so i turned on my Google map and searched the way for lohgad(Lohagarh) and followed Google map. Location is correct on g map, we didn't faced any problem reaching there, but for reconfirmation we asked some locals for the way.
When we left highway we paid Rs 10 as toll for gram sabha. We proceeded on our scooter for around 3 km of the steep route and then our scooters clutch smelled, without taking risk we parked scooter on the corner of road and started our journey on feet for next 1-1.5 km, the journey was not so easy we sat at 5-6 places after every 5-10mins walk.
After 45-60mins walk we reached Fort and again we have to go for next 300 steps. We were totally exhausted but ready to rock so somehow proceeded and again 25 Rs per person was charged as by ASI for every indian visitors.
We reached at top took some photographs, but due to fog photographs of the scenic view we encountered can not be clicked. But i heart breathing scene, mountain from one side and. Lake at another was awesome.
