Trekking to Harishchandragad

I have heard many times from my trekking friends about Harishchandragad. Really wanted to go for trekking to this Fort and luckily last weekend I got that chance. Harishchandragad is the hill fort in Ahmednagar Region. It is on the route of Malshej Ghat.

Monsoon has just started and we were expecting that during our trekking. Rain while trekking, it was an amazing experience. It’s kind of someone has open the natural shower from the sky. On top, it was a really pleasant atmosphere and full of silence – very peaceful. We have stayed in the caves for a night. That experience was also amazing. You don’t have electricity, no light, no fan, and no bed – :) :).

There are many places to visit when you reach to the top. There is an ancient Harishchandreshwar temple. Then we have visited KonkanKada cliff– this place is incredibly good. The view from KonkanKada was really breathtaking. It is an almost 4000 ft vertical rock wall for almost half a kilometer long.. You can see from the photo that while clouds were approaching this cliff and rain from the cloud in the valley. From here you can also spot lots of peaks and other mountains. On the second day, we climbed for Taramati – the second top most peak in Maharashtra. A walk through the misty jungle and climbing towards top was very adventurous. From the top, we can view the Naneghat and other forts as well.

Interesting forts and their history, it was worth to know and worth to visit. Life is kind of perfect here. One can definitely say – everything is pure – No artificial thing. :) :)
