We were 5 guys who decided to have a trek. So we arranged 3 bikes from Virar, Mumbai to head towards Naneghat from Virar (10:00 AM Sat) -Thane-Kalyan-Murbad-Basegaon for Naneghat (2:30 PM Sat) which is about 150 KMs.
One of our friend joined us from Basegaon who convinced us to go to Naneghat from a different path than usual trek path.
We started our trek at 3:00 PM on Saturday for Naneghat. We expected the village friend to know the different path but he disappointed us and we lost track. We knew our destination hill and also we could see that from where we got lost, so estimating the path we headed forward from wrong track to right track. At bout 5:30 PM our track combined with the usual track where we can find the arrows and which was pretty easy one.
There are about 3 water kunds (lake types) made by gov for trekkers in between which keeps the hope of availability of water alive. At 6:00 PM the darkness started and clouds started lowering our visibility. But the trek was pretty easy and straightforward and hence we were able to reach @Naneghat at 7:00 PM Satuday.
BEST PART COMES HERE : WE COOKED CHICKEN BIRYANI THERE AND HAD AWESOME TIME HAVING IT
After having dinner there we slept like we have not slept in decades!
In morning, we went for Jivdhaan! and had some following unexpressable experiences:
- RAIN : Such heavy rain, never saw it before like this, "flowing rain"
- WIND : Much more powerful wind that it made all the crabs there fly in air!
- SCENERY : Have been to 5 other treks, all good, but this was something else
- PATH : I have been to hard, easy paths! This wasnt either of them, you have a narrow path to walk in and wind pushes you in east to west direction , so basically if you walk side by side against wind, you would be walking straight :)
Overall, if I am to rate out of 10, then not less than 8/10 probably 8.5/10!
I can ensure that experience wise it would be just UNIQUE!
