There is an important update on Bhimashankar trek via Shidi Ghat. There were two routes from Khandas to Bhimashankar, one is Ganesh ghat and other is Shidi ghat or ladder route. Now, everyone including trekkers, pilgrims and locals are requested to not opt for ladder route as ladders collapsed due to landslide in the area.

The Palasdari waterfall near Karjat is located at quaint and charming Palasdari village.  Few call it Palasdhari waterfall or Palaasdari or Palasdhuree. The waterfall is the hidden gem in the surrounding hilly area of the village.

Most of the friends and blog gave itinerary of 2 days only. But, we wanted to do Bhimashankar Trek in one day from Khandas i.e. Karjat side. We were interested in difficult route of Bhimashankar Trek via Shidi ghat.

Like every trekker, I wanted to explore this massive beauty – Harishchandragad fort. As usual, I asked my team to plan Harishchandragad trek on weekends. It is a very special fort for every trekker due to the awesome Konkan Kada and evening Sunset at this place is a very unique experience. So we planned for Konkan Kada camping this time.

Monday morning, I received a message as “Worst Harihar Trek Experience” from one of my friend (will not mention the name) and then later it was a trending topic on facebook and many trekking Whatsapp Group which I am part of.

Here is the Harihar Trek Pictures that went viral on Monday (24-06-19).

It was the winter and first Sunday of December 2013. After so many treks, my friend and I decided to challenge ourselves to the next difficult treks near Pune. Then, we chose the most difficult Dhak Bahiri Caves trek near Pune. It was indeed a terrible choice and for that, we started planning one week before the execution date.

We searched for many travel blogs. We found one good trekking blogs on Dhak Bahiri trek by duo friends. This was a good reference to mark pinpoints of the Dhak Bahiri trek. But, this time route was not the challenge but the rock climbing patches.

We planned our Raigad Fort Trip on 1^st May of 2016. We chose this day as you get a holiday on 1^st May and the second reason is the Dhol Tasha celebration on Raigarh fort top. Everyone was excited to explore the massive fort and the additional dhamal, masti during the Raigad fort trek. Before visiting any place, I collect information about the place and here is the snapshot of the same.

There are many bike ride routes from Pune. But, this time my friends chose Pune to Mahabaleshwar Bike Ride option. Many friends recommended Pune to Mahabaleshwar by bike. Before visiting Mahabaleshwar, we searched for Mahabaleshwar bike ride blogs for guidance. To our surprise, we hardly got any info regarding bike ride blogs. There were other blogs on the road trip to Mahabaleshwar. Thus, I decided to write a blog on the same after my visit to guide other bikers of Pune.

I was enjoying three days holiday in Alibaug. There are many awesome beaches in Alibaug and we chose Revdanda beach camping for overnight stay. While searching best places to visit in Alibaug Google, I saw a few Murud Janjira photos and then confirmed our next day plan of action. Next day, we planned Murud Janjira fort visit early morning to avoid the summer heat.

Pune is the most happening city and also a great start point for many bike riding routes such as Bike Ride to Lavasa. On weekends, you will find many riders on Mumbai – Banglore highway heading towards their destination, riding bikes to satiate the thirst for the long ride. Usually, there are many Royal Enfield groups, which is also a good option to join if you don’t have any friends in the city but I ride with my friends only. Mostly, bike ride organizers have their own rules. You can check my blog of Pune to Goa bike ride.
