Pin Parvati Pass Trek : Conquering the heights

Since last year we sahyadri trek members have been planning to do a himalayan trek together, rather we all were waiting for opportunity to do a himalayan trek with Ajay kaka.                                     Ajay kaka has lead many expeditions in his 30-40 yrs trekking career  ( he has completed his basic and advance mountaineering course even before we were born ) , his stories always inspire us , its always a great privilege to trek with him and doing a himalayan trek with him is like attending the trekking institution , kaka came up with the idea of doing pin parvati pass trek which is not technical climb but difficult enough to challenge ourselves. Some of us were trekking outside sahyadri for the first time hence ajay kaka wisely selected this trek considering ease of access to manali in case of emergency situations. Within a week or so we received 11 confirmations ,1 cancellation...

Buran Ghati : The best of Himalayan Meadows

“with house nowhere, I belong everywhere” I was eating through the pages of “The shooting star” by Shivya Nath, experiences of modern day digital nomad and her travel throughout the globe when pilot made announcement of landing on Chandigarh airport.   Flight from Pune to Chandigarh was through cloud and turbulences and I could see the reason why, when we landed in Chandigarh, murky river and water filled fields were sight which I was not used to seeing in north Indian city at this time of the year, we knew our trek is not going to be rain free. “Depression has been formed in Indian ocean causing untimely heavy rains” Vikram supplied the information, rainfall pattern had been weird this year otherwise this late into the September we should only be getting clear sky and warm afternoon up in the hills. We were in Chandigarh and on the way to Shimla for our Buran ghati trek with Indiahikes, trek rated as one of the most beautiful meadows trek, but with weather like this we...

Canyon Valley : Reign of waterfalls

-
Image
On the way from pune to Mumbai , there is a ghat section near khandala with hills on one side and deep valley full of waterfalls in monsoon on the other side , Ulhas river originates from this valley called as canyon valley or tiger valley or ulhas valley.  Canyon valley trek is certainly one of the most exciting treks , it is unusual as we descend first ,cross the river and then ascend . Descend is from lonavla and (fortunately)trek ends at khandala near kamat restaurant  with delicious south Indian food. This is my 4 th or 5 th time to the tiger valley and every time it’s a different experience.  Almost always trek starts with a nice heavy breakfast at Annapurna hotel in lonavla. Zeenath explained the no smoking and no plastic rule and one special warning “don’t leave the group , if you get lost it will surely take few days before anyone finds out”  .Dense forest and the name “tiger valley” is self explanatory for first timers even though there ar...
