Nashik region in Maharashtra is one of the most beautiful places during the monsoons , with trek routes like kalsubai , alang madan , sandhan valley ,ratangad , hasrishchandragad near it ..it surely is trekkers paradise Ratangad is probably the most beautiful of them all , with river ratna at its base and yellow synthia flowers hijacking it in septmeber …it surely is the jewel fort check out  http://offbeatsahyadri.blogspot.in/   or  http://www.trekmatesindia.com/

One fine Saturday evening when I was busy searching restaurants for dinning with my buddies , I received a call from zeenath , our treklead from offbeatsahyadri  , asking us to join for a pilot trek in the mahabaleshwar region .. I agreed instantly. I was to join zeenath , priti (another trek lead from offbeats) and the group in panvel as ascend was from konkan region and descend in mahabaleshwar …sometimes journey from pune to Mumbai is more tiring then the trek itself ,but joining pilot trek with zeenath and priti was far more tempting …zeenath and priti have been trekking since last 4 years every weekend and sometimes even for weeks continuously …with experience of more than 350 treks , if there is anyone you would want on a tough trek with you its these two amazing trekkers ( we don’t recognize zeenath and priti as girls J ) So cought late night bus from pune at about 12 reached panvel by 3 ..zeenath  and vishal joined in from lonavla, priti had bought a vehicle...
