Trek to Karnala fort.
Hi People!
It’s all a pleasure to share a beautiful & adventurous trek diary to Karnala fort last Sunday.
Western Ghats are the paradise for the trekkers.
In this Paradise, there is a there lies a scenic beauty called Karnala fort.
It was Sunday morning; so my friends and I decided to make the journey even louder and eventful,.
We started for a Road trip to Karnala from Kharghar, a place near Navi Mumbai.
The road journey began into the Western Ghats on NH17-the Mumbai Pune highway to Goa. The route was scenic with lush green vegetable surrounded by Hills. On the way, we found several group of bikers & cyclers riding along with full enthusiasm. We were rewarded with the great climate and intense views of Sahyadris along with little refreshing showers.
People come up to Karnala to picnic, to watch birds, and to trek. We went to do all of it. The trek is of easy grade with a height of 1,440 ft. It is a good place to trek for the beginners.
We were a group of approximate 40 people to trek along with the trek leaders. We started climbing at 9.30am from the manmade steps in the entrance leading directly to the forest. Before the trek began,
we were well instructed of not throwing litters and plastics anywhere and to carry one’s own waste with oneself.
We were accompanied with people from different age groups. There were people at an average age of 60 years to a little 3 year old kid. This amazed us and inspired to trek passionately. There are people passionate about their hobbies even at the age of retirement and there are people who constructed & developed trekking as their child’s hobby at a very young age.
We being “photoholics” & “selfieholics” did not leave even a single chance to capture ourselves inside te distinct bounty of nature. The walk into the forests was unfailing source of joy.
Walking through the forests, climbing up steps, climbing up stones & steep surfaces made the complete trek vulnerable and exciting.
Finally we reached on the top of the fort and forgot all the stress and tiredness. The cool breeze,
unforgettable views, the valley, mountains were all scenic and eye catching. The fort is an expanse of greenery with a huge elevated structure on the top. Finally we saw an Eagle wondering at a distant hill.
The sight was amazing.
We had food here and rested and played and enjoyed here at the top. The departure time was decided
at 1.45 pm and we had to report the trek leaders at the marker point. Going for trekking with group is
real fun guys.
We returned back to the base and had lemonade at a local stall, waved to the friends we made their,
looking once again at the fort and finally left the astounding beauty of nature and returned back to
Kharghar.
This small journey shall always cheer in the book of my beautiful memories.
Stay tuned! God bless!!..
