Ganpati Gadad, Sonavla Village (base)

The Whole Map to the beautiful Kingdom of Ganpati Gadad

Trek planned again by the boys only this time it happened,from over 9 ppl the figure dropped to a measly 4 (since all of them were busy).. however no planning done by me, n hence i dint have to worry much..but still the adrenalin rushing through ma head as usual (like i mentioned in ma prev blog) i cldnt get an ounce of sleep; and here i was awake roaming like a ghost at Prash’s apartment a friend from Chembur where me and my Best-Friend Clive spend the night after an enjoyable, yet humorous dinner that he invited us for with his Uncle (who came from down south for sm work) and his jovial Dad..

I ended up waking them up by 5am and we headed to Kurla Station to catch the Kalyan fast after waiting in line for along time and purchasing a `20 return ticket. Now we reached Kurla station which seemed quick as i had very gud company & clicking sm gud pics out of a running train & dat too early morning,so i was already all charged up & anxious to start clicking the upcoming trek (which i gt sm beautiful photos n video’s of btw,u cn comment bout them later).

Kalote Waterfalls, Karjat

A friends bday and  a plan for a trek the next day..with barely any sleep (cldnt get any due to the adrenaline and excitement) dat grips me bfre ma football matches, outing/trek, or any event that puts me in the driver’s seat... 

So here i was up n awake, leaving home with ma gal at around 5.40am on a cold,wet,rainy Sunday morning.. the plan was that everyone needed to assemble by 6.15am at Dadar Stn, knowing that we have alot of punctual (heavy sarcasm here) individuals in our group , including me at times..bt nly Amit being the one to turn up, as we had to catch the 7.03am fast bound train to Khopoli (which is after karjat)..we missed dat n hence had to wait until 7.53am for da next train (u see the time frame – huge gap)..so we treated ourselves to some vada/samosa-pav and chai, along with a small photo-shoot as well.. Frgt to mention it was 9 of us in total (6 guys n 3 gals)..so here the train arrives and within just 7sec it gets full, and dat too on a Sunday morning dint really expect dat though (hence, NEVER travel by train post 7am)..we somehw managd to catch seats for the women to sit and aftr awhile i got place myself to sit n relax,sm slept; we reached Karjat by 10am (aorund 2hrs journey)
