लोहगड... Its amazing

                    Sandy, Sachin & me had a group chat on Thursday morning, finally we decided to go for the famous Lohgad(लोहगड) fort. I called Vicky to come online but he was quite busy as usual & i told him the plan. He replied that, his dad has some business on Saturday then why don't on Sunday? I thought this plan is gonna fail. At evening Vicky called me & told that Sachin is okay on Sunday. So every one was ready as decided, but i was not sure as usual, on time 'काहीतरी गंडनार याची मला सतत भीती वाटत होती'. See what a confidence i have on my friends.
                    Finally Sunday came, we guys met at Nashik patha around 9:30 & had a breakfast & started journey towards the Lonavla. Enjoyed the riding on Pune-Mumbai old highway. At Malavali we took left turn towards Bhaje Caves which is just 2-3 km from highway. Seen Bhaje caves & somebody told that Lohgad is very near from Bhaje caves & the road is good for bike also. Actually it was raining so we didn't take risk n we didn't want to cover that distance by walking so we decided to go Lohgad via Lonavla. Here we made a big mistake.We travel upto the Lonvla toll plaza after a few meters ahead took left turn & we lost the road. We were moving round n round in Lonavla. We had some snaks n got ready for round n round. Finally a boy told the right way from Lonavla we went to the Bhangarwadi & the road is straight to the lohgad. Between this time vicky's bike was behaving like a bitch.
                    Finally we reached Lohgad, we were completely wet. It was the greate climate. it simply feeling like being in heaven. We enjoyed the Fort, i guess its a true fort, means the entrance of the fort is in better condition. Thae view of the pavna dam & tikona hills... speechless. While taking snaps we reached at the top. we moved to the Vinchukata(Scorpion Tail). What it is yaar ? I don't have word to describe it. Then we started to get down the fort. It had heavy rain fall so everywhere there was water flowing. We played in water like a small child. I still remember that moment when vicky & sachin tried to 'drown' me in water. but they didn't success. When we reached at the base of fort, we had a cup of tea. While having tea we had discussed those things which i don't wanna mention. Its very very personal guys... hey not like that, what in your mind currently. Finally we decided to go via Bhaje caves. This track was very amazing cause road was very tricky cause of rainfall. It was my turn to ride Vicky's bike, two times we slipped from the bike. It was awesome. Finally we reached on old highway & had some snacks(only snacks ahhh...) & went to home. Everybody was completely wet. When i came to home, had glass of tea & went to bed.
                    Lohgad fort is amazing. Whenever you plan for the Lohgad i would like to advice you to go via Bhaje caves(if you have bike or haven't).
