Harihar One Day Trek

Harihar One Day Trek  - 28th August 2016

So finally we decided to go for the trek since it's an year we have not did outing. I personally feel trek is the option that we should try instead of any waterfall trip where you find 1000z of people yelling at each other around you. So Nikhil & I simply thrown Harihar fort trek on Sumedh & Suhas, surprisingly they said yes. So day was confirmed (Sunday)  & Nikhil & I was smiling since plan was rolling on.

All of us were boarding from Mumbai since Suhas had come down to my place from Pune for the plan. We had boarded in Kasara local from Kurla around 5:15 Am which had dropped us at Kasara around 7:30 Am  so you got the idea at what time we have woken up in morning :p
 
Train was empty we were enjoying the company & talking regular crap & pulling each others legs. Finally we arrived to Kasara station.  From there we took one Van costing 2000 rs, too & fro (500 rs each). Van took 1hr 30min to reach the base village Nirgudpada . Van driver said you guys do trek I am waiting here & we were looking at each others faces because we were clueless about the route & also that thick fog in-front of us made the life bit difficult.  Then one guy came in & our driver asked you guys need guide for it & without taking any pause four of yes screamed YES!!

The whole trek is something around 2 hours journey which is not the cup of tea for all of us. The route was easy,  patchy, muddy,  slippery in short the route was ideal.

After so many breaks by Suhas we have reached the monster staircase of HARIHAR. At 1st view all of us were " let's not do it" but after 2-3 mins we self motivated ourselves & just simply took the 1st step & after that we also don't know when we were at the top of the fort. 

The view from top was all foggy & mystic as expected. We took walk at all the corners of Fort & had snacks around. Suddenly drizzle started & we decided to start descending. 

Those monster stairs still there & this time it was bit more scary since it was raining & the struggle that we need to do because we cannot see the next step of it. Somehow after half an hour we manged to get rid of staircase & feeling relived. Then rest of descending was easy, Sumedh got leg sprained & Suhas got back pain but overall trek was great & fun.
