After a long wait, rainy season started and we decided to have some small fun trek. There was a gap of few months in between our trekking. This one was like a starter even though last month I had been to Sinhgad.
Initially, almost every member of our group shown interest to join for this trek. But as usual almost everybody dropped at the last moment, leaving 5 of us.. TeJa, Atul, Sam, Dusty & I. Initial plan of going by Car and/or Local was cancelled and we decided to go on bike. Sam did not manage to get a bike and he dropped out on Saturday morning.
So finally Dusty and I on my (BIL's) bike and Atul & TeJa on Atul's bike. We met at Nashik Phata and started for Malawali. Though there were enough clouds that day, but no rain at all, some drizzle on the way.. thats it. Even the waterfalls on the way were very very small, discouraging us to go towards it.
This was Dusty's first trek after really a long time and first with our group. Atul and TeJa took the regular route, whereas I took Dusty on the shortcut way. After some time, Dusty called me and asked to shout. I thought he wanted some fun and I did. Then he said ," I am able to hear you, but not able to see you." Then I realized what might be the problem. Dusty was on "low sugar" because of this sudden exercion. We had our break fast at the base, but I guessed it had not yet enrouted to the blood level. I asked him to lay down there, close eyes and take rest for 5 minutes. Within 5 minutes, Dusty was on his feet. After crossing the small hillock, we had energy nutribars to refresh ourselves. Apart from this, the trek was a regualr one. Lohgad is now easily approached from Lonawala with a good tar road. Hence very much crowdy.
The food at the base (bhaje) was awesome and delicious.
I did not take my camera, but Atul and TeJa did. As usual, both have not shared the photos yet :)
