Base Camp
Maharashtra, the Kingdom of the Great Maratha King “Shivaji Raje” is called the ‘Land of Forts’ and rightly so,
the state is a witness to the presence of more than 350 forts. The rough edge of the black basaltic rock or ‘kaatal’ reveal their essence in every season, and makes the adventure worth exploring!
The topography of the Sahyadris has its eternal connection with Maharashtra and the effect of history of rulers, coupling which has given the construction of the most magnificent forts, each having history of its own. These forts, accentuating the mountains and the coastline both, unveil the black magic of Sahyadris through the weathered yet strongly rooted structures. One look at the still standing cadres cannot but help make one imagine the beauty and the grandeur of these magnificent forts during the era gone by.
The mere experience of every single component of these ranges cannot be engulfed in one single visit. The vast expanse of the fortifications and the limited time frame, restricts the content that a trekker’s heart desires!
Trekking…a word carrying the answers and the only way to get the best glimpse into nature, unwind the untouched tangles and revealing nature in its distinct forms. And trekking in the rugged terrain of Sahyadris is indeed more than a privilege…it’s a way of life!
We are a Mumbai based trekking organization, and we are as longing as everyone out there with a wander lust, to soak the view of these staunch forts, in every climatic condition. It is the pleasantness of the discovery every time and the absolute pleasure to find the reflected expressions on the faces of the enthusiasts that makes this insatiable journey worthwhile. We continue to be in the making, as the nature moulds us into diverse echelons every time. We continue to learn and not master, as we find life and its most important lessons nestled right amidst the “get away” for the most!
What is the flowing mountain breeze telling me..?
This is d era to be, a moment for thee…
As it passes by ,it runs through my soul,
Rips away all the aches, puts me on a roll..
Then I was flesh n blood, now I’m the winds
Freely my body sways, and off we go to free more minds!
As liberated as it can get,
My senses embrace the world, hugs the sky high, kisses the ground wet..
Gushing through the world, letting every mystic unfurl,
Oh! yes feeling as transparent as a pearl,
With a divine tune on my lips, and soothing rhythm on my fingertips..
Let me whisper in your ears, come let me set you free..
Lets for once be weightless, come fly, come be with me..
-THE AFTERMATH
