JAVAN's Torna Trek:13th Dec 2008

7:45 am: Our first halt on the highway to fill Petrol. Me and Avinash

10:30 am: After a lot of fuss and people losing their way, we finally reached at the foothill. Here we go now !!!

The Torna. Also known as Prachandagad (Prachand = massive, gad = fort)

11 15 am: The heat was out, and so was our energy. One of the guys gave up, just some time before we clicked this pic and he chose to sit in a shed of a tree till we return back. It was a tough decision to leave him there.

12:15 pm: We still had a long way to go.

1:15: Almost reached. Had covered almost 80 % till here.

2:00 pm: This was the real fun part. Cooking Khichadi. A real team activity, especially when there are no girls with you. :)

I don't know whether I was hungry or not, but this was the most delicious khichadi I had ever had. :)

Finally, I was full. :)

3:30 pm: We went to a Shiv temple on the fort.

4:00 pm: Pic clicked on the Zunjhar machi.

4:30 pm: Geared up for going down. :)

4:45 pm: A bit difficult rock patch for novice people to go down. Have to be a bit careful.

6:00 pm: Finally reached the foothill. Began our journey back. It was an awesome experience.

7:30 pm: It was not destined to go happen smoothly. One of the bikes' rear brake failed. Fortunately, it was not a severe failure and after some working, it got normal.

In a nutshell, a place worth going. You will surely not regret it.
