Vairatgad: 4th Jan 2009

8:30 am: Our first halt. We needed some hot tea in the chilly morning to rev up the engine :)

10:30 am: We took some time to find the exact route, but were finally seeing the destination.

A closer look

11:15 am: According to the plan, at this time, we were supposed to reach the top. This is where theory differs from the reality :)

12:10 pm: Finally, we reached there. But at a cost. Saurabh, had lost all the power and was dehydrating. The smile on my face was because of the fact that I came to know that I am not the worst :)


Aditya and Saurabh.

12:45 pm: That's Aditya and Me. This is a Shiv temple on the fort. Aditya was reading out the history of this fort from the book that he had.

A view of the Shiv temple from inside. It was burning hot outside, but inside this temple, it was very cold. God, indeed, is miraculous:)

Another view.

That's me. It was Saurabh's idea to click a pic like this. He suddenly asked to look behind as he was inside, and he clicked it. Good pic, I must say :)

4:30 pm: Started to descend now. Certainly happy faces than climbing, especially Saurabh :)
