GORAKHGAD - A TREK WHICH TESTS YOUR SKILLS
Gorakhgad from Dehri After the board examinations, Gorakhgad was a much needed trek for refreshment. Trust me, if you're strong enough (mentally) that you know you can survive, then this place is a complete starting package for you as a mountaineer. We (a group of 9 people) went up there on 25th March, 2017 (Saturday). Gorakhgad is situated in a village called 'Dehri' which comes under Murbad, Kalyan area. Suggested mode of travelling is by private vehicle. Because, the fort is nearly 55km from Kalyan Railway station and in costs you almost same by travelling via private vehicle; the difference is just that, you get more comfort in private transport, other than local public transport. We started the journey early in the morning i.e, at 4.30 am, from my residential place(Panchpakhadi, Thane). It took us around 1.30 hours to reach to Dehri (we took the wrong road so it took nearly 30 minutes to get to the correct one). We started to hike at around 7.15 am from
