GAIMUKH CREEK

I've been at this place twice before. And I somehow felt like I should write about this as this is can be a best place to find solitude.

Sunrise from East.
'Gaimukh' is nothing but an endpoint of "Thane city", and a part of 'Vasai Creek' flows from here. I visited this place 2 years ago for the first time in my life, and to be honest; it was nothing but a pile of junk. Sadly, I don't have any pictures of the creek from 2 years ago; but now, it has been developed so that citizens can come and spend their time here.

Gaimukh Temple (Downloaded from Google)
The 'Gaimukh creek' is about 13 km from Thane Railway station near Ghodbunder road. There's Gaimukh temple on the way, hence this area is known as Gaimukh.

Gaimukh creek is truly a great place to witness sunrise and sunset. If you go there early in the morning, the cool breeze will please you with a great sight of sunrise. If you stand in such a way that you're facing the creek, then you're facing west direction. So what I want to say is, if sunrise looks so beautiful at this place where there is a jungle of concrete in the east, just imagine how beautiful the scene will be at time of sunset in the evening.

West (Just imagine how beautiful sunset would be)
If you ever visit this place, don't forget to take a good camera with you so that you can capture beautiful snaps from creek. The creek is now much developed so that many people can spend good time there. I cannot grab the pictures as the place is still under construction for some technical issues. But within 6 months, it's going to be one of the best spots in Thane.

I'm displaying pictures here so after seeing these you might add 'Gaimukh Creek' to your bucket list.

Ignore me, and just imagine how awesome your photo will be in this background.

PEB FORT (VIKATGAD)

Sunrise Scenes from the Top After Sandhan Valley, I had planned around 3 treks in the first two weeks of January 2019! Hoping that I'll start this new year with my favorite thing! But you know, luck is something that plays a major role in your life; I was so happy about all the plans I've made, and on the 2nd day of new year, I had an accident. Luckily (see how ironic it is), I didn't break any bone but yeah, skin on my left palm was completely torn out, and all my plans were eventually cancelled. Entrance to the trek, after 156 NM So after a long gap in my 2 consecutive treks, Peb was the first trek of 2019! And trust me, it was best, and memorable. Peb was supposed to be done back in 2016 only, but we cancelled it because one college student lost his life in a landslide during the trek. So, we decided to go to Rajmachi instead. Peb was the shortest, and the fastest trek I've ever been to. Since I was a first timer for this trek, I was completely unaware a

सह्याद्री च्या प्रेमात असलेला मी. गेल्या ३ वर्षांपासून ज्या जागेचे फोटोज बघून "यार किती सुंदर जागा आहे, इकडे आयुष्यात एकदा तरी जाणार"   ही वाक्य बाहेर पडायची, तिकडे जाऊन, तिथुन असंख्य आठवणींची शिदोरी घेऊन परत येणं याला "स्वप्नपूर्ति" असं म्हटले तर त्यात काही नवल नाही.  सांधण व्हॅली ! सह्याद्री मधली एक खोल दरी, आशिया खंडातील क्रमांक दोनची खोल दरी.अत्यंत सुंदर आणि तितकीच भयाण. सांधण व्हॅली ची खोली फक्त २०० फूट असली, तरीही त्या २०० फूट मध्ये सह्याद्रीचं  सौंदर्य ठळकपणे दिसतं ! रतनगड, कळसुबाई शिखर, अलंग मदन कुलंग यांनी वेढा दिलेली अशी ही "valley  of shadows"   म्हणजे   प्रत्येक गिर्यारोहकासाठी अगदी ऑल इन वन पॅकेजच ! नाशिक जवळील भंडारदरा येथील सामरद गावातून सांधण व्हॅली मध्ये जाता येते. सामरदला पोहोचण्यासाठी आम्ही रात्री कसारा ची ट्रेन पकडली. रात्री १.३० वाजता कसाऱ्याला पोहोचलो. यावेळेस चा ट्रेक हा drifters सोबत चा होता, आणि त्यांच्या सोबत मी आधीच अलंग-मदन-कुलंग केल्याने मी काही नवखा नव्हतो. उलट सगळे जुने मित्र जसे भेटले, तशी ट्रेक ची उत्सुकता १००

GHODBUNDER FORT

Gate and Watch Tower So after one full month of frustration and exams, I'm here with a whole new blog with a location that hardly few people know about. Me and my friends came to know about this place through google. We were bored to go to usual places where most of the "cool" crowd hangs out, like 1) Marine lines, Mumbai 2) Bandra Reclamation 3) Gaimukh (More like cheap thrills of marine lines)  4) Hiranandani (Any of it! Except the fact that we only visited Powai) So this time , we came up with something new. We searched google and found out this, "Ghodbunder Fort" . West side of fort Ghodbunder fort is located in Ghodbunder village, near Mira-Bhayandar express highway. It is approximately 23 km from Thane railway station. It was built by Portuguese, which was later occupied by Maratha Empire and then it became the East India Company's district headquarters. The place is called Ghodbunder because Portuguese used to trade Horses
