Trek to the Thrilling Kalavantin Durg !! About the Trek : Kalavantin Durg, is situated just opposite to the Prabalgad Fort between Matheran and Panvel, Maharashtra from the sea level of approx 2300 ft. Kalavantin Pinnacle trek is divided into two patches, first is uphill terrain till Prabalmachi where the trek route is divided for Kalavantin durg and Prabalgad. The second patch for Kalavantin hike is vertiginous, as the rock cut steps are very steep and is the only way to climb the Kalavantin Pinnacle. There are no railings or support while ascending 0r descending the durg and thus makes it the hardest part of trek.

          After doing the Lohagd Trek I realized that trekking during the month of October heat could be a tough preposition hence I decided that I will wait till December to do the next trek. However after sitting out for one Sunday I realised my folly because that wanderer animal within me begin to get restless and I started my search for new destination to go for trekking.


I narrowed down to Kalvantin Durg. I always wanted to do this trek but being new to treks  every time when I looked at imposing Pinnacle and those winding stairs my heart used to come in my mouth....


 

and a big question Will I be able to do it?  




but here my wanderer heart replied "DOST  करना तो है ..... क्यों की ...जैसे हर एक FRIEND ज़रूरी होता है वैसे हर एक TREK भी ज़रूरी होता है .

Most of the treks I do generally starts in the morning , However this time the trek to Kalavantin Durg was slotted to be a night trek.The reason this trek was slotted to be a night trek was because the stones of the pinnacles becomes very hot and even the stairs too get heated up due to the harsh sun rays.


On the day of the trek we decided to meet at our Shivane office. Our Horus (My Unicorn, 1 Bullet 300cc & One Ymaha bike )  are ready for going to trek

आज हारपलं देहभान
जीव झाला खुळा बावळा
पाहन्या गा तुझ्या लोचनात
भाबड्या लेकरांचा लळा
