Ahupe to BhimaShankar
12,13,14th August 2006
Region: Malshej Ghat & Karjat.
Though everyone gets its share of life, human is such a wonderful and the only one living entity who hardly satisfies with it and always try to do something else...the same thing drove me to have yet another outing...
Ahupe Ghat to Bhimashankar trek...between 12-14 August 2006...
this time with We-Dare group of Dombivli...
We (11) started saturday late morning taking Kalyan-Murbad-Dehri-Khopivli route...just after we began moving from Khopivli village, I got a big life saver when jayesh saved one of my shoe dropped mistakenly in a roaring stream flow...enjoying rains all along the way, ramming ourselves into waterfalls, riverside, we reached Ahupe village 5 o’clock in the evening...
took shelter in Bhairavnath temple, the only dry place we could found out after a long hunt...it was around 8 pm when we got up by Dhol-Taashe sound used to do “jaagaran” in the month of Shravan by few local villagers...
Ahupe ghat is a gentle pass which connects khopivli in the konkan to Ahupe village on the ghats...you get rare thick forest on the way...it has good connectivity to damdamia,bhimashankar in the south and durg-dhakoba in the north...
next day was a bit tiring day for us as we had to cover 18 km from Ahupe to Shri-Kshetr Bhimashankar through Kondval village...
more funny part was heavy rains wouldn’t let us rest for a long,
and I am sure at some instance almost everyone would have prayed rain-god for not becoming so “Meherbaan”...after all,humans have limits and nature doesn’t understand any sort of it...!!!
noticed many changes happened to Bhimashankar...
night halt at wet Dharmshala, self-made batate-bhat/potato-subji dinner, cards play were the highlights of 2nd night stay...
on 3rd day, climbed down Bhimashankar thro’ Ganesh ghat to Khandas...
on demand ST helped us to reach Karjat safely getting rid of arrogant local rickshaw-wallas...
finally got back to home late night to celebrate independence day next day.
