view and experience from mountain top

 

 After the pandemic, we began a brand new life. It resembled a restart. Winter has just passed, and I my cousin made a fascinating decision. We therefore decide to go hiking. To be honest, it was my first time trekking, and I had no prior experience. So we decide to take help of the some of my cousin’s friends who just begun the trekking group (the trekkers). Therefore, Takmak, which was little farther from Virar which was our first fort. Everything was packed the day before. We had three litres of bottles, sport shoes some snacks and of course bag pack. We were quite eager to go trekking. Around five in the morning, we departed from our house. At the pickup place, several of my cousin’s friends were waiting for us, so we had to meet them. In this way met new people. At six o’clock, the us arrived at the pickup location. We boarded and eagerly anticipated journey started. On the we made new friends who were all nice and made outgoing. We were the youngest among them. by bus we set out from boravali to taakmak fort. We reached at entrance of the fort. At base village sakwar. We started hiking at 9 in the morning. The narrow pass between the farming fields was the most amazing thing you could ever experience. Birds chirping in the trees and insects buzzing in the field we could hear them. Rising sun from mountain, streaming water flowing down from dam into the fields. First it was not that difficult because of path was simple and forest has not yet started.it was dawn when the forest began, but it was still dark since the trees were blocking the sun. it was so quiet in the forest that we could hear each other from a distance. The road had become difficult to walk on due to pebbles and mud and there was no obvious path. It was like ascending a mountain. We had only climbed 500 feet after an hour of hiking; the first climb was 2000 feet, which is a reasonable height for novices. We could see the base town from this vantage point because the sky was clear like calm water and white clouds were floating idly overhead. We continued going while stopping frequently to rest, and our trekking leader, who was quite enthused, kept encouraging us by saying  “ we are almost there. After trekking for almost 3 and half hours we reached at the top of the fort. And what we saw was scenic vista we were treated to was stunning, with green and green colours shades different types and shapes of mountains. Tiny villages and rivers running, as well as little pound and other types flora and fauna. There is so much peace tranquilly in breeze that you may sit there and forget about all your worries and problem as all your hard work just fades away, making you feel alive. We stayed there for a while, took some nice pictures, saw some broken hand cannons and practised meditation before descending the fort which was enjoyable. After descending, we stopped beside a running river and rested for a while before leaving for home. We were taking lots memorise with us. So signing for while this was my first ever blog about my trekking experience I hope you guys like it.
