Trek to Harihar fort

Monsoon has just started in Maharashtra and we could not hold ourselves to experience the green and lively nature in rains. On 7th July, Abhijit and Rajesh planned a one day bike trek to Harihar fort near Nasik. It was around 280 Km of round journey from Mumbai to Harihar and back. The road that we took was Thane -> Kasara -> Khodale -> Nirgudpada.  The base village of Harihar fort is Nirgudpada. It was my first long journey bike experience and I loved it !

Harihar (approx. 3,676 ft) forms a part of the Trimbak range in Nasik region. There are total 117 steps carved beautifully in the rock patch and you really feel like flying on the wings of the wind when there is a very windy and rainy weather while climbing up the steps. We enjoyed the trek very much! Sharing some snaps...
