Trekking May 2008 :: Pilgrimage to Jivdani

All out of the blue – on an compulsary official off – May 1st – when all the working white collared colleagues of mine were resting home – a friend of mine was scheming a plan to visit Jivdani Temple at Virar. I have been there lots of times while I was a small kid.
We all planned the trip out of nowhere @2:00 p.m. Decided to meet at Virar @ 4:00 p.m. and head off to the Temple and return home in a few hours.

I knew that there were stairs to climb up to the temple. But as soon as we reached at the base of the pilgrimage site, we some how decided to go off road and make our own way to the top. Some how this ordinary climb was converted into a wonderful trek by us.

Check the pics that follow and you shall get an idea about how exciting we made this simple trip.

August 2007: Trekking Peb – Vikatgad

I need a break !!
The time I wasnt in a situation to go ahead with any more work … I thought of joinin in mOrOnZ Group (Mumbai Trekkers) a.k.a. MoRonz AdvEntUrez
– who are all geared up for a nature getaway almost every weekend…
Trekking Peb – Authored by my friend: Anupama

“The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes.”
Getting away from the monotonous office life is what we MoRonz strive for. And the scaling of PEB / VIKATGAD was one more feather to our caps. Work / Office is part of the slavery to our “Paapi Pet”. Our Adventures together is what we term as “Life”. This time around our adventure started from CST station on 25-08-07. All the moroners were required to report to the station at 11pm and we were going to catch the 11:28 train to Karjat. I arrived at 10:30pm, as the first citizen of our group Mr. Kalpess Bhai had decided to grace us with his presence and give us his blessings. But then he dared to come in a tee which said “I am allergic to morons”. How dare u Mr. First Citizen??.. Iska badla hum zaroor lenge..heh he. And the first thing Mallikaji does on my arrival, is introduce me to Nitin. He he… the portable potty guy… Everyone was most eager to meet him actually…

Trekking Rajmachi – Rappelling Kondana Caves – Authored by my friend: Ruturaj Vartak

As I listen to “Hard as a Rock” by ACDC, my mind swirls back to our “hardcore adventure” trip, waterfall rappelling the Kondana caves!!

Vj again, our PRO !!! had subscribed to a meetup group, which now has been christened as MoRonz AdvEntUrez. He’d asked me to subscribe as well. And these like minded individuals had finally got another meet organized at “Cafe Sea Side”, Bandra. I and Vj had managed to get there late eve, almost 8.30pm 😛 after office, where we were surprised to see a big group already chit-chatting and headed by our Maadu organizer, Kalpessbhai. Guess what had they been discussing !!! Plans for the movie “Sivaji” starring Rajni 😀 The meetup group had managed to find a star, or I don’t know if it was other way round. But the group had Rahul Barve, Well … a star ’cause he was into trekking, camping and adventures for the last 16yrs and was a pro. Another reason why he is a star, u’ll know soon. The group full of enthusiasts, who were kind of first-timers, hobbyists in this field of adventure. And they didn’t want just trekking, they wanted more… Waterfall Rappelling.
