Torna Trip



Some days back we went to Torna Fort , Velhe, near Pune.
We started to treak at about 11 in the morning ( which was the biggest mistake) . We had cameras, sandwitches and other necessary things with us.

It took us longer than what we have expected to reach the "MACHI" , then we roam around, visited an ancient temple of Shiva. Some of my friends were frightened to death when they saw some "Ghalaya"!!!! ... the steep portion on forts...

We could marginally cover all the distance in planned time. The result was clear, we couldn't catch up the time, and were late to reach the village.
Torna do have accomodation facility in the form of a Dharmashala, but we didn't stop there.

By the time we reach the village Velhe, the last bus from there to Pune was gone. We ended up staying in a Primary School in a temperature of around 15 degree centigrades. And that too in a dorm classroom using blankets to cover us from cold....

After that incident, some of my friends swared to God that they will never trek with me :)

That indeed was a memorable trip!!!!
