Pabe Ghat Trip

I haven't heard of Pabe Ghat until Jogya told us some interesting stories about it. So, after hearing so much about it, we have decided to visit the place. Contrary to my earlier trips, we made a plan before around 7 days or so and surprisingly kept our words . We ( Me, Kedar, Sneha and Jogya) went to Kedar's place last Saturday morning at around 5:30 AM. It has been ages since all of us saw the beauty of rising Sun, so we chose to go early in the morning. Of course, as expected Kedar took more than 25 minutes to get ready and we slipped off a bit with our schedule. But with Kedar, it is obvious and I have kind of expected this to happen. There is always an incentive when you have a girl traveling with you in a trip, you don't have to bring anything. Sneha, being a typical Puneri Mulgi, bought few eatables and a bottle of water . FYI, that bottle was so small, that one could sip it up in one shot, but you know, girls and their girly things ;-)

After Kedar's typical "I am sorry" apologies, we headed off to Pabe. It's a beautiful place in the curvy mountain roads, usually chosen for biking . Jogya is a regular visitor of Pabe and since he was knowing everything about it, he became our driver-come-guide. After some great scenery and lots of hard turns ( which demonstrated Jogya's driving skills ) we reached to the place. The Sun was about to rise but the skies are already showing the great glory of golden rays. It was an amazing experience to see the sunrise after so many days. We took some snaps of it and parked our car on a mountain top. This place was really great. You can see Torna and Rajgad through a small mountain passage. Since it was a clear sky and a beautiful morning, we could see a sharp range of Sahyadri without any problem, (things which you can't see through polluted air of Pune). I always have a feeling, if you want to really know who you are and where you stand, compare yourself with a great mountain and you will have an eternal feeling of legacy of the creator. I revived this feeling after a long time.

After visiting Chapet Dharan which was built by Dnyan-Prabodhini with the local co-ordination, we went back to Pune. It was a great experience overall, and I am looking forward for more such trips. Kedar, Sneha, Jogya and I will never forget this wonderful experience.
