Trekking is something i always disliked all my life till now ..
I had some kind of misconception brewing within that why risk your life in climbing a rocky terrain surrounded wid deep valleys jst to derive some kind of pleasure whn thr r so many worthwhile things to do tht to widout risking ur LIFE !!
Well i was proved wrong .. my friends somehow managed to convince me to come on a trek to Sinhagad Fort as in" did i hav neother option ??" haha ..
We slept li'l bit early the previous nite nd jst to make sure tht v get up on time all possible alarms were set to get us out of our beds on a fine, cold sunday morning :(
Man i actually got up at 6.45 am almost an unimaginable thing to happen tht to during vacations !! But it happened with almost all of us ( two exceptions though :D) .. Finally v were all set to leave for trek nd v strted off by taking ricks to someplace called Rajaram Pul (dunno if i'm spellin it correct but thts wht i heard ppl sayin :P) From thr we took a six seater to take us to the nadir of sinhagad fort nd v reached thr in some 45 mins ..
Thus the final mission begun - Mission Impossible for me though @ tht time :P at 9.30 am. The initial journey for abt an hour was as good as simple walk on a well paved path after wich v decided to do something thrilling " i was bit scared thn " but who cared to listen to me .. everyone was damn excited abt this nd finally v decided to climb up on the rocks taking an altogether different path thn fellow trekkers .. after climbing up for few mins i strted gaining confidence .. i thought tht i was unnecessarily makin fuss out of it as it wasnt tht IMPOSSIBLE a thing as i thought b4 ..
After a short halt tht v took at one of the tapris to rejuvenate ourselves wid lemon juice nd cucumbers two of my frnds discovered another exciting route towards the summit (dunno if they thought themselves to b columbus or something finding out new path nd breaking my newly found confidence every other min.) Man ! This time i was truly screwed up ! It was a steep way nd i fear looking down from gr8 heights .. nd as stupid as i am i did ponder down to check w/e my frnd is thr or not nd GOSH !! my legs strted trembling .. i cudnt climbup nor cud i get down thnks to my GLIDERS i was sporting tht day wich helped me the least to get a strong grip .. but finally made up somehow nd there i stood at the door of sinhagad fort all alive widout a single scratch ..
