Kalsubai Trek - The Everest of Maharashtra
Trust me every last man who likes hiking is always curious when it comes to climbing higher altitudes and especially when you know that the one you are going for is already glorified as the highest peak of the state so there comes Kalsubai in my mind, the highest peak of Maharashtra.
And I am sure when the plan was made every one our group had it in their minds as well. But then you need someone who is already been there to guide you along the path and of course to handle loads of responsibilities. Hence all the planning and execution was done by Omkar, Rahul, and Bhagwan. We owe a lot to these guys. Thank you so much.
Our plan began with a group of 36 trekkers gathering together in a nice and comfortable traveler on a night of 30th November at around 9:30 pm. We hit the road for the base village Bari which is nearly 170 km from Akurdi, the starting point. Singing, dancing, chatting made us forget the time and length of the journey, and at around 2:30 am on the night of 1st December we reached our base village, Bari.
Thanks to google maps I don't need to tell you the Kalsubai trek route. People in the village were so kind and helpful that even in the middle of the night with damn cold weather they opened their doors welcomed us and helped us out with drinking water and initial route to start our hike. Omkar made all the arrangements for the next day lunch post-summit in the same house. You will get much homely mess there ready to serve you. Omkar and Bhagwan made us aware of all the instructions and precautions and we were off to climb at around 3 am.
