Climbing Clouds - Trek to Naneghat

Always wanted to trek between the clouds? We relate. This is why on August 19 we are organising a one day trek to Naneghat. Or as it is fondly called, 'Cloud Heaven’.

What makes it even more intriguing is that the pinnacle of the fort is shaped like a thumb. 

On the way to the top, you’ll witness huge pots that were used to collect tolls from traders and also, many water tanks and reservoirs. You’ll also be treated to the view of the serene Western Ghats and the pinnacle of Vanarlingi from the summit.

About Naneghat:

Naneghat is a mountain pass in the Western Ghats range near Junnar in Pune district of Maharashtra, India. 

While going through Malshej Ghat, we can easily get a glimpse of Naneghat after Murbad. Nane means "coin" and ghat means "pass" as this path was used as a toll booth to collect toll from traders whenever they crossed the hills. The inscriptions in the caves indicate that Satavahana dynasty ruled here and also the Mauryan Empire.

TREK GYANN / ATTITUDE

Staying open minded, positive & faithful

A trek in the forest requires for one to stay positive and open minded at all times regardless of the situation. Mind you, this is not a picnic but a trek in the mountains. Mother nature could choose for the weather and environment to be tough or easy on us. However it is important for us to stay grounded and keep our heads over our shoulders, to not panic and trust the decision of the trek leaders.
