Rajghad

If you have never felt alive. Not literally like you are walking or whatever living organisms dose. If you want to feel alive from the inside, like u want to feel your breath, your nerves your skin. Then this is the destination you should visit. I have done a lot of things in my life but this one changed my thinking. 

Nowadays people think being alive means doing partying, drinking, listing to loud music, dance, having a lot of friends. But did you feel this is life? Think about it. I'll tell you, when you enjoy all these things and you return to your house that time what you want is peace. You don't want anybody to disturb you. If you had a lot of alcohol but in the end what eases you it is water. You get suffocated by the air inside the pub and you come out to take fresh air that's what makes you feel better. See this is what we want. But, this is the era where we want to do show off on Facebook, Twitter, insta and other social websites. But does that helps u getting what u want? I am not talking about your carrier goals or achieving something it is about us our body about our brain. As brain is always in roller coaster mode. We want our bain to stop at some destination. Where the machine can take some time to cool down. This is what I mean we want in life. 

Finally coming to the point. After telling u all these nonsense but sense-making things. I suggest you visit "RajGhad". It is a nature's treat. You will feel every beat of your heart, your breath, your skin is alive it is breathing. Beauty is unbeatable. U can see Mountain ranges. Fresh air, unknown people becoming friends with no intentions, when you are tired people will encourage you to take one more step. There are many spots where you can sit feel the beauty outside and inside. This is just in the morning, night experience is awesome lot of wezling wind, the moon, stars and silence and the view. I don't have words for this beauty. You will realize what kind of life you are living.

1st and foremost thing I want to tell you is please plan for your stay. For girls also it is safe. You can start the trek at 4. You will reach base at 7-7:30 pm. Then u stay take a rest. Next day morning 5:30 am start visiting spots: Bale Killa, Sanjivani Machi, etc. Sunrise us best. You can see the photos below. 

How to go?

Don't worry about it I know you want to know all the things to carry and how to reach the spot at the cheapest. 

Wherever you are staying just reach Pune - Swargare bus depot. For there you will get Venla bus it is 40 rs. Then from the Venla bus stand, you will get auto it will cost around 150-200 rs to reach the destination. For there you can book your tiffin for your night stay, if you want a tent that is also available, this tiffin and tent will be given to you when you reach the temple at the base of the fort. I'll suggest carrying food for the night from your home or some hotel. The next day morning carry some snacks like lays or cucumber. It will be fresh and your body won't get dehydration. You can have lunch at base. You will get hot food - like pitla and bhakri, rice, thecha and veg. The taste is good. So, don't worry about next day's lunch.

If u don't want to buy food that is also ok as u will get food at the base. We did the mistake of booking tiffin as it was not good. And tent is also available at the base. The tent price is 600 rs at the base. You will get a water bottle at the base but at double the price (Rs 40 at the Base). If your booking tiffin down in the village then you can book a bottle also they will provide everything at the base.

Temple - you can spend the night in the temple as it is free of cost, 20-25 people can sleep in the temple. But a lot of people will be there so no guarantee that you will get a place there. If you are planning to sleep in the temple then you have to carry everything like a blanket, heatlon etc. 

Tent - It is very spacious, 2 or 3 people can sleep. Again, you have to carry a blanket. They will provide a tent with heatlone.

Another option - You can get auto directly from Swargate to Rajghad village. It will cost around Rs 900 for a single trip.

Note - There is no washroom or toilet on the fort. U have to find a place and do it. Don't worry u will get many places where no one will come at that time you have to do it or stay still. 

Things to carry - 

Blanket, Odomos (safer side bt when we went there were no mosquitoes), sunscreen, body lotion, lip balm. You can carry a mobile changer as in temple You can charge your mobile.
