Unplanned trip to Matheran before Lockdown.

Trekk to matheran

Yes we did it.

This was some time ago before lockdown when everything was standard in City. It was the second Saturday, Sunday long weekend. 

 I decided to go for a road trip by bike to explore the outskirts of Panvel Gadheswar lake, which is 18 km from Panvel city.

My daughter Anveya was my pillion rider for the trip; we started at 7:00 am breezy morning, drove through the city reached the outskirt of Panvel.

Beautiful village with lush greenery small road through the town, villagers working in fields, some of them doing household chores. Children were playing on the roadside, it's true glimpses of rural India.

We reached Gadheswar lake, which is beautifully surrounded by 🌲 various trees; after that drove down to dodhani village, which is the base of Matheran hill from the opposite side, generally other access from neral .

We decide to trek huge mountains to access Matheran. Somewhere in mind, there's doubt whether I will be able to climb such a huge mountain at the age of 40? My daughter Anveya is nine years old, and her excitement and courage, added a spontaneous spark of optimism in me.

This is how we started our trek to Matheran hill in 3 hours climbed the Matheran hill sunset point.

It was stubbornness, strong determination & courage of Anveya.Kudos to her.
