Date: 22nd May 2005 Starting Team Size: 7 Returning team size: 7 Loahgad brief: 52 kms. away from Pune, atop an impressive hill, these majestic forts were built in the 18th century. ridge and are ideal for trekking. Started at 6:30 AM from Pune - Lonavala local, got down at Malavli. Loahgad fort is 9 Kms from Malavli station. Started from the foot of the hill at 7:30 AM. Reached a village about 3 kms from the station...(Could also have driven, only if some one had got a car !!! ). Took some Water, Cold drinks, chewing gums etc for the hot and exhaustive journey ahead. Sun was already bright and Hot. 8:30 AM: Walked for a distance of around 2 kms to reach the foot of a water fall. It was completely dried up. Decided to make the journey more adventurous by taking the dried up path of the water fall to reach the top. Was less dangerous and exhaustive then thought of. But kind of lost the way after reaching the top. Took the directions form the locals there and continued the journey. 11:00...
