Sinhagadh Visit

We went to Sinhagadh (The Lion Fort) last saturday. Here's how the valley down below looked in the morning. Its a panoramic picture, the first I've attempted: obtained by stitching together 4 individual pics. The Mutha river winds through the Sahyadri mountains towards the city of Pune (left).

The road goes to the top of the fort, which otherwise (i.e. by foot) is a tiring and sometimes hard climb. Although this is a 400 years old fort and more than 2000 feet high, its probably the most modern; there are numerous make-shift hotels that sell anything from buttermilk and yoghurt (in earthen vessels, yummy) to chicken curry and bad pizza.

The road up is not good and Sanju had a tough time since it was her first such ride on a bike. Many times the road touches the valley air and there are few boards dedicated to people who have died en-route. Not very encouraging, but the view of the valley helps. Sanju's nervousness was gone once she reached the top safely and saw the grand vistas.

More pics to follow.
