Intended destination - Igatpuri

When: Saturday14th and/or Sunday 15th July (since some baggars were aksing for Saturday pre-ponement lats time)
Where: place called Igatpuri and Bhandara
(all info and images http://hikebandardhara.blogspot.com/ merci beacoup)









Attractions -
+ Tringalwadi fort
+ Camel valley
+ Talegaon Dam
+ Kalsubai peak - on the way to Bhandara
+ Bhandara - which is 45km from Igatpuri
+ Bhandardara lake (Wilson dam & Arthur Lake)
+ Randh Water falls - 11kms from Bhandara
+ Ratanghad Fort (about 22 km by road or by crossing the dam by boat).


Now obviously it wont be possible to see all of dese - will have to pick and choose depending on advice from the locals and logical reasoning there.










Overnight possibilities -
Why Overnight? - There are a bunch of places to see/ trek around Igatpuri....which would really take more than a single day.
Accom? I 'hear/see' a lot of people stay at

Ganak Motel (has a starting cost or Rs 300 - per room or person I dont know, I would believe its per room - in either case its a decent deal i reckon)

More detail in the upcoming days....


Fevicol tendencies??..(wanna join?) leave email addy and will update yow
