Sinhgad Fort: A Journey of Adventure and Perseverance

⛰️🧗‍♂️🧗‍♂️

On 27-June-2022, I had the pleasure of visiting Sinhgad Fort, located near Pune, Maharashtra, with four of my friends Chandu, Prasad, Lucky and Prem. We had planned this trip for weeks and were excited to finally embark on our adventure.

    

As we started our trek towards the fort, we were greeted with stunning views of the surrounding hills and valleys. The trek was a bit challenging, but we were all determined to reach the top. We crossed several streams and climbed steep paths, but the magnificent views kept us motivated.

After a few hours of trekking, we finally reached the top of the fort. The view from the top was breathtaking, with lush greenery and a panoramic view of the city. We explored the fort and learned about its history and significance in Indian history. We had Special dish 'Pithal Bhakari' and 'Maggie'(noodles) over there.

However, our adventure was not over yet. On our way back, we were caught in a sudden downpour. We quickly realized that the path we took to get to the fort was not safe to walk on in the rain. So, we had to come up with an alternative plan to get back down the hill.

After some discussion, we decided to walk down the road, which was longer but safer than the trekking path. However, the road was still challenging to walk on, with steep inclines and slippery stones.

We kept walking, even though our feet were sore and our clothes were drenched. We supported each other and encouraged one another to keep going. We were continuously seeking for the lift ride but nobody was with that much space in their vehicle to carry all of us.

Still we managed to send one of us at a time. At the very end me and Chandu left and we were completely exhausted and then a bike rider come like a god and himself offered us a ride down the hill on his bike. That time we both smiled at each other as a big as a rainbow and went with him. But that guy was very fancy rider we started riding bike like 'MOTOGP players'.That to on the slippery downhill road. We were too much terrified but had to take it as we were left with no option. Finally reached at the destination with a terrified riding experience. Our perseverance paid off as we finally reached the bottom of the hill after walking for nearly 6-7 km.

As we looked back at the hill we had just descended, we felt a sense of accomplishment and pride in our teamwork and perseverance. This experience taught us that with determination and support, we can overcome any obstacle and achieve our goals.

In conclusion, visiting Sinhgad Fort was an adventure of a lifetime. We not only learned about the history and culture of the fort, but we also learned about the importance of perseverance and teamwork. This trip will always hold a special place in our hearts as it brought us closer together and taught us valuable life lessons.
