Rajmachee Forest.........................

Most of the abnormal things which happens in normal life are coincidence,same goes out with our first trip to Rajmachee,This post is just a detail insight of that trip.


2230 Hrs (07/10/2011) :

We were all (Me in middle,Deepak on the left and Gourav on the right) very much (excited as visible in the picture) about the trip as it was our first backpack experience.By 2230 hrs we headed toward sanpada station to reach Thana .By 2305 hrs we reached thana and by 2315 hrs we had a train for Kalyan so it was touch and go from sanpada and somehow we managed to pull everything perfect till kalyan.We reached kalyan by 0000 hrs (a wage figure but that's destiny),so from kalyan we went to the ticket counter to purchase three ticket for lonavala,but there was a huge line even at such a odd time so my brother gourav and deepak started standing on the queue for the  ticket and I went to Railway sahyata box to inquire about the timing of the train and came to know that there is a train after 10 min but the fucking long line was the problem so I went ahead and requested one of the ticket buyer to buy me three lonavala ticket,he looked at me and said "Jkar line me khade ho jayo jab number ayye tab le lena" ,Par meine bhi haar kaha manne thi so then I asked the second buyer & he got convinced and purchased us three ticket for lonavala and we had five min to catch the train and so we started running and somehow we managed to catch the train...............................


0015 Hrs (08/10/2011) :

Well somehow we got into cabinet and deepu was the last one to enter and I was just thinking what if deepu will not be able to get in and when he entered into the cabinet he just asked what I was thinking  and I
smiled very sweetly and then he didn't replied back but this was not the take, the take was that we have entered in Luggage box and there are 4 cops in the box and suddenly we started looking at each other but I think for the first time we felt that cops are also human as they started joking with us and rest all was past,it was 1:30 hrs journey to lonavala and we all enjoyed alot in that cabinet and it was great being with them (The Cops).

0130 Hrs (08/10/2011):

Finally we reached lonavala station and the good and the bad part was that "it was raining" and as we say "men will be men" we didn't had a umbrella or raincoat (as before leaving we had a discussion with God that it will not rain) but we somehow we decided to move ahead with it,but who know the way nobody see how smart and prepared we were wow.Well I think that was the fun of the trip and we asked few local people for the guidance and we got few good replies even (I think Indians are really helpful) and the real journey started...............
                                                                                 But the start was really horrible as we lost the way thrice and it was not easy to make out what to do next and finally we decide to move on one decided path with the help of our map and when we almost walk for 5 kms the actual way for rajmachee started but as it was really dark and it was risky we decided to halt for an hout as it was 0300 hrs and we finalized that we will move by 0430 hrs but the question was where we will stay for 1:30 hrs, so we started foe a new search finalized a tapari (road side tea stall) after being threatened by a faithful dog and I still remember that  gourav heart was in his mouth for that sec but its ok as we say shit happens.

0445 Hrs (08/10/2011):

Some how we started again with a shit which really happened (as deepu ka pressure ban raha tha toh use fresh hona tha) so he finished off his work and we started walking as ghandi ji truly said that a 1000 mile jorney need a step to make it 999 miles and we kept on wlking for kms and kms and it went on for some hrs with a great confusion in our mind that are we on the right track. After some time around 0600 hrs we saw a pump house and there we had a word with the security guy and he guided us that we are on the right track and it will take few more hours to reach the destination,we stayed there for some 15-20 min and moved on ahead, As we all were tired it was difficult to push each other to move further and meanwhile some beautiful sun rays breached  the jungle and suddenly we came to know that we are heaven as beautiful flower,fresh air ,birds chant,butterflies and rest all beauty of the nature were visible.It actually refreshed us like a F5 refresh our desktop and we moved on till we can to see gift of god in  respect to nature.......................


0730 Hrs (08/10/2011):

Finally we decided to halt and the place were mesmerizing as a beautiful river  followed by a deep waterfall with the whole view of jungle with a aadiwasi so in all it was a sum-up of everything which you can imagine on such a natural site.Well we stayed there for a while to find ourselves and understand that what the fuck we are running for but like every other human we had no answer (sorry for being philosophical).So we went into that aadiwasi and asked for a cup of tea and with few gestures and sign we also made them that what we are asking for and they served us a tea which i think was of sugarcane with no water,well you all will think that what this fucker is talking about but yes it was a sugarcane hot tea and trust me it was amazingggggggggggggg.............................


0900 Hrs (08/10/2011):

By the time we finished our tea and started moving ahead we saw a Tata Aria 4x4 and we started signalling him to stop (like we saw a ship from a deserted island) they finally stopped and we started running to them,After getting in the car we had a aahhhhhhhhhh relief.And then we introduced our-self to Annand,Bengali and gutaka (don't get shocked It was there nick names) but the story turns 180 degree here as we came to know that they all were Tata Employee and were here for Car Test Driving as one of the about to launch Tata safari who were being tested was stucked at the top so they were going at the top to pull out that safari with a help of local tractor ahead them and trust me rest was one wild ride with those brave drivers who can drive at any place(as it was raining and the way was pathetic) but these genius pulled it out from nowhere,Hats off to them plus Tata and other companies who do such a intensive research before launching any product but these three amazing driver displayed us something which we will never able to display it(as we can reveal much about it because they requested us to not to tell it to anybody).


1130 Hrs (08/10/2011):

Finally with the Tata's guy help we reached at the top and when we reached  there we were just thinking that how the fuck we will go back as it was really really far far far fuckin it was really far..................................
                                                                                                        We stayed there for a while and met few backpackers who were coming from down and had few conversation with them,Finally we started moving down after walking for an hour we got a Mahindra 207 which had a hood behind so we stood back on the hood and then we had a wild jungle safari as the whole jungle was on a fast rewind mode and we were travelling back fast on time, I must confess God was merciful.We again stopped at the same adiwasi spot.
