Destination: Rajgad to Torna trek
1. Climb Rajgad and Rajgad darshan
2. Rajgad to Torna walk
3. Climb Torna and Torna darshan
4. Get down from Torna
Journey:
Dadar –Nasrapur (by bus) – Gunjavne (Jeep) – Rajgad (Trek) – Torna (Trek) – Velhe (Trek) – Swargate (bus)- Dadar (bus)
This Trek was Planned on request of Mr.Pralhad who himself was not present on trek due to some official work. We have planned trek 13-14-15 March 2009.
But we were not sure when we are going to leave. At last on 13March2009 at 20:00hrs we decided to leave for trek at 23:00hrs.We all met at Dadar Stn at 23:00hrs.
We got into Bhor Bus from dadar at 23: 45hrs and reached Nasrapur at 5:00hrs.
From Nasrapur we took jeep (Rs 20/-per seat) and reach the base of Rajgad i.e Gunjvne village.It was dark when we reached at Base.We waited till there was light and started our trek at 7:00hrs.For the first time in the trekking history we broke our tradition, we went along the correct path we were not misplaced. Trek route is very simple and if you maintain a constant speed you will be able to climb within 1 1/2 hr.We reached at top around 8:30hrs.Thanx to Climatic conditions it was a very pleasant climate.

Rajgad to Torna
After Rajgad Darshan we had our Lunch/Breakfast (whatever u call it bcoz this was only time in day we had food) around 10:00hrs.We took a nap for 1hr and started descending at 12:30hrs.
From SANJIVANI MACHI we managed to get down and reached road intersection near Pali after crossing 2-3 hills village at 14:20 hrs.Few of us managed to go @pali to fill water.Because after this til torna we wont be able to get water source. We walked about 5-6 hours. The road ends in front of " Budhla Machi". Here one has to climb a small rock patch (not difficult). Ah! We were on the fort finally. It was around 18:00hrs.We sat and saw sunset which was beautiful.
Torna Stay
Since it was dark we decided to saty & have dinner at same place(it was a open space).
We had Camp fire & dinner was done around 19:30 hrs.Finally all wrapped in Sleeping Bags and ready to sleep. There were cold winds running whole night. And suddenly clear sky turned into cloudy. Lightning were seen. We all got afraid of rain. Because there was no shelters available near our place. It didn’t rain & we were safe. Morning 6:30 we woke up & started towards torna (Bini Darwaja).There were rock patches which we enjoyed a lot.
Getting down
Finally we managed to get down at Velhe village from Torna.
We were down around 11:00hrs.
We caught ST Bus from Velhe to Swargate.
And from Swargate to dadar by Bus & reached home safely around 17:00hrs.
In whole journey I will like to thanks Ashwin for his TANG (Orange).
Which he uses to make and give us refreshment & energy every time when we were tired.
We all abused the Internet pages, which did not convey the proper information or rather conveyed misinformation about the rock patches. Rock Patches 60 degrees & 90 degree were not found????
There were Rock Patches between Budhla Machi and Bini Darwaja which have bypass but we climbed it. They were not difficult but if u are afraid of height & not experienced rock climbing earlier this might be difficult for you.
And finally Cheers for all of us.
