Wonderful trek of Harihar or Harshgad
Harihar Fort的点评
点评：*Wonderful Trek to Harihar Garh*
*Harihar aka Harshgad*, almost 80 degree *standing, stone staircase (Katal Jina)* I was confused,whether can I would be able to climb it? (or can I descend further??); ultimately I decided to go.(Recently I had done the difficult trek to Phugtal Monastery in Zanskar Valley, so the confidence was boosted; another reason; more on that in my next blog!)
Finally, through the organization *Trek and Trail*, I and my classmate Dr. Hema and neighbor friend Jagdish and his wife Renuka , four of us decided to join the big group.
We reached Kasara at 12:30 pm , by a slow 10.22 pm kasara local, from Mulund.
Most of participants had arrived by the same train. The average age of all was 22 to 30. I (and Hema) was the eldest i.e. 61 years old and the youngest was a sixteen year old boy.
From there, we freshened up at Baba's dhaba(eight people in a jeep), we reached the foothills village of *Nirgunpada* after about two hours in two jeeps.
(On the Kasara-Khodala route, 1 km from Devgaon, if you take the Khodala-Take Harsh route on the left side, Niragudpada is a village at the foot of the fort. The first route is from Nashik to Trambakeshwar and the second route is also accessible from Harsh Wadi)
We were accommodated in the long porch of a house in the village.
We reached before time and rested for a couple of hours. Even though I was awake all night, I didn't feel tired, it was very cold there. The biggest problem is the morning ritual!
I thought that we have to go to the field . Fortunately, there was a well-built but Indian-style toilet in the distance. Meet in the dark in the mobile torch; When using it, I was not used to squatting and it was very difficult. But somehow I managed it (thanks to my yoga and gym.)
On arrival, a four and a half foot venomous snake lying dead on the road was shown by the accompanying villagers.It was really scary!
At 4:30 an , the landlady got up and made excellent onion poha. Although I am not used to breakfast so early, I took it for energy (with very sweet jaggery tea). Taking it, we set out through the Nachani field in the light of mobile torch and headlamp. A farmer uncle came to show us way to the base.
Later, I got tired while climbing the hill which had a high gradient from the beginning. We were climbing in our style, stopping in between.
I remember my MBBS days.From first MBBS we used to do many treks with our professor Deodhar and Bharadwaj sir.
And after about one and a half hours, that scary staircase of stone,stood in front of us. The way to get to its first step was very difficult (almost rock climbing). But actually climbing the steps was easier than anticipated . After entering through the upper Kesari gate, I felt rapturous as if I had ascended the fort and the panoramic view of the valley was delightful. There was a cave with a stone roof and one side open. There were many steps to climb again (177 steps in total).
The sun had just risen, so even though it was cold in the fort, the atmosphere was warm.
There is a Vetal temple on this fort. (If it is the month of May, you can eat the wild fruits of Karvanda.) After the climb, there is a small lake to the east. There is a temple of Hanuman on the bank and a statue of Mahadev and Nandi on the side. There are 4 to 5 water-filled water tanks around. Kapdya Hills and Brahmagiri can be seen in the east. To the south is the Vaitrana Valley. This fort is 3676 feet high. It was built in ancient times and was under the control of the Nizamshah of Ahmednagar. When Shahaji Raja restored the Nizamshahi in 1636, he also won this fort along with Trimbakgad.
Seeing the ranges and mountains of Sahyadri reminded me of Shivaji Maharaj, I felt a thrill and it felt worthwhile to have taken such a risk.
But ....... we didn't know what crisis was ahead.
After eating a little, I started going down the stairs.
When one of us went ahead, she was *attacked by monkeys* and checked all her pant pockets, opened her bag! Another girl who went after her was similarly attacked. I was also attacked by three monkeys. Monkeys opened the chain of my backpack and took out the toothpaste and brush (I think he didn't like the brand and threw it away.) Three monkeys sat on my back and started pulling me. All T-shirts and soft drinks, water bottles in a girl's bag pack were thrown away. Then some boys brought sticks and they chased the monkeys away.
The experience was very terrifying, as the monkey held us up on that difficult vertical ladder like a pass. So they thought that if the bag is gone, some people threw the bag down and gave it to their friends standing below.
(Organizers should have said not to carry bags on the way up )
There was a lot of trouble while coming down because of the very sleepy trail.
At 61, the entire group felicitated us both with flowers for seeing our guts and inspiring everyone; it felt worthwhile.
After coming down, delicious food like fresh fenugreek and flower vegetables from the field, polli, dal rice, was served in the house where we stayed in the morning. Even five star food would have paled in front of it.
Now seeing the photos and videos of this trek, many people; Why go after this issue?
Why?
I said why not?
It is a very valid point to observe complete security. (It is dangerous to make a selfie or reel in a difficult place).
There is no such indescribable joy unless you finally venture out of your comfort zone.
Ultimately it's all personal choice.
*If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away.

翻译：*精彩的哈里哈尔加尔徒步之旅*
*哈里哈尔又名 Harshgad*，几乎 80 度的*站立式石阶（Katal Jina）*我很困惑，我是否能够爬上去？（或者我可以继续往下走吗？？）；最终我决定去。（最近我完成了前往赞斯卡山谷的普格塔尔修道院的艰难徒步，因此信心大增；另一个原因；更多内容请见我的下一篇博客！）
最后，通过组织*Trek and Trail*，我和我的同学 Hema 博士以及邻居朋友 Jagdish 和他的妻子 Renuka，我们四个人决定加入这个大团队。
我们于下午 12:30 到达卡萨拉，乘坐从穆伦德出发的 10.22 点缓慢的卡萨拉当地火车。
大多数参与者乘坐同一列火车抵达。所有人的平均年龄在 22 至 30 岁之间。我（和 Hema）是年龄最大的，即 61 岁，最小的是一个 16 岁的男孩。
从那里，我们在 Baba 的 dhaba（一辆吉普车上有八个人）休息，乘坐两辆吉普车大约两个小时后，我们到达了山麓村庄 *Nirgunpada*。
（在距离 Devgaon 1 公里的 Kasara-Khodala 路线上，如果您在左侧走 Khodala-Take Harsh 路线，Niragudpada 是堡垒脚下的一个村庄。第一条路线是从 Nashik 到 Trambakeshwar，第二条路线也可以从 Harsh Wadi 到达）
我们被安置在村里一所房子的长廊里。
我们提前到达并休息了几个小时。尽管我整晚都没睡，但我并不觉得累，那里很冷。最大的问题是早晨的仪式！
我以为我们必须去田里。幸运的是，远处有一个建造精良但印度风格的厕所。在黑暗中用移动电筒见面；使用它时，我不习惯蹲着，非常困难。但不知何故我做到了（感谢我的瑜伽和健身房。）
到达后，随行的村民向我展示了一条四英尺半长的毒蛇死在路上。真的很吓人！
凌晨 4:30，女房东起床，做了美味的洋葱 poha。虽然我不习惯这么早吃早餐，但我还是吃了它来补充能量（配上非常甜的棕榈糖茶）。吃完早餐，我们在移动电筒和头灯的照耀下穿过纳查尼田野。一位农民叔叔来给我们指路。
后来，我在爬山时感到疲倦，山坡从一开始就很高。我们按照自己的方式爬山，中途停下来。
我记得我读医学学士的日子。从第一次读医学学士开始，我们经常和 Deodhar 教授和 Bharadwaj 先生一起徒步旅行。
大约一个半小时后，那段可怕的石头楼梯出现在我们面前。通往第一步的路非常艰难（几乎是攀岩）。但实际上爬楼梯比预想的要容易。从 Kesari 上门进入后，我感到欣喜若狂，仿佛自己登上了堡垒，山谷的全景令人赏心悦目。那里有一个洞穴，洞穴的屋顶是石头的，一侧是敞开的。还有很多台阶要爬（总共 177 个台阶）。
太阳刚刚升起，所以尽管堡垒里很冷，但气氛却很温暖。
这座堡垒上有一座 Vetal 寺庙。（如果是五月份，你可以吃 Karvanda 的野果。）爬上去后，东边有一个小湖。河岸上有一座哈努曼神庙，旁边有玛哈德瓦和南迪的雕像。周围有4到5个装满水的水箱。东边可以看到Kapdya山和Brahmagiri。南边是Vaitrana山谷。这座堡垒高3676英尺。它建于古代，由Ahmednagar的尼扎姆沙控制。当Shahaji Raja于1636年恢复尼扎姆沙希时，他也连同Trimbakgad一起赢得了这座堡垒。
看到Sahyadri的山脉和群山让我想起了Shivaji Maharaj，我感到很兴奋，觉得冒这样的风险是值得的。
但是......我们不知道前面有什么危机。
吃了一点东西后，我开始下楼梯。
当我们中的一个人走上前时，她*被猴子袭击*了，她检查了她所有的裤子口袋，打开了她的包！另一个女孩跟着她也遭到了同样的袭击。我也被三只猴子袭击了。猴子解开我背包的链子，拿出牙膏和刷子（我想他不喜欢这个牌子，就扔掉了。）三只猴子坐在我的背上开始拉我。一个女孩背包里的所有T恤和软饮料、水瓶都被扔掉了。后来几个男孩拿着棍子把猴子赶走了。
这次经历非常可怕，因为猴子把我们像通行证一样举在那条困难的垂直梯子上。所以他们认为如果包没了，有些人就把包扔下去，送给站在下面的朋友。
（组织者应该说上山时不要背包）
下山的时候很麻烦，因为山路很昏昏欲睡。
61，整个团队都送花给我们俩，感谢我们看到了勇气，激励了大家；觉得很值得。
下来后，早上，我们住的房子里供应了美味的食物，如新鲜的葫芦巴和田野里的花菜、波利、扁豆米饭。即使是五星级的食物也会黯然失色。
现在看到这次徒步旅行的照片和视频，很多人都在想；为什么要追寻这个问题？
为什么？
我说为什么不呢？
观察完全安全是一个非常有效的观点。（在困难的地方自拍或拍照很危险）。
除非你最终走出自己的舒适区，否则没有这种难以形容的快乐。
归根结底，这都是个人选择。
