Trekking in Tungareshwar!

On Saturday, me and my friend decided that we go out and do some trekking...So, we planned a lot, searched places that is nearby and that can be covered in one day and we found a place called Tungareshwar , pretty close to Mumbai. (Please click on the title to check out the snaps of this place) So, on Sunday, with some food materials and with full enthu, we started to this place at 0630hrs itself!

Used to get hold of local between the 1750hrs and 1820hrs time itself!! (the time of blast!) So, above 3 reasons are well enough to thank god for not involving me and my folks in this tension...but I am deeply concerned with all families who are underg
