Date : 18 - Oct - 2003 to 19 - Oct- 2003.
This was my first camping trip with my cybage buddies. We decided to make camp to Raireshwar, near Bhor about 3 hours journey from Pune. We started from Pune at 7:30 am on 18th. After a 1 and half hour bus ride to Bhor we took another bus to a place called Korle which is another 1 and half hour bus ride from Bhor.
The trek from Korle takes about 2+ hours to reach Raireshwar.
Raireshwar village is home to the historic bhavani temple where Chatrapati Shivaji once took this oath for swaraj. Though not much of the old temple is left, the temple inspires an Awe of the leader who once at the age of 14 decided to free his people from the opression of the then rulers.
Below are snaps of the trip, some which are taken by Siddarth ( Sid ) Pendharkar and some by me..
