Camping near Malshej Ghat

Malshej ghat is always fascinating destination for me. I have been there 3-4 times.

But this time, we tried something different.Thanks to Sanjay,Kunal, KJ, Lilo and Viraj.

It was Sanjay's idea of camping there. He has been there for camping I guess.

So he invited all of us this time.

We had no prior experience of camping. In this trip also we were not at all prepared in terms of equipments.

In contrast, Sanjay was very well prepared. He had everything that needed, right from the screw-driver to towing rope.

So we started on Sat afternoon towards Malshej ghat. Around the evening we reached the village, Khireswar.

(Our camp site)

This is the base village of Harishchandra Gad. Near the village, there is a well built , beautiful lake called Saptatirtha.

We decided that we will put our tents near the lake.

The air was cool, the place was nice, the tents were placed and we were very excited.

We built a barbecue..and cooked some veg n non-veg food on that.

So after eating, chatting, boozing, we decided to go for some off-roading, in the Scorpios.

But while returning to the camp, Sanjay's Scorpio   

got stuck in the mud of the lake.

It was the towing rope, Kunal's Scorpio that came to rescue.
After almost 2-3 hours of hard work, we were able to pull Sanjay's scropio out.
And then it was celebration after that.


Meanwhile, during the car pulling episode, Viraj was very much frustrated. Because he thought we wasted a good time in that. But it was fun for us.
I just remember a funny incident.- Viraj after 2-3 pegs down, while preparing a peg for himself, poured some edible oil into his whiskey. And he drank all of that. We were just laughing like crazy after watching Viraj's expressions.


After that everybody was just singing and dancing till 4 o'clock in the morning I guess.
Overall it was a very very dhamal picnic.


I hope there will be more outings like this in the near future. :)
