Bhivpuri Trek cum Rappelling

It's a place called Bekare, 2 kms from Bhivpuri station, which is around 80 Km from Mumbai. It's one of the best places to visit during monsoons - Lush but not dense forest, gushing but not violent waterfalls with occasional villages in between.  Nisarga Bhraman made all the arrangements for the trip and there 7 of us from ATK. Rather than writing too much, let the pics do the talk.

Getting ready in the crowded Dadar station..

Reached Bhivpuri station

Wow, what a transformation from a crowded city to this awesome village!

Reached the base camp by auto and now time to trek for 1-2 km by the sides of a stream..

You get occasional glimpses of cattle crossing streams and having a soothing bath!

On the way to the base of the waterfall..

Reached the base of waterfall

Almost on top..

A natural pool to relax at the top.

Time to rappel down!

All friends rappelled down as well..

After the rappelling and sumptuous lunch, we headed for a trek in the rains. Once we reached the top of the hill, we were speechless -the place was completely green with grass, accompanied by mild breeze and drizzle. We lied down in the grass. Yes, one could call it a heaven. (Oops, we didn't take any pictures!)

And by the evening, we were back to base camp and we reached our respective homes by 9 pm! Yes, the Sunday was a real fun day!
