siagad picnic

Siagad, also called Sinhagad,is a place in the outskirts of Pune, it has huge historical importance, as Shivaji Maharaj once had his Fort there. This weekend we went to this place for picnic. we planned to leave home by 9, but u know, saturday morning, waking up early , how it is... so as usual we got up late, but somehow, managed to get out of our house by 10 or so.. Had to go till swargate n take a jeep to the place. evderything was well n good until we reached the siagad village, then we had to go to the top of the mountain, the worst thing was the road , it was sooo horrible, n good God, sooo steep, i really had butterflies in my belly!!! Anyway, finally we were on the top(Of the World!!). The view from there was nice, though i cant call it amazing, Only thing we kept wondering was , how come the fort was built there , at such a height in those days!!!
Our Jeep dropped us at a place from where we had to go all by ourselves , to wherever we wanted. we took off from there , n started roaming around n clicking photos, my sis was a bit concerned, n was persuading not to go here n there, but to no use. Aman (my jiju) n me kept goin on and my sis had to follow! after sometime we got soo tired!! Started feeling the heat then, it wasnt easy!! but it was Fun. Though u cant find any fort, there are just few traces of the remains left , u can see. After all the roaming around episode, we finally found a spot where we can just sit, under some trees, then a lady approached us asking if we would like to have something, Lassi, Dahi, Kanda bhajis(Onion Pakodas) etc..we ordered some n ate them sitting there. we set off on our way bak, got down n down n down all the way through the disastrous road. From there we went to Khadak-Wasla Dam, relaxed for some time on the shore, there were many people there, did not feel like staying for long. Just played for sometime clicked some snaps n were bak to the abode quite tired , but feeling good!. ByeBye..
(shall upload the pics soon)
