Raigad or Rajgad ?:
It was a moment of confusion on reaching Khed, after speaking to various conductors, inquiry sections in the bust stand and the general public not many knew about Raigad nor Rajgad, each gave different answers, we soon realised Rajgad and Raigad were indeed two different Places both in Maharashtra.

Our intention was to Reach Rajgad near Pune, we finally ended up in Raigad.

But Raigad wasn’t disappointing either, just that our initial planning and places to visit had to be reshuffled.

On reaching Raigad we had plans to take the rope way, on seeing the waiting list we decided to trek it up; our turn was scheduled at 1800 hours.

Early during the ascent Guru went out peeing, and a shortcut was discovered.

The group forgot to communicate Guru about the alternate route we intend to take, the group split into 3 and we ended up in a 2 hour delay before re-grouping.
