Raireshwar

Raireshwar is a great trek trail in Maharashtra. This picture is from my 2007 trek. You can see the entire expanse of the valley down, and that day the view was even more cool and breathtaking because of the descending clouds. It was hot and very very humid when we were climbing, but during our descent, we ran into torrential downpour. We pushed on the path and after some time, the rain stopped - revealing this site!
Info- Raireswar is in the Bhor region, near the Walki river. The same river is seen in this picture. There is a Shiva temple and the region takes its name after the Lord - Raireshwar also means Shiva

The Taj on the cobbled path....

and I got an sms "Have a nice day"...

Another day during the monsoons.. its already 9 in the morning, when the clouds decided to hide out the sun.....

Dark and Windy -- Another monsoonic day at hostel

Balcony of the 7th floor of my hostel - just outside of my room. An amazing place to get splattered with the blowing watery mist. The wind is usually strong, but put two-three clothes on the line, and it gets all animated too...
