It’s essential to get a dose of blood pumping adrenaline every now and then to keep your batteries charged! Here is a small list of my favorite weekend adventure getaways that will act like the best stress buster pill you could ever be prescribed.
Kalavatin Durg trek, Near Pune
Why: A medium difficulty trek, its a must visit owing to the breath taking landscape.
Scuba Diving and Snorkeling, Malvan.
Why: The waters are warm, clear & full of varied marine-life.
Paragliding In Kamshet, Near Pune
Why: Closest paragliding spot to Mumbai, scenic ghat view, good community of paragliding clubs with experienced instructors; all this and more at affordable prices!
Alang-Madan Trek, Nashik
Why: One of the most difficult forts to climb among all the forts in the Sahyadris; however totally worth it since the view from the top is quite scenic. The top of the fort is a huge plateau with two water tanks on it. There are two caves on the fort for staying and 11 water cisterns arranged in a cascade formation as well as a dilapidated storage room. Generally, not advisable as a first time trek, since its rated tough level for trekking.
