Dear All,

We @ शिखर वेध are glad to announce a day BIKE Trek to Ghangad & Telbaila on  Sunday 3 March 2013 … Hope 2 c u there

Details r as follows
Brief Introduction about Ghangad / Telbaila:-

Height: ~ 3000 feet / 3322 feet
Grade:  Easy/Easy
Time: ~ Max.45 min from Ekole / Max. 45 minutes from Telbaila
Location: Lonavala Region

Ghangad is situated on western side of Mulshi river, which is called as Kobarse Maval. This fort is surrounded by Korigad, Telbaila and Sudhagad, but still lonely and separated. There is not much documentation explored about history of the fort. Earlier it was with Koli Samant, then with Adilshah and later with Marathas.

Telbaila is basically a watch tower built to guard over the Sahwashni ghat near Pali. It consists of two rock walls , the left and the right clearly differentiated by the col in between. There is a temple of local goddess at the base of the twin wall. There are lot of ancient man made water tank & caves at the base as well as on the climbing routes. Though not of much historic importance – the rock walls of Telbaila offer great rock climbing opportunities of technical grade.
