"Wow" That is the feeling i felt when i reached that cliff. A total surprise to discover that place. I was searching for some old fort and caves, and i discovered an amazing landscape. Reaching Pune for the first time i planned few milestones for the weekend. Harishchandragad was one of them. I learned that time that distances are really big in India. That is a huge country, and full of treasures. It took about 5h to reach the closest village with a taxi. The last 2h were dirt roads. As a new trekker in India i wasn't ready for the long path climbing the mount. I went through a beautiful river which must be amazing during monsoon. After about 2h i finally reached the plateau and i could see some kind of village. I am always surprised and grateful to find some sort of retail stores selling bottles of water in the middle of nowhere. On the border of that tiny village, the ruins of the temple of Harishchandreshwar, the temple of Lord Shiva, were lying down. Still nicely preserved, some say that it is 4000 or 2000 years old. Missing internet connection, i had hard time figuring out what else to do. Then i noted that few people were following another path, a little further... i followed them. Another 20 minutes to arrive to a breath taking place. It was already about 5pm and the sun was just in the middle of a huge bowl, and me on its border. Down in the valley, a little river pointing the sun. The cliff is sharp, high and embracing the sun. That is a big moment and that time i decided to buy a drone to never miss again such opportunity. Since the sunset was not far, i had to go back. My driver was waiting and i wasn't prepared for a camping at all. I tried my best to catch it in a single shot. I hope to come back and stay at least one night soon... #harishchandragad #harishchandragadh #harishchandragadtrek #harishchandreshwartemple #harishchandreshwar #trek #cliff #fort #temple #cave #pune #taxi #maharashtra #wow #amazinglandscape #india #travel #life #sun #beach #summer #vacation #vscocam #sunset #sky #nature #amazing #fun #travelGram #loveToTravel #travelDiary #natgeoyourshot #natgeotravel #travel360 #airasia #vsco (at Harishchandragad Kokan Kada) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bw_JSTsHVBs/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1gdw5mk6vyep9
