Euphoria

Summer, you all will agree, isn’t a best time to trek in deciduous forest hills in Sahyadri. However, sometimes, when the company is great, you don’t really think of what the weather condition is.  Shishir – one of best friends – and I had not trekked together since Oct 2008 and hence decided to trek together – along with Amogh (new entrant to trekker fraternity) to a long pending “Ajoba hill”. We had seen this huge hill from Harishchandra gad, Ratangad, Kulang gad in the past but never ventured a trek there until recently.
