Rajgad Fort Trek, Pune (cont’d)

:: Rajgad Fort Trek, Pune (cont’d)

The trek to the Rajgad Fort, started off with inspiring notes, and as we embarked on the trek, we continued to enjoy (and capture) amazing scenery.

I’ll be adding more of them here, as and when I get the chance, but, do have a look.

Some nice flora along the trails, capture your attention (if you care to look, that is!) Pretty little flowers along the trails... The Rajgad Fort beckons in the distance! Pausing to catch a breath, and the view, as the climb steepens...

As it is just past the monsoons, the grass is dry, and contrasts with the clear blue skies for a lovely frame... Earthy contrasts... Pausing to catch a breath, and the view, as we await the rest of the group Enjoying the view; that's not a drone is it? :) Taking in the scneic views of the surroundings... A group of energetic trekkers making their way with the Maratha flags (and chants) amidst the scenic contrasts The group resumes its mission after the pause...nothing can stop us now!

Trips: Goa – Of Sunsets and Cruises

:: Destinations – India – Goa

Our first day in popular Goa was already off to a great start, with experiences of the old churches that Goa is famed for, the beautiful Mangueshi temple (see the album here). By late afternoon and after grabbing some quick bites and refreshing cool drinks (always needed in humid conditions), we headed to North Goa, across from Panjim to witness more spectacular sights of Goa. See the album below to find out!

Sunset on the Mandovi River, Panjim

Sunset on the Mandovi River, Panjim

 

In this album:

Watching the golden sunset over the Mandovi River, Panjim, as we wait at the pier for a sunset cruise Golden sunsets, dramatic clouds and fishing boats - that's what Goa promises: and delivers - no questions! A picture postcard silhouette of a boat against a sky turned gold in signature Goan-style! A fiery drama of sun against the clouds unfolds, even as boats glide over the calm waters of the Mandovi River, Panjim
Multiple moods of the spectacular evening skies, over the mandovi River at Panjim The sun makes its move; a private yacht stands buoyed in the foreground (Mandovi River, Panjim) The sun is engulfed in hues of yellow and orange of it's own, as it descends on the horizon at Mandovi River, Panjim (Wide Angle) The sun is engulfed in hues of yellow and orange of it's own, as it descends on the horizon at Mandovi River, Panjim (Panorama Trim)
Lights begin to sparkle along the banks after sundown, as we ride our sunset cruise on the Mandovi River, Panjim Tour boats on the Mandovi River, Panjim, adorned in lights - giving that carnival touch (and shake!) to life in Goa Neon signs cast a colorful glow on the waters of the Mandovi River, Panjim Another tour boat like ours - decked up in lights - passes by (as I try hard to have a steady hand on the top deck!)
And another - though this looks a bit eerie in the pic, i'll admit! Yellow and blue tinges, reflected off the lights on a boat docked alongside the banks of Mandovi River, Panjim Lights of hotels and resorts that dot the river bank (man, it's hard to keep a steady hand on board a boat!) Lights, reflections, water, ripples - backed by music. Now, that's Goa for the photographer!
And, we head back to the pier, to wrap up a spectacular day in awesome Goa
