Namaskar Mitrano,

Tar nehami pramane trek cha aakha plan banavla aplya trek lead ne mhanje Amol Chaudhary….varsha cha pahila trek jara tuf asava ashi icha amol barobar DH cha saglyach utsahi members chi hoti ani mhanunch pahilya trek tharla to Mahipatgadacha. Ya thikani gada baddal sancshipta mahiti dyavi tar ha gad Khed pasna sadharan 10 km antaravar aahe ani base village ahe dahivali. Gadache darshan base village pasna hot nahi karan gada bhavti 2 te 3 dongar aahet.  Gadavar mahadevacha vatsavya aahe ani mhanunch kadachit ya gadache darshan sahaz khalun hot nahi….Mhantat na melya shivay dev disat nahi…mag ithe tari kasa sahaz dishnar.

Tharlya pramane amhi sagle shukravari ratri Khed cha ST ni nighalo. Bus madhe kuni zopnar nahi asa prayatna sarvani kela but 2 te 5 he kumbhakarnachi vel aste ani tyat sagle adve zalet. Tya adhi matra saglyana Alpana cha navin gadi baddal sampurna mahit. ani tyach barobar sadharan gadi cha engine madhe kiti cylinder astat te gadi cha break madhe kay engineering asta ya paryanta sarva mahiti amhala amol kadna milali. Ani to ratri cha khed paryanta cha pravas kasa sampla te kalalch nahi. Khed chya ST depo la amhi pahate 5 la pohochlo….dahivali la bus kitila ahe he mahiti kadhayla gelo asta depot lya adhikarya ne agdi NAMRA pane amhala te 2-3 da sangitle ani shevti vina pati cha eka STt amhi agdi achuk jaun baslo.

Swari gavat utarli…..
