Trek Marathon: Jor-Koleshwar-Bahrichi Ghumati-Arthur's seat-Jor
Jai Shri Ram The Western Ghats or the Sahyadri Mountain Range runs North to South at the Western edge of the Deccan Plateau along the West coast of India , starting from the border of Gujarat and Maharashtra, South of the Tapi river valley and ends at Swamithoppe ,the southern tip of India just before Kanyakumari covering a distance of 1600 kms. The range is amongst the Worlds top 10 bio diversity hotspots and eco sensitive zones and covers 6 states in India. I have been fascinated by the ghats and my aim is to first cover the entire range in Maharastra. For this to happen, you need a strong support system of fellow trekkers and off course strong family backing as you are away from home quite often and that too on week ends. Thus before I begin my first serious blog on trekking, it is apt that I express my sincere gratitude to veteran trekker , Mr.Anand Palande for initiating me into the wonderful world of trekking in the Sahyadri's through his pioneering books
