Introduction:

The steep gully descending from the Railing pathar into the Konkan, at Pane village near the foothills of fort Raigad is the very majestic Boratyachi Nal. We at Travelarks are going to undertake an exhilarating trek down this Nal on 12th Feb 2010. The route is a very enjoyable one with a couple of exposed traverses adding thrill to the entire experience. (Have a look at the pic here -->)

Next day we would be trekking up the fort Raigad, the Gibraltar of the east and the second Capital of Shivaji Maharaj's Swarajya movement. The fort offers a lot of interesting things for the history enthusiasts as well as adventure seekers.
