It was winters of 2019 and again our group of three friends were ready for another trek. This time its Achala Fort. As per the pIan I had to be ready by 4:30 am. Next morning I woke up around 3:45 am, and got ready by 4:20 am. This time I made French toast for breakfast. I carried around 1 ltr of water with me. By 4:35am my friend came to receive me. This time we had decided to meet at Thakkar bazar bus stop( New CBS), so we went there to pick our third friend. Before we reached our friend was already present at meeting point. We had tea, discussed our route and plan for trek and we left for Achala Fort by 5:10am. We were travelling by private car. It was around 58 km from Nashik city so it took us around 1hr 30mins to reach Achala pimpri village which is located at the base of Achala fort. We parked our car at the base village and started searching for a guide as route was new and unknown for us. We managed to convince one guy from village to come with us. It was very cold morning but enthusiasm and high energy level hardly made us feel the cold this spirit gave a good start to the trek. Difficulty level of the trek is medium but very much tiring. I suggest to carry around 2 ltr of water to keep you hydrated.
