Trek to Nakhind
This Sunday i.e 8th August 2010, we plan a one-day trek to Nakhind – a gentle hill excellent for leisurely walk, near Matheran, Maharashtra.

As ever, we will take the less traveled road to the top, crossing streams, valley of flowers, thru’ clouds, rice fields, quiet hamlets and a promise to keep these mountains clean.
Imp: While we climb we shall not disturb the lazy water buffaloes


It has a long summit ridge connected to the Matheran range.
It has Peb fort connected to it .
