Hi Friends,   Hydventura is planning a scenic trek to famous Malshej Ghat to Historic Nane Ghats over a span of 2 days (August 1st – 2nd) near Kalyan, Maharashtra.   Malshej Ghat is a mountain pass in the Western Ghats range in the Pune district of Maharashtra, India. The site is nestled in the lofty rugged hills of theWestern Ghats. The site is home to hundreds of different kinds of flora and fauna especially the avian population such as quails, rails, crakes, flamingos and cuckoos.   Naneghat is a mountain pass in the Western Ghats range near Junnar in Pune district of Maharashtra, India. During the reign of the Satavahana (200 BCE–190 CE), the pass was extensively used as a trade route between Kalyan and Junnar. Literally, the name nane means “coin” and ghat means “pass”. The name is given because this path was used as a tollbooth to collect toll from traders crossing the hills.   The plan goes like this   31st July: [Friday] 14:45 hrs: Train to Kalyan.   1st August: [Saturday] 03:47 hrs: Reach Kalyan.
