Overview
Pune city has begun to experience a lot of crowd and traffic in the last few years. With the boom in the IT sector in places like Hinjewadi, Kharadi, Magarpatta and more, influx of engineers and bachelors in the city has increased manifold. Ever increasing traffic, has lead to issues in infrastructure, poor management, increased difficulty in local transport etc. It has also raised alarming concerns over excessive deforestation and constant construction among dwellers.
Pune – once known as a hill station was considered a getaway and used to experience winters with temperatures going as low as 6 to 7 Degree Celsius. Now the lowest the city records is probably around 12 to 13 Degrees, which clearly shows impact of global warming.
Pune’s boom
However, heres the bright side that makes this city a beautiful place to live in. Thanks to the Sahyadris around and their lush offerings, the city has benefitted from its cover and protection. Every year during the monsoon, the Sahyadri trails come alive. With lush greenery around and expansive range of hills surrounding the city, trek s in Pune are a popular feat. During the monsoon, fort and waterfall trek s in Pune are organized in full swing. The months between June to September often see thousands of trekkers including locals as well people travelling from other cities as well. However, a lot of popular trek’s in Pune have unfortunately started facing the same problem – overcrowding. Often leading to stampede and safety concerns.
Yet again, the team at Adventure Pulse explored a trek in Pune not so far from the main city in fact. This temple hike is a short scenic journey giving trekkers the much needed break & stays pretty unknown.
This off-beat trail is peaceful, pretty and has the best views of the lush green landscape surrounding the panorama..
Here are a few glimpses from our recent hike to the off-beat Ramadara Hill..
