Exploration and Free Flying
Shivneri, Maharashtra – November 2001

After many days of sun and the sky at Kamshet we had gone across to Pune indulge in the sizzler & pub routine. Sachin had another agenda though and we found ourselves heading further inland to check out the fly-abilities of Shivneri fort. We trudged uphill in the late afternoon to reach this rugged fort whose popularity stems from the fact that it is the birthplace of the freedom loving Shivaji.

We wandered amongst the impressive ruins, blown away by the equally impressive views as we scouted for a good takeoff point. Sachin flew with his camera and the great pic’s here are his contribution. The trip was made without any expectations but the flights were eventful. The site has great possibilities and we are definitely going back. Verdict – a promising XC site with a succession of ridges for as far as the eye could see. Definitely worth camping out here and exploring the possibilities for a few days.
