[RECAP] Raigad Photowalk

It’s another day and another meetup; I hosted a photowalk on Raigad. This photowalk is special, because all local guides don’t know each other. We all met at Datta Snacks, Panvel, We had total 4 bikes with 6 participants, 5 more people come by car. Total 11 Local Guides participated in this photowalk. We took a rout from Panvel – Khopoli – Pali – Wakan – Mangaon – Raigad.

We reached on Raigad Fort at 2.00 pm. Our lunch was ready at Nilima Tai’s home. They gave us a option to stay at her place for night. Her house is behind Bajarpeth. She have small stall on steps of Raigad. She can arrange food and stay for people on fort. I gave information about Local Guide program to her. And share her location and contact details on map.

People who came by car reached little late on fort after lunch at 5.00 pm we started exploring fort. At 7.30 pm. We windup. It was great experience to stay in local house.

Our main aim to stay on fort is just to try night and astro photography on top. After dinner we went for sleep. We decided to sleep outside of home in open air and open sky. At 1.00 am we went for night photography. As we locate where we could see Milkey Way at night. We took so many pictures on Fort with different foreground and Milkey Way as a background. We spent 2 hours for astro photography and share our skills for night photography.

At morning we decided to explore other side of fort. At 10.00 am we came back took our breakfast and at 11.00 am we start descending from fort. Half trek we came down by regular steps and after some time we change the rout and came down by different way which was little risky but it was shortcut. At 120.00 noon we start return journey by same road from where we came. That first 22 Km. from Pachad (Raigad Base) is really beautiful and curvy. At 8.00 pm we reached at Mumbai.

This photowalk end with new experiments, new knowledge and new friends….

@MADY Thanks for sharing this recap! I also love the pictures of the starry sky. We rarely see the stars here in London as the city has so many lights. I'm quite envious that you were able to sleep under the stars!

Look forward to hearing about your next meet-up.
