| Beautiful morning with coffee (Saputara) |
We woke up around 8 am at Chitrakoot resort
saputara, then we were outside of the room at that time morning sunrise scene
was very mesmerizing so our spending money on this resort is totally worth it.
We took a coffee watching this beautiful scene. We took a bath in the swimming
pool around 25minutes. Earlier, we decided to go, Daman, it plans cancelled but
that time I decided to go Saptashrungi temple so finally, we started the ride
around 9:20 am. Its distance 45km and there are two routes to reach this place.
One road is the very fastest route but another route is very rough.
Accidentally, we choose a rough road so we reached 11:00 am. This road is very
tough and passing the middle of the village. Finally, we parked our bike,
helmets and Luggage nearby the temple worship shop. I surprised by one thing is
that if you buy worship things on that shop then you could park your vehicles
without pay any parking charge.

| Vani Temple (Saptashrungi) |
Saptashrungi is a hill range consisting of
seven hills locally called Ghats and form part of the Sahyadri Range of hills
in the Western Ghats. Accordingly, Hindu tradition Saptashrungi meaning seven
peaks. This temple located near the village of Nanduri which is located Kalwan
taluka, Nasik District. This place is a 60km away from Nasik District. The temple is also known popularly as one of
the "three and a half Shakti Peethas" of Maharashtra. Well, in all
over India there are 51 Shakti Peethas. Saptashrungi is generally regarded to
be a half Shakti Peetha. Although, the official site of the temple declares it
as a complete Shakti Peetha. This temple background story it is a location where
one of Sati's limbs, her right arm is considered to have fallen when
grief-stricken and agitated Shiva was carrying her dead body around the world
on his shoulders, and Vishnu had cut her body into pieces with his Sudarshana
Chakra. In the seven ranges of mountains, the one mountain peak height is
around the 1400m, and Saptashrungi is towards its west. There are 510 steps to
climb the temple.

I remember exactly what I visited this place in
my 8th standard tour but I was very glad to visit this religious place with my
friend without any plan. We bought things of worship and walked towards the
temple. We kept our shoes in the temple shoes rent shops. We are climbing
stairs very fast but many times, we rested. We climbed around 400 steps and
starting a beautiful Scenario of Vani village.
The peak opposite to the temple is the Markandeya hill. There is a
ropeway facility available but At that time repairs were underway on the
ropeway.

Finally, we reached the temple but the main problem for us is that the
time 12 o’clock and worship had started so there was huge traffic. Our mind was
to go to Darshan, but if we stand there for worship, it would be gone long
time so We decided that if we should get out of it now, we can reach Nasik in
time and visit Nasik City and relax and then we can reach Surat the next day.
We gave our worship items to a woman of old age standing there. We came down
and had some breakfast and we started the bike and we were going to our next
destination.

| Sinner Highway |
We reached Nasik around 3:30 pm. We booked a
hotel room on Make my trip website which showed that hotel Panchavati
destination nearby 5km from my location but, when we saw on Google maps the
hotel distance from Nasik to 40km Sinner. We decided that we should not visit
Nasik city because we were tired. Well, in my school tour, I had visited
Trumbkeshvar temple, Nasik, Ajanta & Elora caves and many other places of Maharashtra.
We reached hotel around 4:18pm.we have booked a hotel room at the price
1500rs.there was worth it. We took a rest 1 hour then my friend decided we were
in Maharashtra so we should drinks. We visited sinner city and took the Red
label bottle it is price 3000rs.we bought some Chakana near the bakery shop and
return to the Hotel. We drank two pages and It is said exactly that," great
ideas never come from the comfort zone". That time I am thinking about my
next destination but I know that we want to go to Surat next day because my
friend was doing a job. I was searching on Google map Imagica location. The
distance between the Sinner to the Imagica theme park is a 234km. when I told
my friend this plan and he had confessed to my plan. My friend told his boss
that he cannot come to the office and his boss approved the leave. We have not
to inform our family about this trip. We had very excited because suddenly had
made of this plan. This trip special thing is that it is an unplanned
trip.
