Introduction near Kanheri Caves. Fairly good number of new comers and first timers. A new couple, Amit and Sushma joins Nature Knights

Off to the forest
Welcoming us in the bushes were a couple of peafouls and a hare
The first session. A steep descent. Climbing down using the 'Mawla' technique. Shivaji's soldiers were known to be specialists in this technique



Continues our journey through the forest
Descends and ascends....


The first break near a waterbody. Numerous butterflies in varying colours and designs makes it interesting


Walk continues after the break
After a short while, it was time for another break
Entrance of the tunnel. Everyone gets ready and is instructed to walk in a line, without touching the walls

A broken part of the tunnel and some sunlight
After the 300 mt tunnel, it was a canal till Tulsi lake

Towards the end, the canal cuts right through a huge rock...
...and connects to the lake

Shyam loses no time in grabbing a bite Prior to the rapelling session, Asif takes the team through various rope management techniques
Rapelling down

Back at Kanheri
