Trimbak Pheri

What’s something you’ve done that you never thought you could?

Trimbak Pheri is a walking trail of 25 Kilometres, and climbing a mountain on the way.

This has religious significance and it is done during monsoon every year. It is a difficult trail, passing through paddy fields and muddy roads. Normally there is continuous downpour during this trail. It passes through a forest.

Our tea club members planned to complete this trail. It was our first time to walk for such a long distance walking. At the same time walking through a dirt track and crossing a mountain on the way.

I was in double minds, whether I will be able to do it, should I join them or not. Finally I decided to give it a try and joined them.

We were 8 of us walking together. We started at morning 7.00 am. We were well prepared with water bottles and snacks and rain jackets. It was like outing for all of us. Everyone was fully enthusiastic and excited for the trail. First one hour was the most exciting and productive.

Subsequently our speed slowed down and we took few stops for hydration and some energy bars. And continued with same zeal and energy. But somewhere one by one our friends started struggling to walk.

And we reached the climax of the trail. That was crossing the mountain. Few friends took more time and took few stops while climbing. It was tough to climb after you almost walk half the trail that is almost 13 km. We finally completed the climb and took a snack break on the top. Had our energies refilled and took little rest and continued our descent.

Finally after the total 5 hours of walking, we completed the trail. All of us were fully happy and excited for this great achievement. It was first time for all of us.

I never thought that I could complete this trail with so much ease and comfort. But I did it, few of my friends were down for next days due to heavy pain in legs and exertion.

It was a message for me, You can achieve great heights but first step forward is important.

Thank you my dear readers for stopping by

Stay Happy and keep smiling 😊
