IRSHALGAD trek from top to NEDHE (needle’s eye / hole in the mountain).

16/06/2019: The entire Irshalgad trek ← is well illustrated already. We had done in 2018 from base village till the top of Irshalgad. Because of clouds and rains then, we could not reach the needle’s eye / nedhe / hole in the mountain. So this time in 2019, we decided to do it before the rains set in well. The only difference this time was that Karjat was base railway station instead of Panvel. The photos have been captioned which can be read by clicking on them while surfing this post using a computer / laptop. They are not visible when using a mobile.

1-day Sunday TTMM trek to Irshalgad near Panvel on 22nd July 2018, was completed successfully by 16 of us.

CAUTION: This is a medium grade trek. You must use correct trekking gear and trekking shoes. The terrain is quite slippery in the mountains. The base of the pinnacle can be reached. Do not attempt to climb the pinnacle. The pinnacle requires technical expertise of professional climbers, equipment & ropes.

This is not a fort, even if it is called a 'gad' in Marathi. It is basically a mountain with a pinnacle. There are no fortifications or water cisterns on this mountain.

IRSHALWADI: The needle’s eye or the ‘Nedhe’ in Marathi is the hole in the solid rock wall of the mountain, caused by the incessant blowing winds!

The small temple of the deity of the mountains is crossed and blessings received for uneventful passage.

Outline of Irshalgad shrouded in clouds is seen from Irshalwadi ahead.

A narrow path connects the way towards the pinnacle from the base of the pinnacle. I mentally hugged it before crossing it.

The pinnacle of Irshalgad is shrouded in mystery & clouds. It can only be climbed by professional climbers with expertise, climbing gear & ropes.

Bliss in Paradise - it isn’t a place. Its a feeling!

We fell in love with this island and wished to visit it some day soon...

India’s architecture has evolved over millennia. Renowned worldwide for hundreds of ancient temples and shrines, including the Taj Mahal, India also boasts impressive modern works. From Charles Correa’s Gandhi Smarak Sangrahalaya to Le Corbusier’s Chandigarh City, India holds a history of multiculturalist design and monumental projects. But the country is also home to incredible residential designs, private projects that are made with intimate scales around everyday life.

Exploring India’s residential designs, the following collection looks at rural retreats across the country. Blending vernacular and modern techniques and styles, these projects showcase diverse spatial and formal approaches. Emerging from India’s landscape while integrating with it, these novel projects embrace their surroundings. Oriented to views, waterways and prevailing winds, these homes showcase some of the best residential design in India.

The Hornbill House was created on a coffee and tea plantation in the Nilgiris Mountains. Surrounded by forests and spectacular views, the project is sited on an old drying yard at the edge of a waterfall. Each room was laid out to capture views while the structure’s soaring roof was made to invoke a sense of flight.

House by the Ganges by Rajiv saini + associates, Delhi, India

House by the Ganges was designed as an integrated living environment within the landscape. A series of concrete walls partition the project while expansive glazing opens up to dramatic views.

House with Balls by Matharoo Associates, Ahmedabad, India
