My Trip to Kileshwar

Hello All,

I had a great fun and loving time this weekend spending time with my friends at Argusoft and I would like to share some of my (our) experiences with you.



Before starting the journey I would like to introduce my group in alphabetical order as below:




Anirudhdha

It all started on 14th August 2008, we had to catch the train Saurashtra Exp. from Ahmedabad at 8:30 PM to get down to Bhanvad(21°55'47"N 69°46'48"E) a small town in Jamnagar district, Gujarat. Places to visit here include Barad Dungar, Indreswar-Triveni, Bhid Bhanjan, Suknath, Kileshwar, Aabhpara.

We all got down to Bhanvad on 15th August early in the morning around 4:00 AM and had some rest at our Bapu's (Birendra) house, who is a local boy of this town and much well known hero in the area.

Our first destination was to Ashapura Mahadeva temple on the top of Barda mountains at Kileshwar(21° 50' 0" North, 69° 45' 0" East). The most interesting part is the way to reach there... don't expect a smooth ride. I swear you will need a nice massage after reaching the top. It takes around 90 mins to reach the top on a hiked jeep which are specially well designed and trained for this road. See that bold lettered words "hiked jeep" never ever dare to travel on your private vehicle, rest you can understand.


Make sure that you take a short break in between these 90mins to enjoy the surrounding beauty as we did !!! One of the streams flowing down the hill on the way.

The area is sparsely populated with people of the community majorly belonging to Bharvads, Rabaris and Vagris...



Hey I m in hurry to run out of office so will continue later....
