Unveiling Unseen Places day 7 and 8

A Journey Through Time: Exploring Songadh Fort & RanderSome trips leave lasting impressions, and my two-day visit to Songadh Fort and Rander was one of them—a perfect mix of adventure and history.

Day 7: Trekking to Songadh Fort:

Trekking up Songadh Fort was exhilarating. The crisp air, scenic trails, and the breathtaking panoramic view from the top made the climb worthwhile. Built by Peshwa Pilaji Rao Gaekwad, the fort’s strategic location and sturdy construction left me in awe—how did they achieve this without modern tools? Exploring the ruins, imagining past battles, and marveling at the craftsmanship made the experience unforgettable.

Day 8: Discovering Rander’s Legacy

Rander surprised me—it predates Surat! Walking through its old streets, I witnessed the harmonious coexistence of the Jain and Bohra communities and admired the intricate architecture of ancient mansions. Once a major port, Rander’s history of trade and cultural richness fascinated me.This journey was more than sightseeing; it was a glimpse into a rich past, filled with beauty, history, and harmony. A truly rewarding experience!

Overall trip of these 8 days really exciting and got to visit many places and most of them were unseen. Thank you so much for this opportunity it was a wonderful learning experience not just from places but the group we have. This group was superb. Thank you everyone for making these trips memorable. Thank you Manisha ma’am and Priti ma’am for organizing this.
