Its time for a Stamina & Endurance test once again with an Exhilirating trek to Harishchandragad via Naalichi vaat on this Friday, 27th Nov-09.
Harishchandragad, the name itself is mystic & has a certain inexplicable charm around it. Its therefore better left unsaid, that the fort attracts trekkers by the hordes.
