The Plan
6 Months, 180 Days, 4 walls and same faces. Am sure, most of us were in the similar phase of life from past few months. Covid not only ruined our daily lives and income, it has completely changed our lifestyle pattern, work pattern and the list goes on. Despite of government announcing Un-lockdown series since a month now, we on the safer side choose to stick to the lockdown pattern as we were not sure about the scenario. We had so many places on our bucket list this year and ultimately things took a turn. Instead of traveling to new and unexplored places, we decided to take things slow and choose to explore some near by places.
We heard about Haji Malang quite a few times, but never planned to visit this amazing place. We enquired few of our friends and saw videos on YouTube as well on what else can we do in Haji Malang. We came across certain activities and places to see or visit. Haji Malang is popularly known and called as Shree Malang Gad. It is a hill fort located near Kalyan, Maharashtra which is approximately 790 m above the sea level.

Our Weekend Trip
We took a short ride to Haji Malang last Sunday and it was hardly few kms from our place. Few minutes and we were there in Malang Gad road. As we weren't sure about the situation up there for trekking or even to visit Dargah. Just a short ride is what we had planned for.

Experience
We regret not visiting this beautiful place earlier. As it is the end of monsoon season, we choose the perfect time to visit. Even though we weren't ready for trekking, we surely spent quality time with Nature.
