Uttan Trek

Plan an outing and they are never smooth to take of, same it happened with us as well when we planned an outing to Uttan to the Ultimate Paradise resort. Working in the same office, Saturday was the best option to go & as decided most of them landed up on time at the Bhayandar station except Amit & me…lol… I’ll have to listen for the same for ever I guess. A fifteen minutes rickshaw ride from the station takes you to the Ultimate Paradise Resort. Though the rickshaw leaves you just about near the resort but a short walk from the jungles & small yet never ending steps take you to the resort situated at the hill top.
Ha the confusion still does not end, whether we should stay back or leave, however we leave the decision when the evening comes. Paid the entry amount & after a short breakfast, wondering whether to hit the swimming pool or walk we ended asking the resort owner if we could go for a trek or so & he guided us to the hill side for the same.
We thus began our walk, coming across a tree which was all lonely in the greenery present around it & sat down around it. Being from the same office, gossips, bitching & more was always there on the unwritten agenda…hey but its necessary to start a topic tho… & when we finally felt that it was enough we began walking towards a pond which though was at a distance & the road to it was walking over the rocks, farms & yes escaping if the bullock ever planned to attack. But hey it was worth it…


Praveen had slipped while clearing these rocks...

Initially we came across rocks that we need to walk on to get down towards the farm lands, hey it was quite simple enough though but I pitty Praveen, he unfortunately slipped…heheheh. Cleared the rocks successfully we came across a group of aspiring cricketers, children they were but were big enough to guide us towards the pond & soon we found ourselves walking amidst the farms. I could quite recollect my college days tho. As the pond seems closer to us there were these two bullocks that were present on our way, though they were fined tied but still even a run by one of them in that field was enough to make us feel its presence. While walking we came across a water pool, can’t describe it tho & it brought out the hidden models in us, each & every person was busy posing to make it a perfect picture but hell Bhakti’s camera doesnot have zoom…hehehehe. Finally the models move ahead & reach the actual pond we had planned of, but the pond that seemed so far when we started, we had reached quite early then expected, so we further decided to walk towards the sea shore.

Sorry but Bhakti's camera does not have zoom...

This was a walk in itself as the farms & rocks were taken over by a walk from the village, fishermen getting their nets done & kids catching butterflies. We finally reach the shore; most of us were simply enjoying the moment but Vinita…hehehe as usual gathering information about their living, diet & what not, and may be she intended to marry one of them. Finally a walk back to the resort on the same way, the walk which initially was very long but on the way back some how we could feel it very short.

We finally reached the tree where it all had begun & a passing dialogue from me got the tree it’s name “Pawan Tree”.

Pawan Tree where we gossiped, bitched & future WE 2 plans were discussed...
Finally we decide to enjoy what the resort had to offer, we had paid for it. After lunch we all hit the pool & got involved in searching for Rs 5 coin in the pool, I mean agree we are not paid enough but not less also that we needed to search for a coin & the less talk about the game played after the better.

Yes did feel like I am the emperor...

Come evening & no one removed the topic of staying back also, so the question never arose only. A standing bus ride was the last thing I had expected, girls are always lucky in this matter, B.E.S.T has special privileges for them though. Enough, the bus ride made me tired, hence don’t feel like writing the same here also.
Indeed it was a much needed break & nothing can give you more relaxation than a trek & with friends is more fun. Teena hope the place met your expectation of the term “Ekaaaaaaaant”. Hehehehehehehe


Picture Perfect...Amit where are you??
