Duke's Nose

This sunday we 6 people went for a trek, a trek to 'Duke's Nose'. It is also called as 'Nagphani' in local language.
We started the trek right from the Khandala Railway Station. None of us knew the path. We just went on asking local people and travelled. At one point, we missed the right path and reached to a hill just beside of 'Dukes Nose'! What a pity!!
We returned to the point where we felt that we had taken a wrong path. Fortunately another village-man guided us the right path and within 2 hours we were on top of Dukes!

The view from the top is awsome! You can see Pune-Mumbai Express Way, Railway line and beautiful valleys(in rainy season).

Make sure that you have plenty of water while climbing up. There is no water on the top. Only one small temple.
Also, beaware of the right path, there are lots of chances that you may land up into a vague direction.
