Naikba (Dhebewadi) and Khandoba (Pali)

Hi,

Last Saturday i.e. 27th Oct. 2007 we visited my "Kul-Daivat" places.

The places called Naikba and Palicha Khandoba. We moved from Chinchwad at 6.30 am and were at Karad at around 11.00 am. From where we move for Dhebewadi. We were at the hill of Naikba on 12.00 pm. After spending an hour we came down to Dhebewadi, where we just tried to find out if any of my families ancestors are till there in the village. Surprisingly found few families with surname 'Deolekar' who till continue with the traditional job of goldsmith.


From this place we can also take journey to Chandoli the wellknown sanctuary for Gawa's.

After discussion with villagers we came to know that there is another way to go to Kashil/Pali. So we adopted the same and start driving towards Patan. The ghat's are so lonely and misguiding that at one place we are thinking to comeback to Dhebewadi again.


But almost after drive of around half and hour we reached at small village 'Malhar Peth' from where we dropped the plan to go ahead for Patan. Instead we reached to Umbraj via Nava Road. And from Umbraj we reached to Kashil and then to Pali. The drive is really tardy as we take stop many time in between to confirm the correct way and also because of the bad road condition.

We leave the Pali at 3.30 pm and reached to Shirwal at 5.30 pm, where we enjoy the food at hotel 'Shree Ram'. Then we start driving for Pune and reached almost at 7.00 pm to Chinchwad.

Total drive was 478 kms. But till not feel much tired. That's the magic of bullet. :)



Cheers,
Paresh
