The Sandhan Valley:
We started our trek towards adventure Valley .There are total 3 patches which we have to climb out of which the last patch is of around 50ft. The path towards Sandhan Valley is very similar to Nalichi Vat at Harishchandra Gad.
 |
| First Patch |
This is the first patch which was leaded by Anil so the New comer Nitesh would climb up with the hep of rope.

There was a big Boulder and the path was from the gap of two boulders it was really an interesting point.As we have not been through it before

The Second Patch
 |
| Second Patch |
Second patch was much easier as we have travel cross.here also Anil headed upwards to help Nitesh to climb it up
 |
| 50FT patch |
The Third Patch:
This was the best part of the trek.
As we were told there would be some guys from the village coming up with equipment as it 50ft patch as was very difficult for our new comer.But it was waste of time to stay there and wait for the people coming in there .after half an hrs of Argument we came o result tht we would clear the patch in 2 stages .
First i tried to get up from it but as i cannot reach the ledge which was in middle of the patch need someone who has good height so one of my friend "KIRAN" tired it and we were successful in climbing the patch . Anil followed KIRAN to take the bag up then all the bags were sent up, we completed the patch in approx 1 hr.
