Kalavantindurg - is a sister pinnacle of Prabalgadh fort. Long time back in 2013 I had been to Prabalgadh with my office colleagues where we were totally unprepared in rains had manged to reach the khind (pass) - the base of ascent for Kalavantindurg and had rightly decided not to climb the steep stairs in rains.

Since then I had been looking for opportunity to find company to make this climb. So when one of my friend called in to do this, I immediately accepted. 

We started early by 5am from Pune, but by the time we started from base village and to the khind it was already crowded (fortunately not so much). 

It was a short and thrilling climb with narrow staircase with free fall into the valley. 

And as they say - the descent is more!

Left Behind

We tool an early morning drive to Elgol to see the Cuillin peaks with their reflection in water. It was a calm morning but turned out be cloudy. The walk down to the beach made up some color to the grey and cold atmosphere. It seems the cliff has retreated back leaving behind its debris.

Cliffs of Quiraing

Cliffs of Quiraing: This was a very nice hike. While my waited in the car with my daughter, I told her I would be back in 20 mins. I just kept walking along the trail till just pass these cliffs and did not realize I had taken about an hour to get back to the vehicle. The scenery is varied starting with green meadows, then goes via hills-edge trails via these cliffs and then opening out with view of the sea.

Cliffs of Staffin

Cliffs of Staffin, Isle of Skye - We were looking out for a view point and just at the right point we got directions to a waterfalls. The At the viewpoint waterfalls seemed secondary to the cliff view.
