The
Shinde Wadi Hills is located at a distance of around 2 km from the small town
of Kamshet.
Luscious, fresh and a huge haunt for picnics, the locals love the freshness and
revitalizing essence of the Shinde Wadi Hills.
Historically,
this destination holds significant importance. It is strongly rumoured that in
a battle between the British and the Marathas, this was the place from where
Madhavrao Shinde's soldiers fired a cannon from the top of the hill to stop the
advancing British Battalion and ended up blowing off the head of the leader of
the advancing British Battalion.
Another
fascinating feature of these Hills is that it is a major hub for paragliding,
with both professionals and amateurs flocking here to try their hand at this
adventure sport. The gentle sloping hill is especially famous amongst the
trainees of paragliding and is ideal for beginners in particular.
Whether
youre looking to check off paraglide from the list of things you must do or
if youre just looking to get lost in the serenity and solitude of the hills,
the Shinde Wadi Hills will exceed all your expectations and leaving you wanting
to return. |
