The K Gang trek to Subedar Falls

Our photos from an outing in the monsoons!  We went with a small group of Kiran's friends. Subedar Falls is in the Sahyadri mountains, and not far from Mumbai. It's a pretty place and an easy walk, though you have to clamber over rocks to cross the second stream and reach the waterfall (neither Kiba nor I cared for that part). Sitting near the falls was very nice though, and so was the walk across the fields.  We were guided by two young men from the nearby village Sandshi. A very friendly village dog came along with them; probably owned by one of the men. Kiba is not at all friendly with other dogs, so we took care to keep some distance between the two of them. We had packed the K Gang's lunch and carried it with us, and we gave some to our cute canine guide too. You can see him in the background in the pictures below. The Gang LOVE these outings; all the new sights, smells, fresh air, exercise! If you're new to this blog, you might like some of our earlier family outi...
