| A nice hike, on the edge at Nag phaani( COBRA'S HOOD) |
Cobra's hood is a great spot for rappelling, it is an easy trek to the top from the southern approach the other routes to the top are very steep and risky, this landmark is easily visible from the Pune-Mumbai expressway.
You can see from the top the entire hill station of Lonavala, toward the south west the Lohegad and Visapur forts are visible. Here are a few pictures i've taken, we trekked here on the 7th of february 2013, it takes about 45 mins to reach the peak.
Oh yeah!! its called the Dukes nose because it resembles the nose of the Duke of Wellington!!
I must apologize here for the date and time imprinted in the pictures they are completely wrong!
