Lonar-world's second largest impact crater & forgotten ancient temples
Route-150 km from aurangabad.
Aurangabad ->Sultanapur(by bus)
Sultanapur-> Lonar (Local transport[usually jeeps run ]
From Lonar bus stand-> ask for crater! its 1.5km by walk..
CAUTION:The bottom of the crater is 200m down..lil hike down..this path is very deserted ...u will barely see people...be careful..
This is bit of challenge to reach this place...within one day to go and come back is hard...u barely have place to stay overnight..so plan careful..i started well..things went smooth..
I lost when i reached Lonar station!..i was imagining jeep wld stop at crater itself..surpising found myself in a small town..with lil hindi i cldnt convey ...i should in signs!!!..h.hahah..one of my funniest moments in my life..imagine signing a meteorite..hahah...
luckily he understood..shouted "CATER..CATER"...
"Yeah!!!..goodness god..thats the place "i said..
...he told me the direction..took a auto to that..
..its a different feeling..to see it..like a small hills surrounding a lake...down the way was exciting..no path to go down..found some way..i reached the place..i had my food..utappam!.had it had..one different kind of lunch i had..then spent time in the temples..no one around..and started wrote "RETURN" in sand and took pic..it was return..from aurangabad..i had presented my first technical paper..visited some beautiful places..and back...
