Beautiful videoshoot of padargad.Last week i done padargad trek via ganpatighat route.Khandas is a calm peaceful village.It was nice experience.Trek is easy & well marked.There is well before diversion of padargad route Havingvenough water. The massive wali of bhimashankar looks beautiful from padargad.I took rest for some time in cave & found it is very peaceful place.

[@GautamKhetwal]

indeed it is a peaceful place, that is why monks use to make such meditative caves in such places :)

Hey there!! I just found out your channel and I just wanted to say hi and thank you!! Your work is amazing and I have no words to describe how much I appreciate the effort you put in every single video! You're truly talented! I suffer from mental illness and a couple of chronic diseases, so I spend most of my days home Watching your videos is really comforting and I dream that, someday, I could go outside and explore the world too! Thank you so much again!! Keep up with the great work!

[@GautamKhetwal]

thank you very much, nature is the best healer, spend more time with nature and its sounds, you will heal :)

muchas gracias :)

[@luizmiranda1950]

Thank you immensely for having taken the effort and the risk of crossing all these passages and climbing these incredible mountains. In addition, also for having recorded and published so that we could see. Otherwise we would never have any notion of this level of the eternal Indian magic.

[@GautamKhetwal]

thank you very much, these mountains are similar to grand canyons as they too are subjected to erosions by water and wind :)

[@ashudeshmukh1226]

You are too courageous bro....

[@GautamKhetwal]

thanks, i use normal olympus digicam and sjcam4000

[@rajnikantsharma]

Your videos are definitely enjoyable and reflect the effort that you put in both shooting and editing them. I have always been fascinated by what lies atop these hills/mountains, so thank you. My only concern is that at certain points, you advise caution but neither hold on to anything nor have hands free in case you stumble. I know that things can happen even after taking all precautions but give yourself a chance in case something happens, young man.

[@GautamKhetwal]

thank you very much, sure i'll note that :)

[@hardikparmar5478]

Good bro

[@archangel-gi9hc]

Another good one of yours dude....Btw where do you get all those details about the routes and the history of the place ? Of course It's all available for all the well-known forts but the others.. Anyplace online I should know ?

[@GautamKhetwal]

thank you, i usually refer google earth, and multiple blogs which other trekkers publish. still i lose my way in almost every trek :)

[@satinder1968]

Hey Gautam thanks a lot for uploading this excellent video of Padargad killa it feels as if I am myself doing this Trek, it's like virtual reality. I have seen 4/5 Videos of yours earlier also but I think this is the best amongst them. The View from Padargad Cave is Excellent, i have been to Bhimashankar many time but have only seen Padargad from below never tried it, friends used to say that it requires technical skills & Ropes & other equipments so I never gave a thought to climb it, used to sit & drink water from the well from where the route to Padargad starts, but after going through this video now I know what I missed. I have a advise for you as you have mentioned that you do solo treks please avoid solo treks at all cost, as trekking/mountaineering is adventurous activity there is always a risk element in it if somewhere something untoward or unfortunate happens then there should be someone to fall back upon in case of emergency. I have myself personally seen & ready about such incidents so don't take any unnecessary risks & enjoy your treks.

[@GautamKhetwal]

hey thanks, sure will keep that in mind, thanks for the advice, i appreciate :)

[@kalpitasharma1758]
