2. On Day 1 we will visit Gupt Bhimashankar only if we reach top on time and finish lunch by 5.00 pm or else we will have to skip the same. Also Gupt Bhimashankar has a stream crossing, which can be done only if the flow of river is normal and will have to skip if it rains heavily.

3. Lunch on both days will be at around 4 pm or later which is a little late, so carry some snacks. Also there are few stalls in between you can have maggi and some packed snacks are available at mid point of the trek.

4. Nagfani Point is the highest point of Bhimashnakar region, but if it is covered in fog, we will not get to see any view. So we will visit Nagfani Point only if the weather is not foggy. Alternatively we can visit Hanuman and Kalbhairav Temple at base of Nagfani Point. We can do either one of them, can not cover both to be able to manage the schudule.
