Nishant Sheth 

High up in the clouds
Nishant Sheth, 41, founder at Treks and Hikes, a travel agency operating since 2016, says, "We do night treks in summers and post-monsoon. In summers, especially now, it is very difficult to trek because the heat leads to dehydration and fatigue. We arrange for treks after sundown, camp at a set location through the night, and since descending is easier we explore the region in daylight on our way down." There are a plethora of tours on offer, ranging from watermelon fests in Palghar and chikoo festival in Dahanu, to day and night treks to Matheran, Peb Fort, Rajmachi and more. For the tour this weekend, Nishant and his group of adventure-seekers will be Harischandragad-bound at night, to explore a medieval century fort, Kedareshwar Caves and the temple of Harishchandreshwar; following which the group will head to Konkankada, to experience a burst of clouds atop a cliff. Speaking of the view from Konkankada, Sheth says, "I've never seen anything quite like it."
