Once you complete samadhi mandir darshan you will routed towards the neem tree and other samadhi's of baba devotees like tathya etc. Try to enter from gate 4 if you want to see only museum and book stall etc, gate 4 don't demand any bio metric pass anyone can enter. If you come out of temple premises after darshan then re enter through gate 4. This is where you see museum building , just walk-in for free to explore all baba used items and things , thanks to temple trust for preserving them in good condition. You get some feel of those days. You get to see baba used dresses, vessels , bed sheets , utensils etc To some extent sai heritage village also gives you glimpse of culture and traditions at those times in shirdi with help POP statues nicely made, enquire and try to visit heritage village as well , it costs 125 per head which has kids play area also. You have blood donation camp as well outside museum , please enquire and do your best to do donation which gives you VIP pass for one year validity for unlimited visits.

Khandoba Temple is the first place where SAIBABA was welcomed by the Priest Mhalasapati ji . Khandoba Temple holds special importance not only for its ancient origin, but also for being associated completely with Sai Baba. It is located on the main road & opposite Bus Station in Shirdi. Sai Baba Also asked his prominent disciple and devotee, Shri Upasani Maharaj, to stay at this temple for four years for his spiritual upliftment. This is now being managed extremely neatly by the grandson of Mahalasapati ji.

This year comparatively monsoon started very late with first rain only in early July. Getting excited our family of 2+2 decided to take monsoon trek to Ratangad. Unfortunately it was continuously raining some 3-4 days before our date & we were on the verge of cancelling it but my family pushed go ahead even with heavy rains. We started from Pune at 3:30am on Sunday morning. Ratangad is roughly 192kms from Pune if we take shortest route via. Ale phata, Bramhanwada & Kotul. But as it was raining heavily we took the highway via. Ale phata, Sangamner & Akole. The second route is roughly 215kms but takes same time as the shortest route as it's a better road. As it was very early morning time the highway was very much empty & 60% raod is four lane we were very fast on speed. We crossed Sangamner by 6:00am & were at Randha water fall by 7:00am for cup of tea. Ratanwadi which is base village for this trek is hardly 20kms from Randha fall. On the way we even enjoyed some clips at Nane waterfall. Govt. has made some fabricated structure to stand in front of the waterfall & enjoy it. Finally we reached Ratanwadi by 8:30am. It was still continuously raining & seeing the Pravara river flow down from the fort, we started getting scared. We were in mind of calling our trekking plans but just then saw a bus coming down with group of 10-15 people planning to continue with their trek inspire of heavy rains. We also decided to stick down to our plans. Only this time as we were a family, to be on safer side we took a local guide Mr. Sachin Lote. He is a residence of Ratanwadi, in his early 20's. Works as a part time trek guide during rains when he has No work in his farms. Usually they quote Rs. 700-800 & suggest to give it without negotiations. Their living depends on this money. To start with we ordered our breakfast & went for Amruteshwar temple darshan. It's a hemadpanti style Shiva temple dates back to 8th century. It is still maintained in good condition. Village panchayat Car parking is just next to it who charge Rs 50 for the day. It is also surrounded by homely food stalls offering some snacks like poha, bhaji or junka bhakri lunch. We took our breakfast & started the trek around 9:00am. Within some minutes of start we had to use human chain formation to cross the heavily flowing Pravara river that originates from this fort & on which the Bhandardhara dam is built at a later stage. In general the trek route takes a almost half round around a hill passing through dense forest & then the actualclimb starts. On the way we pass by a perculation lake built by forest department for water conversation. Till the half way we pass through some 5-6 heavy water flowing strems hence suggest if you are taking monsoon trek & if it's first time, local guide is highly recommend. They know which is the less deeper water section & from where to cross the water currents. In fact in midway we came across a group wherein some members had got injured in attempt to cross the river at wrong places. In mid way they joined us to find their way out. After about one hour of trek we cross from one hill to other which is differentiated by a open patch & then onwards we the steep climb starts. Even the forest gets more dense & water flowing noise increases making it more scary. We passed by many tree fallings that had blocked our route but as the guide was knowledgeable he ensured we moved on safe. After two hours of trek we reach the final stage which is ladder climb. Like Kalsubai peak, here also they have provided three ladders to make the climb easy but here they are more steep with underpassing waterfalls making it slightly scary. The last ladder directly touches the Hanuman darvaja or gate. After few steps you cross the Ganesh darvaja. Just in between if we take a right turn, we pass by a goddess temple by name 'Ratna bai' temple. After darshan, we moved on to the two caves for some shelter from heavy showers. It was almost 12:00noon. Here we got some local snacks with hot tea which we were long waiting for. Even zunka bhakri lunch is available but cannot except beyond. Overall it took us almost two & half hour to reach the top. We took some rest in the caves & roamed around but with limitations as it was heavily raining. As it was raining heavily, Our guide suggested to start back by 1:00pm to avoid any risk. Without wasting much time we started climb down but this it was much more relaxed & many stops for photography or selfies. We were back in the village in two hours time, I think by 3:00pm. Before leaving, again took Amruteshwar darshan & some lighter local lunch and by 4:00pm, we started our return journey. In between took one tea break at Sangamner & dinner break after Rajgurunagar before reaching Pune by 10:30pm. In short had a wonderful experience of our first monsoon trek though it was slightly scary for family due to heavy rains & free flowing waters but never my family promised to come back in winter to check the other side.
