This was another weekend and was just about to finish as usual. We were planning to visit some near by places.
I picked up phone called some friends to execute the plan, but every body has some prior booking :(
Then my friend Sumeet called me and tell me a place called Zilpi which is just 25 Km from Nagpur.
So He called other colleagues and finally we all left at three.
Atmosphere was cool and pleasant.
On our way to Zipli we faced couple of rain showers making the environment cooler. It seemed rain god was playing Hide and Seek with the Sun.
All in all a perfect timing for an outing and we were the Perfect people. ;)
As “No” one from us had visited the spot before so we kept asking the path to people to make sure we are on the right direction.
After crossing Hingna we stopped to a Tea stall beside the street. As this is far from City we expected a good Doodh wali Chaye here.
While sipping our Teas, Sumeet went ahead and asked the Tea Wala , "Jhilpy Lake khute aahe" in Marathi, and that tea waala so enthusiastic to help us ,he narrated all the path in very detail but alas all in Marathi. And we understood a little, but mistake or rather say over smartness of my friend, is all on our part.
All we could understand we were near to our Spot. Ah ha but I forgot, yes tea was really good seemed no water, pure milk and kadak Indian Tea.
After five minutes of drive we reached our destination.
Place has a beautiful small lake surrounded by beautiful lush-green landscape and a Small Hill.
I wonder had it been summer time what could have this place to offer us. Any way this was not the damn summer of Nagpur and we were not there to think about the past or future of that place.
We were just out there for fun, to enjoy and really desperate to give a break to our daily monotonous life which we left back 25 KM from here.
So we spent our time as we liked , My daughter is very fond of water so first we played in water with her, Snehal seemed a serious photographer and was keen about capturing all the moments and beauty of the place.
Ishwin was keeping Sumeet, Munira, Snehal and I busy with her self. So her Mom finally got some time to sit and rest peacefully on the bank of the lake.

After some time we had a walk towards the Hill, We also climbed up that small hill, Spent some time in shooting and had chit-chat and fun...
Finally got back to lake again ...spent some time the same way and got back to Car. As soon as we all settled in the Car Rain god again appeared. But this time with no light shower...A heavy down pour, like he is saying “Guys fun time is over get back to your work.” And we drove away towards Nagpur.
After one hours of Drive we were back in the City. We all liked the place very much which later inspired some of our Enthusiastic colleagues to make Eco-Friendly Cycle Expedition to this place.

Finally managed to read your latest post today. Had it open in browser since many days. Nicely written and excellent photos. Your blog is turning into a good travelogue.
Yes Zilpi is unexplored spot near nagpur. I usually visit with my friend. To see real zilpi all you need is a good bike and start your journey inside the jungle u can see many wildlife like(sambars, rare-birds, etc)
