I started from Pune by the state transport luxury bus at 7 AM and reached the location by 11:30 a.m.
The host and a few other local guides from Mumbai and around, Karan, Harsha Rai and Tushar from Pune, and a special mention of TravellerG and Raj Tayade, who attended all the way from Bengaluru and Aurangabad, respectfully, some of them were attending the physical meet-up for the first time.

We bought the individual tickets to enter Sanjay Gandhi National Park. Most of the LGs arrived well in the time scheduled. From the gate, we boarded the local bus transporting us to the footsteps of the Kanheri Caves, which are almost 6 kilometres (approx. 4 miles).
After a brief introduction of the attendees, we started climbing up and had a great photowalk of the caves and surroundings.
