"Vishal Rade hai, jo ek Mechanical Engineer hain aur abhi ek multinational company mein kaam kar rahe hain. Vyavsayik jeevan ki zimmedariyan sambhalte hue, unhone apne mann ki asli ichha ko sambhala hai — woh hai Sahyadri mein trekking karne ki.

Trekking unke liye sirf ek shauk nahi, balki ek jazba aur jeevan ka hissa hai. Naye naye jagah dhoondhna, itihaas ki aur akarshan, aur prakriti ke saath shaanti ka anubhav karna — in sabne unka vyaktitva viksit kiya hai.

Sahyadri ke gad-killein par ghoomte hue, unhe ""Gadmaruti"" ki avdharna ka ehsaas hua. Har gad par khada Maruti, uske peeche ki shraddha, aur us sthal ki urja — in anubhavon ko shabdon mein bayan karne ka prayas hai yeh pustak."
