[edit] Geography

Surgana is located at 20.57° N 73.62° E[1]. It has an average elevation of 533 metres (1748 feet). It is about 90 KM from Nashik. Travelling to Surgana by bus or Max ('Kali-Piwali' we call it as)is one of greatest adventure one will ever do in his life. Hopefully Maharashtra GOVT. will improve quality of roads soon and we will have comfortable reach.

Being geographer another thing which I must tell you, is its beauty in rainy season (Although I hate this season, because there are quit a few number of houses which do not pour rain-roof water inside).
