The Night Hikers: A True Story of Three Boys' Adventure, Survival and Friendship

(This is a true story about three second year college students of Indian Institute of Technology Bombay during a night hike in the year 2000)
Three boys, immature, inexperienced and recklessly overenthusiastic, set off on a hike. Their goal is to decipher the secret entrance to a deserted historic fort at a hilltop in the Indian jungle. They are convinced that they can do it without the help of a map or a local guide. Figuring out the hidden path that leads up to an otherwise unscalable fort is great fun. It is even more fun when it is done in the night, under the cover of darkness, just like the invaders who attempted to conquer the fort in the past!
But as soon as they start their journey, something mysterious starts to happen. Time starts playing with them, things go wrong at every step. However, instead of stopping them, the setbacks and misfortunes rather fuel their zeal and determination. They ignore all the bad omens and continue on the inauspicious journey.
But what happens to the three boys on this fateful night hike? What happens when they get entrapped in the hill with no way out? What happens when they run out of water?
