Here it is... Trip to Mulshi

One fine day, myself and Santhu thought that we shouldn’t be wasting our time sitting home lazily watching TV… and then we decided to go to this place called Mulshi… We decided on Saturday that we will leave as early as 5.30AM to see the sun rise (that too during Rainy season in Pune … hehehe) and will be back by noon. As usual next day morning when Santhu woke me up, me the lazy bum didn’t got up and asked him also to go back to sleep… but suddenly something happened to me and I woke up Santhu and we got ready and left on Santhu’s bike…. It was around 6.50AM in the morning we left our place.
This place Mulshi is around 60kms from the place I stay in Pune… Amazingly beautiful place which is surrounded by Sahyadris… Near Chandini Chowk we need to take the extreme right route to reach this place. One bad thing is, till you reach around 55kms you wont get to see the route information. On the way you need to keep asking people on how to go…. We took a break near a bus stop in between when it started raining… we both wore our rain coats and started the journey again!! :) While wearing the raincoat as it started raining heavily, I took this snap…After around 40kms we stopped near a tea shop and had garam garam vada-pav and chai as our breakfast and started heading towards the Mulshi.

This place is a wonderful place which will be worth seeing during the monsoon… The rains had just started in-and-around Pune and had rained very heavily since last 10 days continuously and had recently stopped to a certain extent. Almost every hill had a minimum of 3-4 small small waterfalls. hmm... beauty of Pune during monsoon cannot be explained... it can be just felt...

This is the Mulshi dam, where we are not allowed to enter the vicinity of the dam....but we got to see it from nearby hilltop!!
This was the view that we got on the way to Mulshi...
Overall, the trip was very good... had a wonderful time there... !!
