AP saheb, lovely pictures indeed - and those who have been following this thread can wonder about the contrast in the scenery - thanks to Mother Nature. Yes - Rain + Ghat = Wonderful Combination. But summer weaves its own magic too! MX6 has already made his intentions clear - other please follow! Miss this season - you'll repent. Make it - you'll have memories for life.... To continue, where I left - we are pretty close to Pali now - this is where the Ghat begins when you travel towards Pune -    The state of the roads have been described by me as well as by Ashish Pallod, so no need to drag it further. But, beware or be aware, it holds many surprises for the driver.. Don't be misled by the board - haven't seen a single police vehicle on the road on all our trips. Pray that you don't have a flat in this section and proceed with caution! Last edited by vrprabhu : 3rd June 2010 at 13:11. | |

| Senior - BHPian | Soon, you'll be surrounded by the Sahyadris, offering vista like these - think it is almost similar to the spot where AP stopped for his pictures...   The valley is bare and dry now. The road will get broken into patches like these very often.  |

| Senior - BHPian | Three Musketeers.... We stop for a break - to gather some ingredients for a specialty food item discussed earlier! Any guesses what it was?  This was one of the several landslides which take place during the monsoon. Luckily this appears to be more of 'mud' slide than falling boulders... some risk may have to be faced while driving during monsoon, in case of such calamity. |

| Senior - BHPian | Peaks... Since the road keeps climbing - thankfully it not very steep - you are now confident that you'll crest it without much strain... this road actually doesn't strain the vehicle and can be done with moderate speeds...  Climbing gradually unfolds the various highs of this range....  Does anyone remember seeing this? It was all 'hara bara'... missed posting it earlier!  |

| Senior - BHPian | Whew.... Keep a steady pace, ignore the heat (or the rain or whatever the season you are traveling), and enjoy the drive, it is over sooner than you realise.. and you will want to do it again (like it happens to me!)     |

| Senior - BHPian | Down Hill... Once the peak has been crested, it is all the way down and the new drama unfolds...   I have now taken the liberty of readers for granted, because I am going to intersperse a few shots of our earlier trip (which was the other way round i.e. Tamhini was done first), so as to bring out the beauty of the landscape. Remember what I said about the paints and brushes? It is just a couple of posts ahead... |

| Senior - BHPian | A couple of shots of the backwaters of the Mulshi Dam. This is summer and the waters have receded. During monsoon, it is filled to the brim    I love the second and third pictures very much. These are natural shots - no touch up or processing using any kind of software - just compression to upload them here. Even if I had the patience to learn use of such tools, I wouldn't have used them on the third one. Feel like taking a hoarding size print and pasting it on the bedroom wall |

| Senior - BHPian | Band of Brothers! This is called a "Family Tree"....  But I would like call them a "Band of Brothers"!! These don't appear to be Banyan Trees, so it is a wonder how four of them grew in two pairs!There are some more exotic trees on the way..... |
