First, the drive through Mulshi and Tamhini.. a deep gorge on one side, towering cliffs on the other, mark the beginning of the ghat. A good pit stop.
Although it was late morning, around 10 am, the mist was still hanging around...
...and a final cut through the rock, and you are in the land of sea and sand
The way back through Varandha is a lot more exciting. The towering Sahyadris make you wonder - am I really supposed to climb all the way up there?
And if you had any thoughts of tunneling through, those are quickly dispelled!
A wonderful valley greets you on the other side of the climb
And hills quickly give way to dark blue and green waters of the dam...
...the shimmering sun is absolutely mesmerizing in the waters.
Finally, as we entered Pune, this is what we were greeted with! Cloud burst in November?
