Absolute stunning drive to Lavasa and back yesterday.. while, Pune, just 30 km away has this pitter patter rain, Lavasa was shrouded in thick fog, and heavy rains, with gusty winds. Samara absolutely loved the drive, and I thoroughly enjoyed too! Here are some pics...

| The huge dam suddenly appears on your right, without warning... forcing you to take a break and admire it. And then you wonder, how's that water flowing out from the middle of the dam wall? Is it by design, is it a leak? Is it even safe to be standing on this side of the dam, or am I just going to see, for real, what happens when the dam gives in and bursts open? |

| Rain and fog combine to make it surreal |
 |
| The steep climbs challenge even the most powerful of engines... add the hair pin bends to it, and it's just one of the most amazing, enjoyable drives, that too, so close to the bustling city! |
 |
| Dozens of waterfalls along the way. There is one with crystal white water on the left, and muddy brown on the right... couldn't capture it though, because it was dangerous to stop on the bend, and raining too hard for me to venture out |
 |
| Just a beautiful view of the lake, the quaint buildings and the majestic hills in the background, capped by fog. Sadly, the beauty hides the tragedy - almost all buildings are unoccupied, and the whole "city" is under danger of remaining a ghost town for ever. |
