Sometimes, you just need to step out. Out into the open, far – or at least far enough – from home, and take with you nothing but your spirit of adventure. And a few sandwiches, maybe. Earlier this week, my sister and I made for Lohagad. Being mid-week, the fort was devoid of the usual crowds … More Lohagad
They say a picture is worth a thousand words… Here’s describing the sheer splendour of Tamhini Ghat in the rains, in a few thousand.
Most often, it’s the spontaneous, spur-of-the-moment ‘plans’ that turn out to be the most satisfying! The drive to Ghoradeshwar was just that! It was a beautiful Sunday morning, and I, instead of going to church, impulsively decided on a drive instead. Being dragged out of bed so early and climbing a hill wasn’t quite the … More Ghoradeshwar
The lovely, Monsoon weather, and a mid-week holiday presented the perfect opportunity to set out on a trek – again! My friends and I had trekked to Visapur Fort last, an excursion that had left some of us aching all over the following day. So this time, we chose Tikona Fort, an easy, scenic climb, … More Trek to Tikona Fort
It was a damp, darkish Saturday morning last weekend, thanks to heavy cloud cover, but there was no rain. Perfect weather for a drive! An impulsive decision and a quick breakfast later, my family and I were on the road to Satara. The change in scenery beyond Satara was sudden and breathtaking. The traffic and … More Thoseghar Falls and Chalkewadi Windmill Farms, Satara
There’s no end to all the crazy, stupid things you can do when you’re with friends – but the stories you get to tell – and retell – are simply epic. Like the trek to Visapur Fort. We started out early on Saturday morning, in three cars, and drove to the base of Visapur Fort. … More The Visapur Adventure
Think Goa, and you think beaches. But there’s so much more to Goa, as we recently discovered. If you look beyond the sand and the surf, you’ll find vast wildlife sanctuaries and forest area, where it’s cooler, less humid, and way more peaceful. We drove from Pune to Goa on the 30th of December, to … More Dudhsagar Falls, Goa
If you’re simply vegetating, with the Internet for company, I’d say put away your laptop and grab your car keys! Head to Kas coz it’s the flowering season there, and the plateau looks like a slice of paradise! Kas has been on my list of must-see places, and this year, I made it there – … More Kas Plateau, Maharashtra
Somewhere earlier on this blog, I had mentioned my love for nature – flowers in particular. I had also made a wish list of sorts, of the flower-filled places I’d like to visit sometime in the future. Happy to say, I ticked one place off that list 2 weeks back. The Kas Plateau in Maharashtra … More Road to Kas
The Monsoons have a way of bringing everything to life – even the dormant yearning for long drives that stays buried through the fiery summer heat only to emerge afresh along with nature in all its vivid tints and shades of green. We drove to Tamhini Ghat last weekend, in perfect Monsoon weather. Once we … More Drive to Tamhini Ghat
They say the journey is more important than the destination. It was a good thought to hold on to, when my friends and I trekked to Lohagad (Iron Fort), one rainy weekend in July, and returned without having seen most of it. It had been pouring continuously that past week. The day of our trek … More Trek to Lohagad
