This monsoon is special
one for me as out of 8 weekends since the monsoon has started I have been
roaming and visiting new destinations. I travelled on 7 weekends out of 8 so
that tells the story of how desperate I "am" and I "was" since last year when I
missed my monsoon season due to my USA travel from July to Oct.
Monsoon is season of
fresh air, cool weather, wet muddy roads , getting lost in foggy trails, getting completely drenched out in
rain, eating “Garam Kanda Bhaji” and having tea in rain, Riding with rain showers and
experiencing the extreme adventure.
I am very happy to
present this photo blog for last 7-8 weeks which covers around 1200 kms of total
distance with my Macho Bullet ( she is
about to complete 10000kms ) and my new Beast Ertiga ( she is just 700 kms old ).
I truly believe that riding is adventurous and
driving is fun and I enjoy doing both.
Traveling is passion for me and seeing the unseen makes me go crazy.

23 June 2013 : Bheemashankar Monsoon Trip ( By Private Bus )
Bheemashankar was a fun ful
trip with my office colleagues and their family members and few of my friends. Organized by “Trekdi” this trip was again a
eventful where we went ot “Gupt Bheemashankar” through dence forest where birds
were chirping and many waterfalls where crossing our way. This was truly refreshing.
Fog, Rain, Wind, Hot Corn, Dense Forest What more one can ask ....!
The Group :
7th July 2013 Varandha
Ghat - Shivtharghal – Tamhini ( By Van )
This trip was with my
cousin brothers and family and it was unplanned as far as the destination is
considered, as initially we were supposed to go to bhuleshwar temple near sasvad
but at the last moment we decided to go to Shivtharghal. In the end it proved to be really adventurous and
refreshing as varandha ghat was at it
best and it had hundreds of waterfalls on the way.

Awesome view on the way towards Shivtharghal :
14th July 2013 Bhuleshwar -
Diveghat - Bopdevghat ( My Macho Bullet)
This was wonderful bike
ride with office colleagues and friends to
Bhuleshwar temple on my bullet. Weather
was nice ghat roads were joyful to ride. It was short trip but was memorable one.
21 July 2013 Morgao
Someshwar ( My First Ertiga Trip )
This was first trip with
my new best Maruti Ertiga. ( A feeling called LUV J ) . This was more of a family trip to a religious
place with my wife, mom, dad, aunt, uncle and cousin brother. Morgaon ganapti
and someshwar temple both are nice places to visit in this season as there is
not much rush. My new Beast was smooth
on bumpy roads and was fast as well.
28 July 2013 Rohida Trek ( Ertiga on Adventure Ride )
Rohida fort is near bhor.
Although it is near pune this trek was one of the memorable trek as the weather was extremely windy and it
coulnt let us stand while climbing up and coming down.
Dence fogg at the top of the fort was awesome.
Adventure does not stop
here. Monsoon is just half done and there are many more destinations which are
inviting so I need to get busy planning next trips lets stop here.
"Like all great travelers, I have seen more than I remember,
and remember more than I have seen."
