As usual we are in and out of bloggerland....lazy at times, busy at times...travelling at times but finally we are here with our blog after a very long time!
This was our first visit to Pune in the western state of Maharashtra, India for a short one week trip visiting close friends. Getting away from the terribly HOT(49 degree Celsius) and humid weather was a big relief!!
On our way we were greeted by pleasant weather where the monsoon clouds romanced the mountains amidst the greens, a welcome change from the desert heat.

Our drive from Mumbai to Pune was about three and a half hours. Once we were at our friends place we just lazed around for the rest of the day - catching up after years...
The next day we planned a trip to Tamhini Ghat, located on the crest of the Western Ghat mountain ranges.Tamhini Ghat is noted for its surroundings comprising scenic waterfalls, lakes and dense woods specially during the monsoon season.
Our friend had already hired a car and so we were off around 11 a.m really excited and the weather was sunny and warmed our spirits!!
As the GPS indicated, we had arrived at the Tamhini Ghat where we stopped and this is what we saw...

Took a few more shots only to realize that this was not the Tamhini Ghat we were looking for. On checking with local people we found the actual ghat was around 90 odd Kms from this location. Technology had failed us for some reason. So off we went searching for the real Tamhini...
Enroute we were glad to witness the fog...the heavy downpour of rains and excited kids wanting to get wet in the rain...something we miss in Dubai.
Some shots captured on the way...

A train traverses through the mountain range, quite oblivious of its pristine surroundings...

It was already dusk by the time we took this last pic and had a long way to drive back. So even if we never really got to Tamhini Ghat we thoroughly enjoyed our trip with the beautiful landscapes, waterfalls, rains, local food. A real balm for our parched souls...and above all in company of close friends. Kids made up their own jingle every time it poured. It was really about the journey not the destination.

I absolutely love misty, cool weather and lush green trees and cliffs so I would probably love a visit to Tahmini Ghat. Only problem is I'm not sure I could handle the weather in other parts of India enroute to the cooler climes. Your photos let me enjoy it vicariously.
ReplyDeleteHello Shantana,
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful pictures.
Great this view over that wonderful area. Nice with the waterfalls and to see the passing train.
A wonderful place to be, I think.
Many greetings,
Marco

Magnificent views you have shown us today. What a wonderful trip even you did not get to where you wanted to go.
ReplyDeletereally spectacular views and your header photo is amazing.. just love it. thanks for stopping by my blog
ReplyDeleteSeems like you had a great visit back to India. I almost went through Dubai a couple of years ago but changed plans at the last minute. I would love to do some birding there one day.
ReplyDeleteDavid,Dubai is not really a great place for birding because of the heat! You are welcome to visit Dubai and us anytime :)
DeleteOne day I might just do that! Same thing applies in reverse. If ever you find yourself in southern Ontario be sure to let me know.
DeleteSure will do.If you plan a trip here please make it during winters as summers we have the temperatures soaring up to almost 50 degrees Celsius..it's really BAD then.
DeleteWonderful views into the nature. Great !
ReplyDeleteBest, Synnöve
Thank you for sharing this incredible scenery. Those views are truly spectacular.
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful scenery. I'm not a fan of fog but you make it very appealing! I love thinking about your kids being so happy to see rain!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful scenery!
ReplyDeleteBreathtaking scenery! I am with Sallie, I love thinking about your kids being so happy to see rain..I get excited at the prospect of being in the snow or having a cold front move through our area, lol :-) I am one of your newest followers!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your scenery very much! It's great that the kids could enjoy themselves as they traveled.
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos of your special day out with your friends. So green and lush as you traveled through the magnificent scenery.

ReplyDeleteHappy Weekend to you,

Outstanding sceneries.
ReplyDeleteWorth a Thousand Words
Such vibrant landscapes! Love the clouds and fog. When I lived for a while in the Mojave Desert of southern California it seldom rained, and the children and adults would run out into the streets and dance in the rain as it was such a novelty.
ReplyDeleteyour country is very beautiful. Much greener then I would have thought :)
ReplyDeleteHello !! Great to see such spectacular views !
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your photos !
