Malshej Ghat

Puneits have a lot of choice to enjoy rains amidst natural and beautiful surroundings because they are lucky to live in a city that is surrounded by so many places where abundant scenic beauty is available for enjoyment, photography and relaxation. Earlier I have mentioned about places nearer to the sea on the Pune - Kolhapur - Goa - Ratnagiri (konkan) route in my blog. This place is off the Pune - Nashik road. It is approx 116 km from Pune. You can click here for the Google Map and exact directions.


On way, you may stop at the "Awsari Ghat Van Udyan", which is a must see. It is on Awsari Ghat about 62 km from Pune. 

Malshej is a beautiful place. Rains bring clouds, fog, waterfalls, greenery, chill in the air on one side and on the other creatures like crabs and scorpions crawling on the road in case you are not careful enough  to see them.
But all said and done "Barish mein Malshej ka ek Trip toh banta hai".
Malshej not only gives you plenty of enjoyment in monsoons, its also worth seeing in the winters. If you are lucky enough, you might spot a few Flamingos (the migratory birds) in the month of October.

While at Malshej, you may stop at the MTDC Resort. A cup of hot tea in the rains just adds to the fun.
Don't wait to just plan plan and plan. But instead plan plan and plan to just go go and go. Have fun!!!
