Refreshing Retreats Near Pune: Mulshi

Today I am going to share with you an all season must visit place just 60 kms from Pune - Mulshi.

This is the perfect choice when you just want a quick and reachable break from the hectic Pune life (Non- Puneits can also enjoy when they are on a short trip to Pune and want to see the beauty Pune is known to be surrounded with).

In summers you can go there to eat the 'Karvandas' and picnic by the lakeside and also get a nice treat of seeing jackfruit trees laden with the huge fruits hanging from the main stem.

During rains it is very crowded because there are so many waterfalls and people chilling out in the rains eating Bhuttas and Bhajiyas and sipping warm tea at one of the many stalls which come up only during this season as this is earning time for the villagers around.

If you are planing to go to Diveagar, Dapoli or Tamhini Ghat, you can go through Mulshi to add to your refreshing plan. I have visited this place with my family and friends so many times that I have lost count.

I have at least 8-10 albums dedicated to the memories of this place. I cannot post all of them but I am posting the selected best all season pics for you so that you get an idea of what you are missing - just in case you haven't been there.

If you are going for a picnic- either you eat at one of the many restaurants that have come up for the urban crowd - Specially one called 'Tasty Bites' which offers everything hot right from 'Wada Pav' to 'Pithla Bhakri' or you can carry your picnic food basket and eat by the lakeside (as we often do) - both ways it is fun and enjoyment.
