Sunday, July 20, 2008 7 Comments A+ a-

On 20'Th July 2008, all our Bizsol gang joined together to have the Best Biking trip ever.

We went to Varandha Ghat which is almost 120 K from Pune. As usual the plan was thought by me long back (My plans-- Quantity is huge but actual implementation rarely happens :)
We left pune at 7.00 AM , our Pulsars were catching 85+ all the Time, After some South Indian snacks at NATRAJ we were out of NH4 & took the road towards BHOR. 1'st spot was BHOR BHATGHAR dam. We got some company by Kaveri bus Girls ,took some nice pictures and decided to move ahead .In Summer 2007 we were there to view the inner dam it is Constructional marvel by British guys which was build in early 1900 .When water level goes down we can still view that beauty & we are the fortunate ones to claim we have seen that !!!!!!
As usual our trip favorite Bhel material we bought in Bhor and started the rough Ride .The rod condition was really poor in early stage but the scenery was so great we forgot that we were on the worst Road .

The Manson have not heavily fall this year so we were hoping we should see at least some waterfalls on the road but Luck was on our favour we got the 1'st very shortly.Vivek & i was wearing the shorts & floaters so we just directly jumped to words the main waterfall.Played with water , now with that great start all of us were so happy that we never missed single waterfall on the Road
The view of the road was incredible .Road is really the tourist Delight, On the left you have the the backwaters of Nira Devghar Dam,

on the Right you have beautiful waterfalls ,the journey continues for 45 minutes and you reach the PEAK .The monster waterfall is waiting for You with clouds all the times and all Lust Green nature everywhere your eyes can go , sometimes you wonder what is the definition of BEAUTIFUL ? The beauty must have originated from this place only!!!

The serenity of the place is just out of the world.Last week i was watching 1000 places you must see before you die on Travel and Living .After watching this beauty of Varandha i felt if you are in Maharashtra & you have not seen this Beauty then you have really missed the Best part of your Life.


Well after spending some quality time there we moved to Shivtharghal ,which is the origin of DASBODH .The Guru of Shivaji maharaj RamdasSwami stayed at that Place. The Road from Ghat to the main place was the Worst of whole journey .We were hoping safety of the Bikes as all 100 Km we travelled without a Bike service station on the Road.Luckily pulsars are Born tough so we were out of any damage. Personally i didn't like that place.
Then after taking some hot Bhajies from the local vendor we moved back.All the Bhel material was waiting for all of us. We found good place to have food and the our chefs went into action. After 30 min of preparation we had great spicy & really Delicious Bhel with the company of the beautiful peacocks on the the other side of the Road. Weather was still favoring us by giving company of of clouds all the Time.
While coming back we found this tree alone on the hill,must been warning to MICROSOFT how come you missed me as a default wallpaper on the Windows XP . Look Mr Bill gates & Microsoft team ,this can be the next wallpaper for new OS version!!!!

Then we took 50 km nonstop journey tiil Bhor while coming back, by this time everyone was holding their backs like anything .Sit on the Pulsar for 230 Km in a Single Day & you guys can exp the same thing. But the beauty of the place was so enthralling that whenever I'll remember about Varandha, I'll always feel that that was the best time which i can cherish for my entire Life .
