We all know how over crowded lonavala has become. You are all fired up for your weekend and last thing you want to happen is getting stuck in another traffic jam.
Sad but thats exactly most of the people face on weekend when they head for oversold "Bhushi Dam"
Now the obvious question is if not lonavala then where?
The answer is - Head to Tamhini.
Next question - why Tamhini.
I will give you 3 reasons to do so.
1. Roads are awesome
Thanfully state govt has done wonders with the roads. Only a small patch is bad but otherwise its all concerete road or proper tar road. This also increases the risk of accident as revellers do get high and hit road. So keep your eye on the road .
2. Waterfalls everywhere...
Once you cross shere village, waterfalls will be in plenty. You can find all the way till end of ghat when you start decending towards Bhagad Midc. You can pick and choice which one you want for aqua therapy.
3. Luxury in wilderness
If you hunt for luxury in wilderness, you have choice here. Bashos is in en route to Tamhini and can be good pit stop. Orchard cafe is another one towards the end ghat. If you dont want luxury makeshift bhajji and bhutta places spring up during monsoon all along.
Last one....you dont have to pay hefty toll to visit Tamhini :-)
Call me miser but i hate paying exorbitant tolls. With lonavala you will have to pay expressway toll. Over here its all free. Enjoy it till it lasts..:-)
