Long Drive to Khandala #TravelThrowback

As we were getting bore during End-term preparation leave we suddenly planned to go for a long drive to Khandala. We took scooty from a bike rental service for Rs. 240. Got petrol for Rs.200 and started from Hinjewadi Pune for Khandala. We started post lunch so the Highway was quite empty and it was a sunny afternoon. As we are on 2-wheeler we cannot take Express Highway and had to take the service road which has many diversions. We were travelling in 3 vehicles and in between one scooty went missing as they took another turn so main hurdle for long drive on bikes is this "Taking a wrong turn and getting away from the group."

The Best time to visit Lonavala Khandala or any Western Ghat is during Monsoon but you can still enjoy the ride with the view some patches of green and Blue beside the Highway.

But then we reached Lonavala as we all have visited the wax museum before we just came for a ride we headed to the Lonavala Lake as its March it is dried up.

We reached Lonavala in 1.5hr so we had some Lemon Soda and Sugarcane Juice at the Lake view and started to Khandala Sunset Point.

The View from Lonavala to Khandala is a Ghat road so the altitude difference can be felt on the ears but again we saw some less beautiful patches of waterfalls and greenery.

We reached Khandala and stopped at some Lake for the view had some soupy Maggie my experience with food at Lonavala was bad earlier also so I wont comment on food.

Then we went to the Sunset Point it got so crowded at the time of sunset that we were shocked to see so many people on a Monday evening.

The Express way view from another point is beautiful as we can see how the Road was made by carving the Ghats.

This is place is best when its monsoon but if u get bored and stay in Pune or Mumbai no need to tell you but this is the best place to travel on weekends or family outings.
