Trip to Lonavala-Jan'14

Living in Pune gives you an advantage to visits various nearby places & to indulge with nature. Several famous vacation destination are with 100 km range that you can go different places each weekend.

For me Travelling to various interior areas of India being one of my occupational responsibility I prefer to spend quite weekends at my room or at a friends place doing nothing or anything, rather travelling to these places.

But sometimes I do get freinds from other cities to visit these nearby places for weekend and I along with them visit them. Similarly I visited Lonavala in Jan'14 with couple of friends.

LONAVALA is small hill station which finds its place at the middle of Mumbai-Pune Express Highway, It is kind of equidistant from Navi Mumbai (Khargahr) & Pune. Myself living in Pimpri Chinchwad which is towards nearer to Lonavala so its only 1.5 hrs drive to this place. Basically the best time to visit Lonaval;a is after August (during & after monsoon season). AT that time you can witness some of the best sceneries with varid effects and can enjoys some seasonal waterfalls too.

There are basically following places to visit in Lonavala,
1. Tiger Leap Point (A natural place of beautiful scenery, it seems like tiger is leaping forward)
2. Caves ( Karla, Bhaja & Bedsa caves)
3. Lonavala Lake
4. Bhushi Dam
5. Celebrity Wax Museum ( on lines of world famous Madam Tusad Museum)
6. Various Forts from Mughal & Maratha Era.

Some Pictures from my trip are as below,





















Also Lonavala is famous for its Hard Candy known as "Chikki" in local language. Do enjoy this on your trip to Lonavala.

If you are free & are in Pune do visit this place to escape from your monotonous routine and day to day life.

Have a grt time ahead...!!!

Cheers..!!!

Chapter 4- The Experience...An Unlawfull.....

The Preparation I had till now decided to go for the assignment and prove myself after all opportunity never comes again and again on your door. I was a bit excited from inside and a little bit nervous too. That time I could say it was a mixed type of feeling on percentage basis it could be, 50% excitement and 50%  fear, or 80% excitement and 20% fear, or may be vice verca i.e., 20% excitement and 80% fear. Well I really was not able to understand what I was feeling at that time and thats the best part of it. Sometimes getting out of your comfort zone helps to you see the things in this world which you really admire, events from which you take lessons and memories which you cherish through your whole life, and thats really what all life is all about. Isn't it????? So I started the preparations ... What I needed for this kind of assingment, I sat down on my chair in the cabin and listed down all the things on my note pad. The list was something...

Chapter 8- An Experience....The Unlawful one...!!!

The Tipsy Turn As I followed the vehicle I called my office at Delhi to give the instant report that I was behind the vehicle which I thought was the testing vehicle. It was also to let them call and confirm from the informer that I was behind the actual vehicle only which was supposed to be used during the tests. My doubts about the vehicle were cleared instantly over the phone as they also got it confirmed from their informer that the it was the same vehicle which was going for tests. Though the informer didn't knew that I was behind the vehicle but his info was a bit relaxing for me. We continue to keep pace with vehicle while maintaining the appropriate distance from it as to not to arise any suspicion. The road was having ups and downs just like peaks and valleys as it is on hill roads and we were losing and gaining sight of the vehicle regularly. These ups and downs were there because the whole area was built on the plateau by cutting rocks and clearing bushe...
