The best time to cross the Western ghats is during the monsoon season. It is just the most amazing scenic view that one can imagine, lush green mountains, small waterfalls on every mountain or atleast on most of them, clouds and mist kissing your vehicle and you passing through them and the omni present rain in the form of drizzle or downpour. Isnt this all so amazing!!
Well i had to go to Pune from Mumbai for work reasons and i preferred to travel by the expressway. The expressway cuts across the western ghats to reach Pune. The western ghats start from Khopoli and end after Lonawala. The total stretch would be around 30 odd kilometres but it is an amazing stretch. Valleys, mountains, waterfalls, tunnels, lakes in the distance, greenery, all of it in abundance. When it is about to rain the clouds descend to the ghats and the view at that time is absolutely magical and very romantic too. You would love to be sitting there on the hillside and all of a sudden the clouds would engulf you (trust me it is not scary).
Here are some pics which i took on my way to Pune.
Hope you guys enjoy the pics :)
Cheers!!
