Visit to Pune...!!!

Huuufff.....well its time for one more trip.....by dis time i was thinking of giving trekking a small break. So what else comes to the mind to met some outstations friends. So the plan was to visit pune to met a college friend over there. Well apart from meeting old ones, plan includes to visit some sourrounding places also. So me and vikas went to met another vikas :).
We booked a volvo bus ticket through ksrtc. The journey to pune was quite comfortable coz of volvo. we started from blore around 5:30pm and reached pune main bus stand by 8:00 am. My friend was waiting there to pick us to his home. we were meeting after around 1n haf year so had a small get to gether party @ his room only....PARTYY....:).
Well doing party party it was around 4 pm, den we decided to visit mulshi dam owned by TATA.
As a medium to go there we were having a pulsar and one safari urf ram-pyari aur na jane kya kya(hamara BAJAJ super)...heehehee.

Thas was around 20 km from our room. On the way while going there you can found some bit of indian grand canyon. Dont mind they are just small hills which look alike grand canyon, which is originally in US. It took around 1 n haf hour for us to be there. Entry to the lake near the dam is strictly prohibited so what one can do is just have a look around for some scenerys or else can spend some quality time at the bank of lake, which most of the people do via having small picnics.

one more...!!!

After spending some time over there we started to get back to our room. On the way we had just 1 or 2 small stops just to have a look over pune city in night. It was 9 by the time we were at our room. Started to make some plans for the next 2 days but cudnt reached to any concorete one n while discussing the planning everyone got asleep.
Next day we got some plans either to visit khandala etc or go for any near by beach. Finally decided to visit the beachs of divya-aagre and sri-vardhan which were aournd 170 km from pune one side. We hire a taxy for 2 days to cover the near by places of beach.

on the way to Sri-vardhan

We started around 12:00 pm and finally we reach sri-vardhan around 5:30pm.

sun-set @ beach...!!!

This place is not so much commercialised and very few people knows about it. As it was the getting dark so we first book a room for night stay. After that we just roam in the town for few minutes and plan to go to beach. We bought some stuff for snacks and head towards beach. We came back from beach late night and had some dinner over there in some local restru. Next morning as soon as we woke up we went directly to beach to have some bath and games :). One
important thing about beach at sri-vardhan, its a wonderfull beach with its clear water. Even you can easily see sand grains in sea form height of 3 feet. we spend around 5-6 hr over there and its time to go back.

We went to our hotel and did check out over there. Now its time to visit sourrounding places. There are the 2 more places must see near by, One is diyva-aagre and other is one ganpati temple which have a very old gold murti of lord ganesha. So we head towards divya aagre first. There a very beautifull road stretch of 3-4 km along sea beach.
