Road to BhimaShankar. This was perhaps the most difficult snap ever clicked by me. It was 4 in the night and we were some where on the Nashik road. The mission was to capture both the moon n its refelection in one shot. Now i feel that i could handle the job in a decent way :)
This was clicked on my way to Panshet Dam. I love the way the rivers curves n slowly dissapears behind the mountain.
The Tamhini Valley - My favorite spot around pune :)
Coonoor.
Year's Last Sunset at Kashid Beach.
Blue Mormon Resort - BhimaShankar.
Road to Lonavla.This is perhaps the most spectacular drive. The Tamhini-Lonavla Road is the easiest way to reach Lonavla from Tamhini Ghat. The drive is around 52 Kms. and its breathtaking.
Tamhini Fall.

Waterfall at Tamhini.
Bheda Ghat - Outskirts of Jabalpur also called Niagra Fall of India. The best time to visit this place is on a full moon night. The place is huge and is made up of white marbels. I have heard that its amazing to seen the moon's reflection.
Path of the adventorous Sinhagad Trek.
Tamhini.Located 65 km west of Pune, Tamhini is a hilly place near Mulshi Dam. The area is blessed with waterfalls, verdant valleys and lush evergreen forests. The temple dedicated to Vinzai Devi and the beautiful Devrai (sacred grove) full of some interesting flora adds to the charm of the place. The forests are rich with birdlife including certain colorful birds and insects. Tamhini is easily accessible from Pirangut off Mulshi Dam. Pirangut is 26 km from Pune station. There is a temple dedicated to Vinzai Devi in the village Tamhini near Mulshi in Pune District.Vinzai devi is Durga devi. Thus the slain animal which she has at her feet is a buffalo, the buffalo form has been taken by the devil 'Mahisasur'. The battle is described in the Devi Mahatmaya.
Sinhagad at 7 in the morning.
Tamhini.
On way to Lonavla from Tamhini. What you can see is a small pond from where the water was flowing. It was fun to swim in core monsoon .... with fog covering you from every where :)
Sunset Point - Mahabaleshwar.
Backside of Sinhagad.
Tamhin Fall - I have rarely seen a place which has so many small water falls. Its like heaven when you visit this place during peak monsoon time.
On way to Mahabaleshwar.
Blue Mormon Resoort - BhimaShankar. Perhaps the most "foggy" morning i have ever witnessed. It is 10 in the morning and hardly any thing around was visible.
Its hard to believe that this snap was captured at around 5:30 in the evening. I have never seen such dense cloud and also its this color of teh cloud is quite rare. Things were hardly visible and Im glad I clicked one to remember this forever.
Malshej Ghat.
Lonavla Dam at 7 in the evening.
Morning 5:30 - Birla Temple - Kashid Beach.
BhimaShankar Valley. It was a memmerizing experience when we drove in this valley. Its just before the Blue Mormon Resort. It also reminds me of the worst car breakdown.
Road to BhimaShankar. The snap is clicked near BhimaShankar at around 6:15 in the morning. We left pune at around 3 so that we reach BhimaShankar Temple early in the morning. This snap mostly reminds me of the best sunrise i have ever seen till now.
Mulshi at its best .
Sinhagad Fort.
Drive to BhimaShankar Temple.
Tahmini .. Monsoon at its peak .. and this particular place was covered by mountains from all the four sides with numerous waterfalls.
Park in Coonoor.

Ice cold water neat Tamhini Valley.
Apart from the fact that Pavna Dam has a beautiful view, the place has an emotional importance. This use to be our favorite destination during my graduation time. I still recollect the memories of those golden days and how easily we use to swim and go the island seen in this picture. Sit there for long time and share lovely thoughts.
Botanical Garden - Ooty.
Heavy crowded Lonaval on 15th Aug. There were around 3 Lakhs people in Lonavla that day :)
Archers Seat -Mahabaleshwar. Queen of all points. Some compare the stractification of rocks on southern side to the world famous stratification of rocks of the Grand Canyon of Colarado. USA. It is facinating to see the barren deep valley Savitri on the left & shallow green valley on the right. It is more facinating to know that Archer's seat is the only place showing geographical distinction of kokan & Desh (Deccan), two territories of Mahabaleshwar, so clear & so near.
View of Khadakvasla dam from Sinhagad fort.
BhimaShankar.Bhimashankar is located in the Western Ghats mountain range in Pune district in Maharashtra, India. The nearest town and railway junction is Karjat. It is home to an ancient Hindu temple dedicated to Lord Shiva, one of the twelve esteemed Jyotirlinga shrines and is associated with Shiva destroying the demon Tripurasura.
Arthur's Seat.Queen of all points. Some compare the stractification of rocks on southern side to the world famous stratification of rocks of the Grand Canyon of Colarado. USA. It is facinating to see the barren deep valley Savitri on the left & shallow green valley on the right. It is more facinating to know that Arthur's seat is the only place showing geographical distinction of kokan & Desh (Deccan), two territories of Mahabaleshwar, so clear & so near.

Speedy Boat ride in Pavna Dam.
View from the bank of Pavna Dam. It was a beautiful sight as the clouds float over the peak of the mountain. We reached this place via paud-hadsi which made the drive even more special and adventurous.
Relaxing and soothing boat ride in Mahabaleshwar. Its the famous Veena Lake which is gotta see only in my 4th trip to Mahabaleshwar. All the time I used to go to Mahabaleshwar during peak monsoon time and had just heard that there is a Lake "out there" which I used to believe coz I had no other choice :)
Hadsi-Pavna Road. Hadsi has a beautiful temple on the top of a mountain and its around 30 Kms from Pune. The drive from Hadsi to Pavna Dan is simple awesome and the road is primarily covered by waterfalls, dam and lush green mountains.
It was really difficult to capture this waterfall. It took me time but I managed to get a glimpe os it.
A foot back n its all over.
Parsi Point - Panchgani. The name Parsi Point is said to derive from the fact that in earlier days, this was a favourite spot of the Parsi Community. Like the Europeans the Parsis too had realized that great good could be derived from the salubrious climate of Panchgani for both the young & old of their Community. Parsi Point offers you one of the most breath-taking panorama of the Krishna Valley.
Niddle Point - Mahabaleshwar. This place is called Niddle's Point. Its near Kate's Point in Mahabaleshwar. If you love Horse Ride in the natural scenic beauty then this is teh place where you should be. The best part about this snap is that I clicked it while I was sitting on a Horse :)
