Trip to Lonavala..





Sorry for posting so late.. Sunday did not come online and then was too busy.

Well to start with the timings did not match with what was given in the itinerary. We were suppose to leave Mumbai by 6 but instead left at 8. Then there were many halts in between, so by the time we reached there it was already beyond 10.30..
The first destination was Bushi Dam. And it was the last one also. Well you know how difficult is to manage 80 people specially when many of them are first time visitors. We spent 3.5 hrs at the same place and almost all of them went up the mountain for the waterfall.

Let me talk about the climate. It was mind blowing. Visibility was very low. Not only near the mountains but also in the actual city. That was something new for me even if I have visited that place for almost 20 times. That made my day.

Then at around 2.30 pm we left bushi dam to fill our stomachs. We went straight to Ram krishna restaurant, the most famous in that hill station. Then waited for nearly 2 hrs for others to finish their lunch. Set out from lonavala at around 6 pm and stopped in between, before expressway, for others to enjoy the near zero visibility on the road. Some mumbaikar even mentioned it as Khandala. :-D

Forgot to mention that all this time it was continuously raining out there. And the same thing was happening back home. So that took time for us in reaching back home. Took some advice while return journey and instead got down at Bandra as it was raining heavily and all over the western expressway there was major traffic jam.

In the end nothing was planned as per the itinerary, but I enjoyed the best climate in Lonavala. Not to mention making some cool friends on the return trip and the heated discussion among we lukkha's about one year planning in NMIMS. This discussion might seem illogical for the others in the batch but mind it, hearing the discussion could have given the greatest scholar/nerd the shock of his life.

Cia folks. Will post about new adventure soon, only if it happens.
