Thamni Ghats – Once again

Bikes parked outside Centre One, Vashi.

All riders were at Centre One, by 6. Sachin surprised everyone by showing up in his alternate white beast, a White Fortuner instead of his White ZMR.

Hit the roads by quarter past 6 and stopped at Hotel Konkan Palace, Pen for a very early brunch.

Machines Parked outside the Hotel.

Some Hyosung Pics. This bike looks much much better in flesh than in the pics.

Glimpes of what we had.

Viraj left us here and rode back home. While the rest of us proceeded towards Pali.

1st Waterfall Spotting: p

Avinash, Sachin and Ajay went in to take the blessings of Lord Balleleshwar. I was too lazy to remove the shoes hence skipped a temple visit. As they returned we proceeded towards Vile Phata

Didn't bother to stop at Vile Phata. Continued further on the Vile-Thamni Ghats- Amby Valley Route.

The bad roads came to an end as we reached Amby Valley. The roads in this route was absent in my previous trips. The Melroy’s face said it all. He said that this stretch was the toughest of his life. The ride from here to Tiger hill was in fog-rain combo conditions, this is the reason for mumbaikars and punekars creating traffic jams at Tiger hills.

At Tiger Hill the Bhajiyas was what we feasted upon.

From here the ride back home was rather a big pain in the ass. The traffic Jam which begun in Bushi dam continued till Fariyas resort. Sachin and Melroy were stuck in the jam while the rest of us escaped and were waiting for them to show up. Melroy joined us but still no signs of the Fortuner. More than an hour later, big man Sachin showed up with his big machine with frustration evident in his face. He took the expressway route and escaped. Everyone tanked up and started riding towards Datta Snacks for the next stop.

From Datta snacks, Ajay and Vivek missed a trun on the Bypass and landed in Uran, where Ajays bike refused to start. He had to bring his bike next day.
