My parents and my sister came over Pune before New Year. I have made lots of planning for them. Day trip to Sinhagad-Lavasa is the first of them.
My sister and me started off on my bike before sunrise and it was freezing out side. On the way, we found some fire to warm us up. It took around 2 hours to reach Sinhagad Fort. Even at 8:00am it was chilling at the top. We had famous Bhakri-Pithla of Sinhagad as breakfast.
We took a walk along the side-walls of the fort and we found quite a variety of birds.
We decided to take a peripheral tour of the fort and so we moved forward.
As we crossed Wind Point, we reached the part of the fort, which offers bit of challenge with uneven land and ruined walls.
It took more than 2 hours to complete the peripheral tour. We had lunch on the highway and moved for Lavasa. It's always been a pleasure to ride on the roads of Lavasa.

It took another two hours to Lavasa. I have been to Lavasa in early monsoon this year. Never expected Lavasa to be this much beautiful in Winter.

We spend quite a time taking photos here and there.
In the evening, we had some Subway wrappers and Gola and were waiting to see Lavasa in the night.
We left Lavasa at around 8 pm as I needed to drive 70 more kilometers to reach my flat. I was wishing I could have brought my parents.

Hi thr. Nice blog with pics. Me and my sister are also planning to visit the fort on our kinetic honda. Was wondering if the ghat roads were safe to ride there? Did you guys switch off the engine on your way back downhill? Need some tips, Thanks, Kusum.
ReplyDeleteI will advice not to go on ghat roads on Kinetic Honda, as I guess this scooter is pretty old. Even I will say don't go on any kind of scooter or scooty until and unless you are a very good driver. As the scooter or scooty has small wheels, it could be dangerous on turns. Drive safe in Monsoon.
DeleteAbout roads, there are okay except a 2-3 km stretch at the middle and that part is pretty bad. There are 2 ways to the top once from Kharagwasla which I have taken another is via Khed. no idea about this route.
I will say take a bus from Swargate to Sinhagad base. then trek the rest. It will be a 90-100 min trek to the top.
Thanks for your suggestion. We can take activa of my friend. We will only travel after monsoon. How about the downhill ride, did you guys switch off the engine on your way back? Thanks
ReplyDeletesorry for late reply. u can switch off the engine. but careful while doing.
