Visit to Ghodegaon(200 KM from BOM)

This is my personal experience about Ghodegaon which come under Pune city, we seven of all had decided to go to Ghodegaon for our 02 days hangout, so the six out of seven has decided to go on afternoon so they started at 04:30 PM from Vikhroli park site and they reach around 03’O clock on bike.
I catch the bus from Sarvoday around 10:30 PM and reach around 05:30 AM at Ghodegaon bus station, where I met Mr. Arun Kokane, we search for autorickshaw for Chincholi, but we couldn’t get that so we walk together till Kokanyanchi chincholi which is around 03 KM from Bus station and around 30 to 40 Minutes from Bus station.
So we all slept tilll 09:30 AM and after finishing our morning activities and we proceed for Bhimashankar which is around 44 KM from Ghodegaon all zigzag road which takes around one and half hour from Ghodegaon, so we reach to bhimashankar and we visit to Old temple at Bhimashankar which is ancient and built up on 17th Century.
After pooja we been to visit one one which is 01 and half kilometer from temple so we all of us been there and without any timepass, we proceed for Ahupe Ghat which is arount 03 hours by Bike 65 KM by Road, also there is one shortcut from bhimashankar from where we can go within 02 and half hour like after 14 to 15 Kilometere there is one left turn from Bhimashankar towards ghodegaon from where Ahupe is 15 KM, but we cannot go by bike over there after 15 KM we have to walk for 05 KM which is around 01 & half hour. So we had taken longer route. After 30KM from Bhimashankar towards Ghodegaon there is one left turn where you can see big Banner of Krushna khore prakalp, this is actully a dam of Krushna nadi, but most scenic road which I have seen ever in my life from that left turn Ahupe ghat is 51 km so we walk towards the Ahupe ghat, It was amazing experience for all of us, Like I have read in the books for Great ocean road of Australia and Garden route of South africa. I remember this tour that time, first of all We can see dam at initial stages one we proceed on that road then we enjoyed our driving right hand side we can see the montain with greeneries and left hand side heaven of Krushna river, Left hand side we can see the river which has montain backdrop that time I think this is the best road way which I have seen In my life but we couldn’t go further after 30 to 35 Km b’coz one of our friend slpet from bike and heavy rain was that time,so we decided to move towards ghodegaon.
One the way to Ghodegaon We had tea at one small Dhaba and after that ahead towards the Ghodegaon and around 06:15 we reach to Ghodedgaon, we coundn’t reach till top of Ahupe Ghat but I will definitely visit that place once again and Visit to Ahupe Ghat.
That day we booked one lodge and we stayed over there for whole night and next morning we back to bombay for our normal work, but I will definitely say this was a best experience for me and all of us.
