Its been a while away from blogging and I am back with another travelogue from recent trip to Bhandardara. This time with my ex colleague's from Greytrix, my previous employer. The dates were 14, 15 july 2018. To start with, it was not so difficult choice between Lonavla and Bhandardara for rainy outing since the hype around lonavla is bringing in hell lot of crowd there nowadays. Its certainly not a place where you want to go for leisure anymore. Anyways so we set foot for first outing with this group to Bhandardara knowing little or nothing about the place. Couple of pick up/Tea halts at Thane and Bhiwandi bypass and we were on our way through Mumbai Nashik highway. It was indeed one beautiful day for an outing. Climate on the way through Kasara ghat and around was simply amazing. Just beofre Ghoti bypass driver decided to take a route well known to him (unknown to us:-)) and our journey from highway to bhandardara uphill started through narrow but very well...
Hello readers! Its been a while me and my LTI colleagues were planning boys only outing. As you know in such scenario, "Goa is always on!". Yes the plan was on and as all Goa plans do, we jumped the date many times. Well, better late than never and we finally locked the holi long weekend of 2018, March 2nd to 4th. On day 1 I started at 4:30 Am in the morning from Mulund to reach Thane for 5:30Am train. Almost everyone in the group started around same time. Can't remember getting up so early for work in many years. Well, thats the magic of Goa trips! Suddenly all rickshawala's vanished from Mulund and had to enjoy a good bit of 20 minutes adventurous (through scary jungle of stray dogs) walk to Mulund station. Greeted with closed ticket counters in Mulund east and managed to get ticket in Mulund west just 1 minute prior to Thane train. ufff.. In thane was greeted with smiley faces of boys gang and immediately the fun is on! Joking hahas and huhus.. Wel...
