  • [Photo Feature]: Ride to Chill - Murud Janjira - Divegar - Shrivardhan - PratapGadh

    Me and Kashif went for a 2 days trip to Murud Janjira,Divegar,Shrivardhan and Pratapgadh.

    This was another unplanned trip which happened last month.I know i am bit late..but ki farq painda he

    Day 1 - Pune - Murud Janjira - Diveagar

    The idea of the ride started with the lazy attitude." Ki chalo divegar jayenge..Beach pe aaram Pharmayenge..Sunrise aur Sunset dekhenge..Feeling ke liye thodi bahut Madira grahan kar lenge aur Sunday shaam muh utha ke wapis aa jayenge"

    So me and Kashif discussed that we will start bit late as Diveagar is just a half day ride from Pune.Kashif was about to meet me at Magarpatta City main gate,I reached bit early there.So for time pass I had one tea..10 mins already and no sign of Kashif.

    Meanwhile I saw the chaiwala has prepared Garama Garam POHA,damn being a big fan of Poha Jalebi I couldn’t control myself. One bite of Poha and it was such a relief, in sometime Kashif arrived and we had few more plates of Poha Jalebi and Tea. So all in all We were done with our Morning Lunch. We started from there around 8:00 AM.I took the lead because I knew shortcut from Magarpatta to Chandni Chowk,it was long one though :P
    We took the shortest route between Pune and Diveagar,which is Pune - Mulshi - Nizampur - Managaon - Mhasala - Diveagar.

    Rode non stop till Mulshi Lake, and it was time for a photo break. Calm Water of Mulshi Lake surrounded by the mystic sahyadri ranges. The sight was very beautiful



    Some posergiri with my dearest Dhanno :P





    While clicking photographs Me and Kashif started to discuss, Boss we will reach Divegar before afternoon, what we are going to do there rest of the day. Let’s cover some other place as well and then we will go to Diveagar.
    So after long discussion about the available places nearby we zeroed on Murud - Janjira.Though I been to Murud Janjira plenty of time. But ek baar aur sahi .Because every time you go to places like these you will get to know new things .

    So we reached Managaon and headed to Murund Janjira via Indapur.Pretty Soon we reached Murud Janjira.The day was very hot and humid, we decided to have lunch first as we didn't ate that much poha in the Morning Lunch .

    Beautiful fort admist Roaring Sea


    There was a queue for boarding into the boats which takes you to the Janjira fort, initially when we came the queue was very short hardly 10-15 peoples. So we purchased the entry tickets and went for Lunch. To our surprise when we came back
    The queue became very long due to the some school picnic bachha party.Damn ! Standing in such long queue in scorching heat...and that too after having heavy Lunch. So we dropped the plan of Janjira fort and returned the tickets back. The discussion of dropping the plan
    Went for an hour. Sitting on a bench under a tree watching the line move. By this time If we would have stood in the line, we must have boarded the boat and have reached Janjira Fort :P

    While we were planning to ride to Diveagar,we came to know about the ferry which takes you to Dighi and from there Diveagar is 10-15 Kms.Now that's too good .Smile and Happiness returned on the heat soaked faces.

    Some more posergiri



    In another half an hour Ferry arrived we boarded our bikes and in 10-20 mins we reached at other side at Dighi.Stopped for a sutta break and then Straight to Diveagar.Ferry saved a lot of time I say.

    Just Landed at DIGHI


    Ferry Timings
    Murud to Dighi
    7.00
    9.00
    10.30
    12.30
    14.30
    16.15
    17.15

    Went straight to the beach, rode there for few mins and came back to the village and started enquiring for accomodation.Checked in a single room for around 600-800 rs (Forgot the exact figure :P )





    I was feeling very lazy and sleepy so I went for sleep immediately after check-in. While Kashif went for Village Darshan

    I slept for around 3-4 hours, such a relief.Kashif was coming in intervals and shouting at me "abe uth jao be b*#^$*Qe ..Yaha sone ke liye aaye ho kya".Finally I woke up as I had to respect his non stop blabbering.
    Evening time and sun was about to set, we quickly rushed to the beach to get some clicks and poser shots of course.

    Kashif Bhai


    Biru Bhai :P


    And the lovely Beach


    And when sun sets down






    Spent some good 1-2 hours posing and clicking. And we returned to the den and one big question came "kya plan he".Beers to beat the heat. Went to the town bought beers and snacks. And the party begins

    After the party we went back to the beach to do some night photography but didn't get any good shots as we didn't carried any tripod. So such a wonderful day comes to an end.

    Day 2 log in Progress

    Cheers
    Biru
