Even though I am not coming to the ride, please allow me to express a few opinions about the points to be seen, as I am quite familiar with the area.

Doable. While taking darshan, make sure you first visit Kalbhairav's temple, then Shivji's temple, then again Kalbhairav's temple. This is the tradition there.
• Birth Place of Srimant First Peshwa - Maratha Kingdon (10 kms)
Doable
• A Gram Devata - Somajadevi (10 Km)
Doable
• Jeevaneshwar Temple - Swayambhu Shivpind (12 kms)
No idea about this place, maybe will see the pics from you.
• Jeevnabander - Fish Port (12 kms)
Doable
• Pure Gold Casting Ganpati Idol - Diveagar (21 kms)
Actually the Ganpati idol is not gold. Original idol is regular stone one with Shendur. The gold mask is the one which was found in nearby farm by a lady, in 1990s.Doable.
• Devkhot Pandv era Caves
I think they are bit far, and won't be possible
• Shrivardhan Sea Shore (10 kms)
Not much to see, if you are heading to Dive agar, better enjoy there.
• Aaravi - Shekhadi - Walvti most beautiful sea shore (13-21 kms)
Must do!
• Shrivardhan Town
Nothing to see, maybe you'll enjoy the charm of old village like atmosphere, but be careful of traffic. Once an idiot crashed into me whose mechanic was test riding his CBZ. Mechanic went unharmed, and escaped, and the guy tried to rip me off by claiming the bike repair charges to me. Luckily, the rickshawalas saved me and took my side. So be careful when you are in the village.
• Laxmi Narayan Temple
Not much to see
• Diveagar Sea Beach (21 kms)
Must do!
• Rupnarayan Telple Diveagar (22 kms)
Don't remember myself
• Dighi Bandar - Janjira Fort (36 kms)
Not doable in one day
• Savitri River - Bankot Creek (4 kms)
Don't remember myself
• Bankot Fort ( 5kms)
Don't remember myself, but I think it will be hard to do.
• Rotha Supari of Shrivardhan
Also aamba poli and other home made stuff. While taking turn to Vadkhal while coming back, just as you make the right turn to mumbai, there is a poha mill. There you'll get the best poha.
• Bhairvnath, Kusumadevi, Rameshwar, Bharadhkol Vitthal Temple
Don't remember myself
• Bhimachi Kawad (Trekking Point)
Don't remember myself, but mostly not doable
• Tambadi (Trekking Point) Table land
No idea
• Samsher Baba Peer Darga (Trekking, "S" Waterline Point)
Not much to see

I'd suggest to rather than hurrying up to see all the places, finalize a few and enjoy them to the fullest. Take care while passing through villages. As we are in mood of highway riding, we may get bit relaxed in villages too but the residing people have got no ears for horns, so be extra careful on the roads.

One more thing, when you are in Dive agar, ask the villagers about the big square well, it's beautiful. Nearby, there is a HUGE tree whose trunk is so big, that even 5-7 people with their hands joined can't fully embrace it.

EDIT: Forgot to add this. You may want to stop on route from Mhasala to harihareshwar, 10 kms from mhasala for a net mathh of Swami Samarth temple. Nice place.

**THE DOCTOR** · 10-18-2008, 12:08 PM

Hey Bobby how r u man.............
hey guys please confirm for the ride seems no one is interested coz can’t see much reply for Harihareshwar ride………?

**2write** · 10-18-2008, 01:40 PM

Well another clash of dates for me.

Some good old friends are doing a scenic roundabout route the same weekend.

I am no longer associated with any biker clubs/ groups and only solely dependent on known friends for rides now.

They are doing:
Thane-Malshej Ghat-Shirdi-Trimbakeshwar-Jawhar-Thane

This will bring me many good photo opportunities and of course riding on roads with sparse traffic (unlike NH3 route to Shirdi/ Trimbakeshwar).

KMs ? They are gonna keep riding forever - and I am in - simply riding with the view from the road in mind.

Yours homeless (clubless) friend,
UD

**Vistaboy** · 10-18-2008, 01:59 PM
