    Lavasa is best enjoyed in the early mornings.. So plan your trip accordingly. Sunday its typically chocked with a lot of SBKer and Corner carvers and things could get tricky if you have an inflated ego and deflated skills

      That would mean you guys reach Lavasa by 8:30 (which is not an ideal time) as a lot of people reach there during that time!

        Hey Satyen! does it make sense going to Lavasa by NH 17 and taking a left after Kolad and then reaching Lavasa by that ghat section? And while coming back, coming by the Pune route?

        Is the Ghat section from Kolad to Lavasa having bad roads or anything?

                  If possible try to avoid NH17 at dark.That road is deadly during day light and becomes deadlier when there is no light.

                    Have no option other than riding in dark. Any idea about these alternate routes ?

                    1. Mumbai>Pune>Karad>Malkapur>Sakharpa>Ganpatipule.

                    2. Mumbai-Pune-Umbraj (just after Satara)- Kumbharli Ghat-Chiplun-Nivali Naka-Ganpatipule.

                          NH-17 is the shortest route to ganpatipule, Mumbai>Pen>Mahad>Chiplun>ganpatipule

                          Just before Sangameshwar there is a 'Dingani phata', where u can leave NH-17, it is a local road connecting villages, a small road with absolutely no traffic. Thereby u bypass Nivali phata n save some 15-20 kms. NH-17 between Sangameshwar n Nivali phata was in pathetic condition in Nov 11 (don't know it's status now)

                              As u r travelling in night, it's better u avoid the diversion I suggested, the road being a local road is totally deserted, no help available, it would be wise to stick to NH-17 (which itself is a nightmare in the night). We took the alternate route while going to ganpatipule (in afternoon), but rode through nivali phata route on our way back (night)

                              Ride Safe

                                By that route you would never reach there on time
                                Is there some reason why you are obsessed with lavasa... if curves are what thrills you, you could rather stick to NH17 proceed to Poladpur and ride 10KMs ahead and come back... thats much more interesting!

                                +1 its Maharashtra MOST notorious highway
                                The inside roads are prone to other hazards like theft etc.
                                If you are confident in your night riding abilities and ride sane, then you can definitely do it. Me, Gopi, Karthik and Winzee did the same route last friday...
