Dear rollers,

I write to you all with love for nature, mountain ranges & wildlife.

“It somehow becomes irresistible to weather yourself in mountains again…

Once obscure, Kasarsai Dam got quite famous post lockdown, skip it and roll ahead towards Chandkhed

A splendid treat to your soul awaits, downhill submersed in lush green woods with Makhmali flowers afterwards.

See the video, you’ll find amazing butterflies and flora, relive it below.

Amazing route to Pawna Dam, Yelghol & Bedse caves from Pune

Soak yourself for a while in nature too, as you’ll not find them after.

There’s life out there, don’t miss the nature at its best.

Give yourself spectacular gift before it fades away

Survival

Couldn’t stop myself from taking a bit before the still :-P

Read below, if going further than Pawna Dam -

And let me paint that bleak picture of my solo ride..

‘Evergreen Pawna’

The moment of self-realization starts from here, the climbs till Lohgad Fort will test your senses. If riding in bright sun, keep at least 2 liters of water and glucose, be prepared for amazing trails through the woods

Into the woods

Riding with scorching sun and climb of 13km from Pawna base to Lohgad fort will wither you but it rewarding too… ‘perfect trail’.

Keep climbing and major climb starts from Mauli hotel

Mauli Hotel

You’ll find success when you’ll get a glimpse of Visapur Fort from far, Goosebumps!! Stop for a while.

Look around how much far and above you’ve come….. cherish it

Points to Visapur fort [Above] and the Pawna Dam [Below]

Reap the fruits of hardship you’ve endured. The awe-inspiring forts are magnificent. It will inspire you to crank the pedal further..

Straight ~5.5 km downhill to Malavli, via Bhaja Buddhist Caves and many famous waterfalls.

You’ll need lot of braking skills, make sure you’ve effective braking prior to the start of journey.

Goodbye! we will meet again. [Left] enormous Visapur Fort and [Right] Downhill route till Malavli

Downhill towards Malavli & Bhaja Buddhist Caves

You can have fun at Malavli, won’t harm you with beverages or whatever you generally prefer it with :-p. Do reward yourself!!

I’ve skipped pictures of Dudhiware Khind and Forts, for you to experience and explore.

Live the route, imprint them in your memories forever..

Good Luck!!
