Overview

Varandha Ghat is one of the Famous Ghat road near Pune which is in 100Km range and has lot of scenic places around it. We started from Ambegaon, Pune for Varandha Ghat via Bhor. Plan was to visit Varandha Ghat and return but we moved further and made it to Tamhini Ghat the same day via Mahad & Mangaon (down the Sahyadri). It took around 280Km for us to make this trip. We avoided the stay in between due to Corona Situation.

5 12:00 PM Abhepuri (अभेपुरी)
Road after Nira-Deoghar Dam is a backwater road where lot of water channels (ओढा) joins the Nira River. Road is actually made up of rocks so driving speed will not be more than 30Kmph. This road will take around two hours to reach Varandha Ghat from this Dam.

7 2:30 PM Mahad (महाड)
After Varandha Ghat Point we go downside into Mahad (Konkan) and join Mumbai-Goa Highway which is under construction. Road is good but has lot of diversions and need to take care of road joints.

After around 30Km & 45 minutes on this road you reach Mangaon. From Mangaon you take right turn to go to Tamhini Valley.
8 3:15 PM Mangaon (माणगाव)
This is currently a little lonely road but in good condition and it will take you 500m high into Sahyadri Mountain Range again.
9 5:00 PM Tamhini Ghat (ताम्हिणी घाट)
Newly created Tar Roads in Tamhini Valley are so good that you will very much enjoy riding here. Foggy sights of the valley gives it a unique Identity amongst Travel places near Pune.

10 5:30 PM Mulshi Dam (मुळशी)
Once we cross Mulshi Backwater and head to Pune, a year long roadwork takes a 2 hour toll to reach Home.
7:30 PM Home
It was a pretty long ride of 280Km considering the road conditions before Varadha but it was worth a spectacle I must say.
