Then we had decided to go to Bhushi dam, where water overflows onto a set of steps during this season. Bhushi dam is near by to Lion’s point. The Bhushi dam is a masonry dam on the Indrayani River in Lonavala. We enjoyed a lot at bhushi dam, I don’t have words to explain my experience and joy but still I am trying my best.

So due to heavy rain we only cover this two points, we missed veena lake. We went to veena lake, but boating and view point are closed due to heavy rain. So we went to our hotel room. We had lunch at Ram krishna hotel lonavala. The food was very good compare to other hotels. After a lunch we went back to hotel room and it is still raining 😍.

Let’s start our Journey to Mahabaleshwar!

On next day, we checked out from the hotel on 8 am and started our journey toward ‘Mahabaleshwar‘.

So the second day was over and we went to a hotel. I must say hotel was really good and atmosphere also too good. We decided to have diner at dhaba and then journey for food was started. In Mahabaleshwar after 7 pm roads are foggy so it is so difficult to drive, still we went to dhaba and ordered chicken and roti. I never experienced all this thing before.

Rainy and foggy way, that rain was so amazing, I still remember hot chicken and roti. Dhaba was also good. Only we 5 people are there at that time. Imagine it was raining out side there are some books for sale, so you can read and buy books from there. and yes hot chicken and roti. I will not forget that moments in my whole life. After a dinner I brought some books and then we went back to the hotel.
