ROUTE
Day 1: Pune - Pirangut - Paud - Mulshi (42km)
Road conditions were good even though we went in monsoons. It took us non-stop 1 hour to reach the Green gate Resort.
Day 2: Mulshi - Tamhini Ghat - Tail baila - Sawashnicha Ghat - Ambavane - Lonavala – Pune (120km)
Roads were good till we got down the Tamhini Ghat. But they got worse from Tail Baila to Ambavane. Fortunately at least the ghat part in between was better. We took the old Bombay - Pune highway while coming back, so no hassles on the way back at least.

The best thing about this place we felt was isolation...as no mobile signals were accessible. Green gate resort is located bang opposite to the backwaters of Mulshi Dam. They have 2 four bedded Family Rooms and 2 two bedded AC rooms. Wood and stone look of the rooms give them a cool and refreshing feeling. A cup of tea and long, peaceful chats on the sit out was our favorite activity. Service was quick. Food was pure veg but excellent. Amenities like Gaming zone were very well organized. Swimming pool was still under construction.
EARNING
• Amazing bike safari route for monsoon trips as there was a lot of flowering that we saw along the roads.
• Got quality time to spend with my husband, as it was a peaceful and short trip close by to pune.
LEARNING
• Travel with lighter luggage.
• Avoid peak noon hours for traveling on bike.
