Route: Pune – Satara – Kaas – Bamnoli – Pune
We started early and that was the key to our trip as we could enjoy and explore Kaas and Bamnoli to the fullest. With sunrise as our first shot in the camera, we headed towards the NH4. The early morning winds, the tints of yellow and orange all around…added to our excitement. We stopped for picking up the famous ‘Shriram Vada Pav’ near Shirval. We reached Satara at 8.15 am, had a quick refreshment session at Rajtatri hotel near the bus stand and started for Kaas around 9.00 am.
The beautiful landscapes on the way to Kaas plateau were giving us a hint of how beautiful it would be ahead. Small streams…the various shades of green…the organized farms were the golden point for all our shots. But we never thought that there was much more to come!!! As we preceded…patches of yellow Smithias, the purple impatiens and many other white, yellow, violet, blue wild flowers started peeping out. We were trying to grasp the bright, fresh colours of the plateau.
After spending a couple of flowers with the tiny blooms…we headed for Bamnoli …making our way through hundreds of cars. Bamnoli is just 20km ahead of Kaas, which offers, boat ride to various places like Vasota Fort, Triveni Sangam, Datta Mandir. It was already 12.30 pm when we reached there. We took up the Datta Mandir ride to see the beautiful underground Shivaling, the Lord Datta Temple, the Ganesh Temple and the scenic beauty of the place. On our way back from bamnoli after late lunch, we were tempted to wait again at the Kaas plateau to take some more pictures of the colourful blossoms and the sunset.
It was 8.00 pm when we left from Satara and reached Pune around 10.30 pm.
