Day 1

I started off early morning. It was around 4am in the morning. I was exited and all geared up with my Royal Enfield Himalayan all set to hit the highway. After riding for 2 hours I finally saw some light coming from the sun which was rising in front of my eyes. A beautiful scene to watch. By that time I was at khandala ghat reaching lonavala. I spent few minutes watching the sunrise over the khandala ghat.

Later, I started back my journey from Khandala towards Satara reaching Satara I stopped to have some wada pav and tea. Quickly wrapping up with the breakfast I was back on the road with full energy.

People were wondering why I'm riding a bike in this hot sun with all the riding gears and a huge helmet on my head.

It was around 10am in the morning I started feeling the heat so I was not taking long breaks and drinking lots of water to keep myself hydrated.

Journey was going good and I was enjoying the highway ride, in no time I reached Karad, From Karad I took a diversion towards Kankavli via Amba Ghat.

Crossing the Amba Ghat I saw a small temple on the left to pay a visit. From the place where I was standing I could see a river flowing, people were taking selfies standing at a cliff. It was very hot and I could not bare the heat standing there. So, I quickly took some photos and started off towards Kankavli.
By the time I reached Kankavli it was evening around 5pm I had to stop to charge my phone and GoPro to record my further journey.

I stopped at the dhaba to have tea and in the meanwhile put my phone on changing.
Lucky to have a fast charger thanks to today's technology my phone was 80% charged and good to go.

Finally after all the riding for around 12 hours I reached Vengurla my home stay.
