Day 1

It was a much awaited trip for our cousin's troop after the most memorable trip in Goa in the year 2015. This time we had planned a long weekend trip for four days   in Pune and we explored Lavasa, Shirdi, Malabaleshwar and Panchagani. We landed in Pune on September 13 and booked a zoom car from Pune to Lavasa. It took one full day to explore the beauty of Lavasa and we witnessed beautiful sceneries, view points and water bodies and came back to Pune the same night.  Next day we boarded a bus from Pune to Shirdi and finished the darshan on the same day. On September 15 we again booked a zoom car and we started to Malabaleshwar after eating yummy breakfast in the oldest cafe in Pune which is known as 'Good Luck Cafe'. This cafe serves all kind of yummy breakfasts and foodies must visit this cafe. We booked a wonderful zostel in Panchagani (check pics of Zostels in my profile) for just Rs 750 per day. After checkin in the Zostel we decided to explore Panchagini. We explored places like Sydney point, Strawberry and Mulberry farms, Waterfalls etc. Sydney point is a must visit place and this place has breathtaking views and is very peaceful. We came back to Zostel the same night and enjoyed the night in zostel with other Zostel mates. The hospitality at the Zostel was wonderful and every zostelmate was very friendly. We enjoyed the BBQ facility, campfire, games, drinks, music at the Zostel. The next day we got up early and had some yummy breakfast at the Zostel. The best part was the strawberry jam in the Zostel Breakfast, after finishing the breakfast we checked out from the Zostel and explore rest of the places in Mahabaleshwar and visited beautiful waterfalls in Mahabaleshwar and returned to Pune on the same day. Sydney point and the Zostel was the best part of this trip😍😍😍😍😍😍
