Just a suggestion, if everyone is ok we can trek to Harishchandragad fort during our stay in Pune.

 

If we have time, we will definitely explore this place.
Once we freeze the head count, we will discuss more about places to explore.


Mean while If you have another suggestion apart from Harishchandragad, Please let us know. 
We will add those places to a list and we will finalize on the plan.

Tamhini and Mulshi look the best during monsoon and especially when it rains. And when you get drenched in rain during a trek around this place, Nothing like it. I've been here before and with a new crew altogether this time is what excites me even more.

Andharban Jungle trek


We planned a stopover at Pimpri dam. (Andharban trek starts from Pimpri, Correct me If I am wrong ) 
We are yet to decide whether it is on Day 2 or Day 3

Andharban is feasible, We may not have time go deep into the forest.
We can explore the surroundings up to 1 kilometer.

We will discuss and update you.

Thank you for the input :)

Joining India Drive was the best thing I did in August 2016.

One year, 6 drives and meeting so many wonderful people has been truly amazing. Zing zing [emoji39]

Sagar, Shammy and Gowtham are THE REAL MVPs.

And the USP of India Drive is that we explore lesser explored places which is why I try my best to never miss a drive.

Pune trip was actually full of surprises (like it was mentioned in the first post) and we loved every bit of it.

Thank you Admins [emoji593][emoji1360]

Thanks a lot everyone for making this drive an eventful one. It has been an active and fun session throughout, right from the first day until the last moment at 'Chai Chaska'. Every bit of this meet up was worth cherishing. A loud shout to the whole group who have been a part of this drive and a special mention to @Vinithreddy @Sruthi @varunc @Omik @Sridhar Tandra @Sudhir for keeping the whole group lively.

Here are a few pictures clicked during the meet.

 

Monsoon madness!

 USP of India Drive is that we explore lesser explored places which is why I try my best to never miss a drive.

Great to hear from you.

SOME moments you experience while travelling end up completely blowing you away, in ways you'd never have expected. They stay with you forever, and years later you still smile at the fond memories.

The urge to stand at the edge and push yourself to try something that makes you conscious of being in that situation is what Adventure is....

The journey is never about the destination, it’s about the fun!

I acknowledge each and every one who was part of the Drive, we added another memory for life....India Drive is all about experiencing Life and Celebrating Life.... [emoji120] [emoji120]

Hello all,
It was great experience travelling with you guys. Made new friends,shared experiences, lots of memories, laughter. I truely cherished Every moment of the trip.

 

Superb pictures :). All of us have had a wonderful time interacting with you and your family too karthik. You have carried some great spirit during the drive in spite of being stressed out as you were driving it solo throughout. Kudos to all the patience and effortso.O. Hope it had paid off well and has made your drive more than worthy. Looking forward to meet you for the next drive :)

Joining India Drive was the best thing I did in August 2016.

@Sridhar Tandra It always feels good to hear a positive note about the drive from travel enthusiasts like you. In no time, we shall organise a quick drive and catch up soon. Waiting to see some of the lovely captures from your end. Especially, the rafting pictures and the ones clicked at the top of the Tikona fort :D

beautiful pictures @prabhum. We sure had a lovely time which is worthy enough to cherish it for a lifetime. The drive through the rains and the innumerous sightings of the waterfalls throughout alongside a wonderful crew made this event successful and thanks for being responsible for this :). To my surprise, I've finally seen harsha talk in this drive :D and the next one is not so far to take him to the next level :cooler:
