Marine Drive

Bordering the Arabian Sea, this famous road is a popular spot for watching sunsets, and is gorgeous when lit up at night.

Reviewed By Inakshisobti - Mumbai, India

A drive on Marine Drive in the evening affords great night vistas of Mumbai's skyline dotted with lights.. the walkway that adjoins the Sea makes for a pleasant walk and faces the Arabian Sea on one end and a line of Art Deco heritage buildings ( some in need of repair) on the opposite side... although a busy road, Marine Drive or the Queens necklace as it is referred to on account of its natural curve and string of pearl overhead lights is an integral icon of Mumbai.

Bhimashankar Temple

Reviewed By Adityasaraswat1801 - Navi Mumbai, India

Visiting Bhimashankar Jyotirling Temple is an yearly trip for us friends, We generally do the 6-8 hours trek from Karjat to the temple through the forests but decided to do a Road trip to reach the temple this time, We started out from Borivili in Mumbai and it took us 5 hours and thirty minutes to reach the Temple, We took the left after the Talegaon Toll naka and joined the GPS - this took us to a shorter but scenic route to the temple, this is advisable for travel buffs with a decently strong car or sub as half the way your won’t find a proper road as roads are still being built in the area, But as a compensation for the hard ride for you and your vehicle you will witness the entire Bhimashankar valley in all it’s natural glory, cool winds, lot is rivulets in between, scenic shots of the mountain and valleys, friendly villager folks all along the way, While coming back we took the longer Manchar route back - Bhimashankar - Manchar - Pune - Chakan - Mumbai Pune Expressway. The Temple is a nationally renowned temple and is one of the Jyotir lings, which are must visit lord Shiva temples spread all across India, this one temple is very ancient, the temple complex is itself situated down in the valley and there are lots of steps to go down, The temple is a must visit in the winters and people should try the trek routes and the drive routes at least once.

Saptashrungi

Reviewed By 007Wanderer01 - Mumbai, India

Saptshringi nivasini mata is represented by a huge idol with 16 hands. Her Aura instantly attracts. We went there from Nasik on the way to Saputara. Road.is good. Ride to hill top is very smooth and approach road is excellent. There was huge rush and took us 2 hours even with the funicular. No social distancing in the Corona times, even though they insist on mask. Funicular is really a well maintained a well operated boon for the devotees. Its not a Rodeway but railway i think. I was carrying my mother who is 72 year old and physically frail.There is an arrangement for wheel chair along with escort for senior citizen with extra cost of INR100, which makes Darshan quite easy for them. Funicular rate is now INR 100 PP.

A must visit place if you are in Pune, Visit this place for its history, thrill , beauty & of course Zunka/ pithla bhakari with Dahi . If travelling by car one can reach near base of fort , still one has to climb 150+ steps , but real fun is climbing from village , this is almost 8 km trek , one should make a climb once .
