The drive is never tiring. <br /><br />Our constant companion on the journey was the landscape: views of soaring skies, variety of trees, birds, mountains, magnificent waterways abound.<br /><br />Close encounters with wildlife are a common occurrence. Sheep look for food just off a highway's shoulder; eagles sit in neighboring trees. Watch out for elephants tribes who typically cross the highway from one forest area onto the other side by evenings: They have a habit of lazily nonchalantly walking along the road, right when you're taking in the scenery.<br /><br />Driving is also an opportunity to meet villagers in their element. Stop at roadhouses and lodges. Have a piece of homemade snack while you listen to the owner's stories. From the side of the road, watch climbers scramble cliff faces. Better yet, drive a gravel road to a small town where locals are more than willing to say hello and get to know you.<br /><br />Wherever you're going, give yourself extra time. Because on highways, getting behind the wheel isn't about the destination. It's about the drive.Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05583667711420481815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4500759018558044426.post-9792736345393698222010-03-08T07:58:10.759-08:002010-03-08T07:58:10.759-08:00It's also becoming a tourist spot.

He stayed in a local lodge which he said was clean and much cheaper than hotels in the neighbouring tourist spots. Plus it's a quick drive to those local attractions and finally, the trip back to Mumbai is quicker.Mumbai Pausedhttp://mumbaipaused.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4500759018558044426.post-5455387633144872932010-02-24T23:26:44.850-08:002010-02-24T23:26:44.850-08:00Wai' seems to be beautiful, must see it.

Here also, there are celebs like Lata Mangeshkar & some other great Marathi film personalities who have built Bunglows & lot of Films happen here. Also there good forts, and if u like 'Misal Pav' here u will get the geniune dish. Sugarcane juice, Groundnuts, Jaggery, all Milk products are its specialities. If u visit Kolhapur You should visit the great Mahalaxmi Temple (U must have heard about this temple).<br />Keep in touch<br />KaumudiAnonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08985862013425137730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4500759018558044426.post-33437407011392358912010-02-24T10:49:23.797-08:002010-02-24T10:49:23.797-08:00Sounds beautiful, love the way you descrbe it, hav...Sounds beautiful, love the way you descrbe it, have to take tips on where to travel in india next time im there or maybe we can go for a weekend together,love reading your blogs:)kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04828172669272975559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4500759018558044426.post-76923942328801911242010-02-24T00:36:05.118-08:002010-02-24T00:36:05.118-08:00Access to cheap energy underpins modern societies....Access to cheap energy underpins modern societies.

Tho I must admit These smaller villages sound more exciting than mahabs. Mahabs is typical touristy with boating, picnic spots, lake view, table top mountains- and shopping. The real earthiness is sorely missing here. Perhaps next time we looking to holiday on a long wkend we will head out to Wai.

More than 2000+ towers have been erected for generation of power. Every tumble of the windmill produces one unit that we consume at home. So fascinating:)<br />RunaAnonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08985862013425137730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4500759018558044426.post-75463927048502534882010-02-22T22:13:12.844-08:002010-02-22T22:13:12.844-08:00Hey did you go to Koyna dam near Satara- tat too i...Hey did you go to Koyna dam near Satara- tat too is another beautiful spot just wide off Satara district.
