GANPATIPULE BIKING TRIP (MAHARASHTRA, INDIA)
Distance : 380kms (Day 1)
Took the fantastic National Highway (NH-17) through Panvel-Karnala-Vadkal.

Break before Kashedi Ghats..
It has been quite we had been planning for this trip. Finally sneaked out for this endeavour.We (My dearest buddy Girish and Myself) started from Dombivli (outskirts of Mumbai) at 0500hrs and reached Panvel (NH-4)via Taloja within half an hour.

Break before Kashedi Ghats..Took a break at Poladpur before begining through the treacherous Kashedi ghats. Don't even try speeding over 40kmph else you are in Elysium. One gets the chance to do all sorts of banking along this ghat section. The best part of this ghat is that one moves uphill and downhill in successions with fantastic banking (all in the ghat). The roads are awesome. Fantastic experience !!!
The winding Kashedi Ghat
Moving further on the Khed-Asurde-Chiplun-Savarde-Sangameshwar. Moving ahead keep your eyes open for state highway SH-106 where you turn right closing on Ganpatipule. Keep moving on the same path and you would enter MDR-37 (district motorable road) and you would feel the coastal wind once you start this stretch and the feeling cannot be described in words !!!
