My visit to some parts of Maharashtra

It was really exotic weekend with religious flavor in Maharashtra. We started at 6 pm on friday, 20, march, 2009 to Anandi near chakan, pune. We had a stay there till next day. early morning on sunday we started for shivneri which is near junnar, arround 100 kms from pune. Shivneri is a fort which holds the pride of experiencing birth of the great Maratha Chatrapati Shri Shivaji. The atmoshphere and living in Shivneri doesn't talk much about the Great Shivaji but the place has the potential of holding the power of Indian History. Lets come back to junnar. Junnar from a tourist point of view can be the center of stay to visit different places in surroundings. two famous Ashtavinayak tirth sthan Lenyadri & Ojhar are situated in surrounding of 10 kms. Malshej ghat one of the rainy attraction of maharashtra is located in 20 kms radius of junnar. several other religious and picnic spots are located in 10-20 kms radius of junnar. After having a stay till next day and visiting lenyadri we started for bhimashankar which is 63 kms from junnar. the roads are not well maintained but an average speed of 30 kms/hr. can be maintained to reach bhimashankar in 2 and half hour with a 15-20 minutes break on the way. though bhimashankar was supposed to be the last spot to visit and reach bhilad (one of the small towns on border of gujarat and maharashtra) where I stay. we were running out of time to reach the same night. The road way selected for bhilad was via manchar, nashik, peth, pardi and finally to bhilad. but we would have been able to reach bhilad at arround 3 or 4 in morning. we prefered to have a stay so before reaching nashik we changed our way to shirdi. Shirdi was a real struggle to find a good place which took us arround 1 hour so we decided to have our dinner there. during our dinner we decided to leave shirdi and reach nashik for our night stay at muktidham. We reached muktidham at arround 11 pm we found good stay at muktidham temple. on next morning after having our prayer and darshan at muktidham temple which have almost all the god and goddesses of hindu religion and ofcourse all 12 jyotirlings we started for our journey back to bhilad. We were planning to have a good breakfast in nashik market where we halted for famous Kondaji chivda but didn't really find a good place for having our breakfast. It was as always that we thought we will have some better place on our way. We were finally on peth dharampur road which unfortunately doesn't have any good place to have breakfast. We further moved to find good Grape yards where we had a halt of arround 15 minutes to purchase 5 kgs of grapes. moving on further we found a farm of brinjal and cauli flower. where we had an experience of plucking those vegetables directly from respective plantations and enjoy. we next moved forward and finally found a dhaba called honey which was a veg restaurant. every thing there was good except the management but somehow we managed to finish our lunch there and move towards bhilad. finally at 2.45 pm on tuesday, 24, march, 2009 we reached bhilad. it was a good really a good exotic weekend with religious flavor in maharashtra.
