Baba booked the trip by NatureWalk ( Mr. Anuj Khare and Mrs. Dipti Khare ). We woke up early morning and took Riksha and arrived at Padale Palace at 6:00 AM. Everybody gathered till 6:30 AM and we left at 6:30 AM. We took Karve Road -> Chandani Chowk -> Paud -> Mulshi -> Tamhini. In the Tamhini Ghat, there is a left turn for Tamhini Village. There is a S.T. bus stop at the corner. We took hat left turn and arrived at Tamhini village. We parked our bus at Vinzhai maata mandir and there was a small payvaat going inside the jungle.
Ti paayvat khup chan hoti. Saglikade hirvai pasarli hoti ani mast dhuka hota. we went inside around 2 Kms. First we were walking from inside the small river. The water was very clean ( Juilee dank it and then at home fell sick. ). Mr. Shirodkar ( guide and biologists ) was explaining about different species of plants and birds. We saw bambo ( It usually grows for 70 years and then it flowers and then seeds fall down and the old bambo plant dies ), Gauriche Haat, Hirda, Beheda, Karvi ( without flowers ), etc.
Ek mungyancha varul zadavar bandhlela disla.
We saw some sarda, small snakes, too. My camera cells discharged here, so I started taking photos from Juilee's mobile.After some time Aai and Mavshya stayed back and we went forward till some more distance. There rain started heavily, so we had to return back. After returning back to bus, the bus went to again Tamhini Ghat and we saw Plus Valley. ( Ticha aakar + sarkha ahe ). Because of fog, it was not clearly visible.
Then the bus again went forward 1 - 2 Km. and we young people and Baba and Mr. Shirodkar decided to walk for some distance in the Tamhini ghat. The road was having Tata Power's private property. There were small dhabdhaba's. After walking for some distance, we reached at the another end of the + vally, from where we could see a very good vewi of + sign.Aai and Mavshi's were in the bus and bus was already waiting there ( They reached before us as they came by bus and we came by walk. ). Then we took way back again and near a small temple, we found a shed to have lunch.
Lunch was excellent ( poli, batata bhaji, usal, dhaibhat. ). There we also played a game after lunch: Dolyala patti bandhun adathale paar karayache...Then we went to Mulshi dam ( Tamhini ghatatun, parat punyala yetana, Mulshi la jayla phata ahe. ) We went by bus till top and then bus went down by taking Aai, Baba and Mavshis. We young people walked down the green hill and watched Mungyancha Varul, Sarda, etc.
