Monsoon, Western Ghats & A Road Trip

I love rain, but I always avoid to ride the bike during rains. I know, it's always fun riding in the rain. But in North India, rains are horrible, you can't think to ride. But last week I got an opportunity to travel the Western Ghats. We took a road trip to Panchgani-Mahabaleshwar, Tamhini Ghat, Lonavala & Lavasa. And yes, I ride the bike in rain for two days, and it was really a beautiful rain. It transforms the whole area into a heavenly land abundant in natural beauty. The weather becomes more romantic and the landscapes more scenic than anything you would ever see. Gushing waterfalls flank the curvy hilly roads and hilltops become tourist attractions providing breathtaking views ( providing there is enough visibility to enjoy it). I will make a very clear point here, don't take your four wheels here, two wheels suits this place more. As I said, the curvy roads, and drizzling all the way,  and a major plus very pleasant curvy road, not like Himachal :). So you will get a very different experience here. Check out some of my shots as below :
