Valley's With A Name: Khandala's Tiger and Lonavala's Lion

Tiger Valley

Located in Khandala in the beginning as soon as you cross over the ghat; has magnificent views of the valley. Almost anyone travelling to Pune will never have missed it. Although seen several times over, never really had stopped to see it. It's best observed from Old Mumbai-Pune highway since that is at a greater height.
A couple of scenes from the valley:







See those rain clouds below us. Well it started raining soon and had to take cover in some restaurants there. Waited for sometime but the rains only increased and hence had to go back. Couldn't get more shots after that.


Lion Point

This one's in Lonavala further along the route of Bushi Dam. This is the valley dividing Pune and Raigad districts. I find it much more beautiful than the Tiger valley (maybe because the flowers reminds me of the "Valley of Flowers").

Clouds warning us about repeat of the previous day valley view:




Some beautiful views of the valley:


















The Shivaji/Shivsagar lake can be seen in the distance. This is where the naval base of INS Shivaji is located.


Valvan Dam

This is a dam we see from the Expressway after crossing Lonavala towards the right side. We tried to go in there but there was no permission to enter it. Maybe we took the wrong route and this wasn't the entrance or maybe the dam isn't open for public. Anyways there is a hill near Waksai village which you can trek to get fascinating views of the dam and surrounding areas. This hill was very close to where we were staying. However, our trek never materialized.




Reywood Park

Not really a trip to mention since we went there post sunset. Obvious that no one was around and it was also drizzling a bit. The only things I could click were some flowers and this weird tree.
