Trip To Satara

Out of circulation for 2 weeks!
Reason was a trip to Satara. Its approximately 95 Km from Pune. It is nestled in the western ghats.

The weather is similar to Ooty and Kodaikanal. Mahabaleshwar is just 40 Kms from Satara. Mahabaleshwar is a hill resort and famous spot for bollywood shootings. But we could not go there due to constant drizzle.

Besides a cool climate, this place is blessed with fresh air. I loved the just-plucked fresh vegetables. The milk was fresh and good too. I went crazy cooking most vegetables I could lay my hands on as our family was put up in a company guest house with full kitchen facilities. The view from our first floor rooms was too good. Each morning we woke up to the sight of misty clouds floating over lush green mountains.

The area is full of greenery and trees which house parrots, piegons, sparrows, etc., which we could see from close quarters. We shot some pictures which I am going to share.
