On the machaan on the nature trail above Ekaant Lodge at Lavasa

Dad, Mhanthu and Mom on the machaan with Warasgaon lake in the background
Check out the binoculars around my neck .... was hardly able to spot any birds though - could hear them but not spot them, or they just moved around too much for me to be able to focus on them
Sheltering under the machaan for some well needed rest before we start the descent
The woods are lovely, dark and deep ....
On the deck of Dasvino Club - Portofino apartments across the lake

Beautiful Buddha statue outside the Convention Center ... loved it
Aravelam Caves from the 6th century AD - came across them by chance on our way tot he Rudreshwar temple near the Haravale Waterfall
The caves .... just before the waterfall
The first cave had this series of depressions in the platform - I imagined it to be Draupadi's chulhas, since we had decided these were Pandava caves ... the archaelogical society notice outside said nothing of the sort!
Five caves, with 5 different shaped lingas ...
The waterfall next to which lies the Rudreshwar temple
Enjoying ht sunset and breeze at Dona Paula with Dinker mam ....
... and Shobha
