Lavasa-Goa Photos



Bulbuls loudly celebrate their appreciation of a beautiful new day at Lavasa



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

D G Rao gets contemplative on the machaan ...
Mom poses on the machaan ... Western Ghats in the background

Dad on the machaan - dressed in his comfortable muslin "bundi"

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

Leaning out of the Waterfront Shaw apartment where we stayed - the ITC Fortune Hotel in the background

Leaning out the Waterfront Shaw, the promenade in the background

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
