5.30 pm and headed towards Tamhini ghat. The road was horrible with some patches full of Potholes which were impossible to avoid. As we crossed Mulshi, it started getting dark and we had to lower our speed but still, it was fun Driving at night in Tamhini. At around 8 pm we crossed Tamhini ghat and took a road that goes to Tata Power Station towards Kolad. Next to power station is village Bhira which was our destination for the day.
