Had a short bike trip again today to vandri lake, which is at around 80 Km from Mumbai. My odo says 168Km for a to & fro journey via NH8. The road is very straight forward. While heading towards surat via NH8, one has to take a U-turn at saphale road (varai). Then after 2-3 kms take left turn which is going to a village and at the end of the village there is the vandri dam and the lake beside. But the associated road goes along the hill and there are very few points where some one can get down and walk down through the stipper hill to the lake. Which may be a little difficult. But since there is no body around during afternoon, one can try that too. But i had chosen the hill forest at the opposite side of the road. I preferred a location on the slant of the hill covered with trees to park my bike and then trek a km or so, and went inside the hill. The forest is just awesome. Seeing a narrow stony road which goes over the hill, i presumed there could be some flock of cattle i may encounter, so there could be some local villagers who would be controlling them. But after i went inside the forest, i could find only the chirping of birds, i could recognize the voice of cuckoo also. And the cold breeze even under the hot sun of march. So, I realize that this was the perfect place to get into my best suite (Nude) :-). I spent there, relaxed almost half an hour. When i was confirmed that no human beings come to that portion, I started walking in nude in the forest. Went various nook and corner of the place and roam around for half an hour more or so. Then prepared for my return journey. Came down from the hill at around 1:15 p.m. Started my mean machine for my return journey.... Let me know how do u like the adventure...
