Mahabaleshwar
27 January 2013


Our children enjoyed an educational, fun, and tastey excursion to Mahabaleshwar region where they visited an ancient historical site, followed by a lunch of local specialties and a visit to a chocolate factory and strawberry farm.
Geograpy
Located about 120km south of Pune is
Mahabaleshwar region, sitting atop a high, rugged
plateau. It is a scenic region, contains numerous important
historical sites, and is a popular holiday destination. The region is also famous for its strawberries, which were in
season for our visit!
We chartered a bus, which picked us all up just outside of our Janata Vasahat neighborhood at 6:00am. We journeyed two hours
south of Pune on the expressway, and then another two hours of slow, winding roads into scenic mountainous landscape. We
passed the time singing and eating breakfast before finally
succumbing to motion sickness on the final winding road...
