Monsoons transform the land!

The monsoons transform the Deccan Plateau near Lonvala- Khandala. With grey/white clouds dodging between the hills and the ground that goes lush green, a brief, and beautiful relief from the cityscapes of Pune and Mumbai!

Above it all!

The Pagoda Parsik Hill, at Belapur, Navi Mumbai, on top of the hills while entering Mumbai. Lit up in all its glory. Unmistakable and welcome reminder that you are entering the Maximum City.  This is part of a center that teaches techniques of meditation.

Route Wizard is a journal of my travels and experiences for planning for them. I love to detail out as much as I can about transportation, apps, best routing, culture of the place I go to, the food and costs.
