Mahabaleshwar

Mahabaleshwar is a large mountain plateau only a few day rides on "camelback" away from Pune.


It was a beautiful day and the small group of the remaining interns enjoyed the last official trip.


Once again we came across some mysterious forests. Mahabaleshwar is up to 1400 meters above see level and therefore often hidden in clouds.



On the first view point we saw this breathtaking view:


... and when the clouds suddenly disappeared it got even better.



It was nice to experience this great place all alone ...


... without any other tourists around.




Unfortunately we didn't have much time for walks to explore more of the area and had to stick to our means of transport.






In this picture we are standing in front of the beautiful Bhilar waterfall.

Yeah, you cannot see it. We are standing IN FRONT of it.




Mahabaleshwar is definitely worth a visit. A nice place to get away from the hectic and crowded cities.

It was fun. Our ride was only about 3 minutes long, but I can understand now why people say you can become sea sick from riding on a camel. :)
