Route:- Mumbai to Poladpur(NH17) -- Poladpur to Mahabaleshwar (Road in pretty bad condition) -- Mahabaleshwar to Satara (State Highway )
It was a marriage invitation from one of my friend, which strategically turned into a Tour. Actually I was having no idea how I will be reaching Sangli by other options. So I chose the most usual option
Friday Night parties are hard to skip. That is the one of the reason i had missed most of the Rides happened on Saturday's .So it was a regular Friday. With small booze party concluded by couple of Cards session.
Woke at 4 am Sharp in Saturday morning and slept again, the next time I woke up it was 6:30 . Too late to start for a long ride.
Got dressed up after finishing the usual activities and started rolling at 7:15 .
Some Good Morning pictures
Formation
Track to GOA
Good Omens
While riding on NH17 spotted some caves on the left..also saw that there are plenty of stairs to climb to reach the caves.So my lazy A** didn't gave it a go,went ahead.But after going for 1Km and Half..I said let's do it.Came back and started climbing.

After clicking some pictures came back on NH17.Reached Poladpur and took a left turn form there for Mahabaleshwar.The road from Poladpur till Mahabaleshwar was in very very very BAD condition.
The next stop was Mahabaleshwar.Didn't covered much point in Mahabaleshwar as i was short of time. Met UMESH(Ketan's friend) with one of his friend. He advised me not to visit the points as they are very crowdy.
Visited Wilson point and One more point on the way to Mumbai Satara.Also took a dip in Kanher dam reservoir.
And last set of pics...
Reached Mahabaleshwar at 1:00 pm.
Took Several stops between Poladpur to Mahabaleshwar to click the Hill views.
Finally reached Mahabaleshwar,Did lunch and started rest of the journey.While i was in the way to Satara i spotted WILSON POINT board..So i took the turn and visited the point.Nothing much to see.Hills again

After leaving Kanher,i stopped in satara for refuelling.Satara is hardly 5-6 Km from Kanher dam.After doing full tank rode 60-70 Km non-stop until i reached Sangli.After reaching checked-in in a hotel.I was dead tired,so some booze was required to sleep in peace.But to my surprise it was dry day there..beacuse of bakreed.But someone said "Determined peoples always find thier way"...and so did I..after 30 mins of roaming i finally got 2 bottles of KF strong for 220 rs only.Took it to the hotel..enjoyed and finally slept.
The Next day attended my friends wedding..which started from 11 am and ended at 3:30 pm (for me)..After see off i went to hotel and quickly packed up my stuff and started rolling back.
Sangli to NH4 strech was pretty good.Fields adjacent to the road were covered by Sugarcane.Stopped in between and checked out..the soil was black one.The most productive type of soil
