Pune:22.07.12.
We three friends were looking to go to a picturesque place within 150 kms of Pune. Zeroed down on Malshej Ghat as this place has a MTDC resort. where we could rest for the night. Soon we were off in our vehicle to explore. The weather was fairly dry till we reached within 20 kms of Malshej Ghat. From a steady drizzle it began to pour.
Suddenly, a dense blanket of fog enveloped us within a km away from the Malshej Ghat MTDC resort. With great difficulty we could locate the small MTDC signage in the fog. Once inside the resort, the romancing amidst the clouds started.The fog was everywhere, from the resort entrance to the dining hall. There was even a steady stream of fog blowing through our room making the atmosphere almost haunting and magical. The winds were so strong that whole night we could hear the windows creaking and banging. The experience was too good to be true and it was hard deciding whether to go out for a walk in the fog or enjoy it from the warm beneath our blankets. The resort was on the ridge of the ghat with a grand view (if the fog permitted that is of the ravines), a garden and fencing for safety.
The food was not to spectacular, but with good company, chilling winds and the fog playing on your senses, nothing else mattered.
Bhaskar.
