Malshej trip on this weekend.

[abhilabh]

  Hello guys as we all know monsoon is here and i this this is right time to do small monsoon trip. Malshej is a wonderful place for monsoon landscapes  ( i dont know much about macros ) and if any one wish to come there we can plan a single day trip to malshej and back . This is bit early to go but ghats will be less crowded and with good roads too.

here is tentative plan (SAt or Sun)

we've to start early before 6 a.m. as Malshej is 180kms from Thane .

reach M.T.D.C. hotel by 1-1.30. p.m  have lunch and start heading back to home .

I think everyone should be back home before 10 p.m. 

i am good with both sunday and  Saturday .

sounds like a good plan....have u been there before?

i found these pics for malsej ghat via google on someones blog...i need shots like this...do you know this location? I dont want those pics of ppl showering below the waterfall with beer bottles in thier hand What say you??





theres also apparently birds and lost of insects so it should be a good trip for everyone!!

Not disappoint u guys , but landscapes in hill station in rains , i doubt u will get clear weather. In addition this place comes in heavy rainfall. Whole malshej ghat will be in mist, fog. I prefer to shoot this place in 2nd week of sep. This time it is best place of macro but u should have one expert who knows this place in details. BNHS organize same tour.
I am telling u becoz abhi mentioned about Landscapes otherwise this place is awesome for macro and certainly worth going for gr8 weather.

There will be lotsssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss , everywhere  like matheran , mhabi , Varanda ,satara, amboli.

i completely agree with Dr.Anand  but still i want to give it a try and also ayaz i know this lake but generally in monsoon this lake is covered with thick fog its near MTDC resort so there is very little chance that u'll get such shot. Any ways i'll be riding to malshej on this sat or sun so those who wish to come please join me .

Yes abhilap , u can give a try since it not raining in mumbai , might u wont get rain.  crossing fingers for u for NO RAIN.

[Dr.Anand]

Good News , As per news paper Meteorological report Rain wont be there for at least next 5-7 days. So certainly u can go ahead.

  Came back with little disappointment though Ride was great enjoyed it to the core but Pics didnt came well (may be i was expecting too much )  . Have no experience shooting in foggy weather i think need some(a lot of ) practice still i will PP some of them and if they are worth upload i will share them with you all .
