The Route<\/strong><\/p>

Scenic routes are the absolute best. And, biking on such a route is thrilling and soothing, both.<\/p>

It all started from the City of Dreams, Mumbai around 5 a.m. in the morning. The first stop was Mangaon, which is approximately 200 kms away from Mumbai. Hungry? Want to grab a snack? Anand Bhavan is your go-to. Grab a piping hot Vada Pav with chillies and enjoy it to the fullest.<\/p>

The Ghats are mesmerizing. Kashedi Ghat and Parshuram Ghat are must-visit locations enroute Tarkarli. As the wind gushes, it brings a fresh whiff of air and life along the way.<\/p>

Halt at Chiplun for a wholesome meal. It\u2019s lunch time! Visit Hotel Highway for some tasty Bhurji Pav or a sumptuous Thali of Chicken, Mutton or Fish. It\u2019s all worth it, we must say.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
