Panshet trek


It was an exhilarating experience and a much needed break from the normal chores. Panshet is called 'Pune's switzerland' and it is. Mountainous range with draped greenery and cut-throat waterways. The accompanying river emulates an Amazon thanks to the recent downpour that makes its water muddy. Panshet is around 40 kms from Swargate, Pune and is well connected by tar. After wandering in the mountainous trek for around 2 hours, we finally pit-stopped at a desi dhaba and had desi chicken. Finally, we started to Splendour City which happens at 12 km down the fork before the Sinhagad crux. It is a resort with 4 ft swimming pool, snooker, karaoke juke-box and a cafeteria. I personally did not like the food as it was a bland. having said that, a lunch and a snack coupled with all the recreation facilities is every penny worth the 450 bucks.
We dived and peddled in the pool for an hour, had lunch, played snooker, sang songs in Karaoke and darted a dart board. It was real fun and a perfect team outing.
More than anyone else, I'm desperate for the next one !!
