From Mumbai, it is a journey of about 3 hours 10 minutes by car. The places covered
during the journey are Mumbai - Thane - Shahapur - Ghoti - Nashik. On the way, there
are several ATMs, hospitals, petrol pumps, hotels, rest stops and dhabas. Eating joints such as Pizza
Hut and McDonald's are also present on the route.
En route
the views are breath taking, the beauty of the village Igatpuri is what words and camera can not justify. NH3 on the Mumbai Nashik expressway is two lane and the beauty, if only these pictures can do the justice
In the middle of the mountains this two lane road turns and a new mountain range emerges on the horizon.
A journey through mountain is supposed to be scary but this one is pleasant in a pleasant way.
The route by road from
Mumbai to Nasik is very scenic after one leaves the Kalyan/Bhiwandi area. The
road is quite good. The ghat section after Kasara and up to Igatpuri is
particularly good. The traffic on the whole is not usually very heavy.
The journey in itself is a destination. We feel that for this road only we will come again and again.
