After a year of waiting I finally got to visit Kass(valley of flowers of Maharashtra) yesterday. Unfortunately we went a little early because flowers start blooming in first week of September but very fortunately we went at the best time because other than us there was nobody over there!(probably because of swine flu scare, ganpati or ramjan) Only us and the entire valley ours! Himmanshu, Richa, Nived, Nakshat & I and the mountains and the valley. It was one of the most memorable experiences of my life. For almost 20 kms of stretch there were these lush green mountains with clouds hanging over and untouched valleys waiting to be discovered. The best part was that the road was wide and there were many plane stretches where we could park, eat, play and enjoy the scenery. We also soaked under a water fall, played cricket and frisbee and ran on the roads. The view at some spots was completely breathtaking. My camera could not do justice so I did not venture into taking pictures. Its a place to be experienced and savoured.
In the heart of Vamnoli we found a few dhabas. They did not have any ready stuff and we had to place an order and wait. We ordered jhunka-bhakri and it was quite good. I don't make it at home so no recipe :(
On the way later we had hot ginger tea and kande pohe in the balcony of someone's bungalow who serve once in a while visitors. The view overlooks the valley and I plan to be there for a weekend very soon.
