Meeting Point

Overview

Feel the throttle meet the monsoon. This Bhandardara ride is a 360° Sahyadri experience where misty ghats, emerald rice fields, and thundering waterfalls frame every mile. You’ll carve through twisties in the Kalsubai belt, cruise past cloud-draped valleys, and splash by streams that turn the route into a living postcard. It’s equal parts adrenaline and awe—wet tarmac, cool breeze in your visor, and that earthy petrichor that only the rains can brew.
