Panchgani trip- Parsi and Sydney point

                                                         Parsi and Sydney point

After having  nice time at Table land, it was time to explore some famous Ghats at Panchgani.. The nearest we found was Parsi Point.. Come down from the Table Land towards the town and take left, once you reach the main road... A kilometer ride and you will see the view in the picture below... this is Parsi Point

Parsi Point

The bad thing about Parsi point is, it has very less space to stand as there were many Marigo rounds etc build for kids..... you will find children shouting and jumping like Macaques at this place... ;-)
But don't worry, get out of there and walk some 30 feet towards your left and you will see a nice location to sit and relax..( see the pic below)

We sat there for some time and clicked some pics, while letting the cold breeze recondition us..

I have no words to explain how one can get reconciled with this place so easily.. I was enjoying my beautiful coexistence with the nature, but suddenly a loud voice broke the harmony ... ICE-CREAM LELO !!! ICE-CREAM !! ......God!!! is there any place in India left, where one can sit peacefully???
Within a fraction of second, a large crowd rushed towards this new found place to get an "Ice-cream Bite"... Time to wrap up!!!.... after a 2 minutes Vroom Vroom on the bike, we were setting our sights at Sidney Point..

Sidney Point

Since, it was getting darker, we decided to leave the place early after some quick snaps.. Not that I was afraid of riding at night, it was my friend Manish who was getting jittery about riding pillion after 6:30 pm .... :-P
On our way back home something  grabbed our attention ......

It was Sherbaug the "Man made Waterfall".. we parked our bike and when we entered there, it was raining inside !!! it looked quite interesting...The entrance had a jungle theme to it with an artificial blue stream of water continuously flowing. The theme park had winding pathways where people can walk in single file, through archways, past waterfalls, gardens, flower beds, horticultural spaces etc...  we enquired further and managed to get some information about the entry fee..
1. Entry fee :- Rs. 250 per person
2. Camera  :- Rs. 100

 Next time I am coming here for sure...

In the end.. it was a really good experience at Panchgani.. I was heartbroken to leave this beautiful place.. Me and my friend Manish, both turned quiet while riding back home, recollecting some great events of the day....
