Karnala Sanctuary is a Paradise in disguise!

If you live in Mumbai, you will have heard about karnala bird santuary . It is a famous weekend tourist spot for mumbaikars. It is located around 60 km from Mumbai and 10 kms from Panvel town. It is well managed now as of 2015 is getting over soon. Not only it is nearest of all spots from Mumbai but also mumbaikars believe that this place is beautiful unlike others. If you live in  Mumbai  you must visit once atleast here. I had already visited here in 2011. That time this place was very unsafe to trek.

Matheran Hill Station Explored

Few months back I visited matheran and since rainy season is about to disappear, I went again to explore more, visiting matheran perhaps last time. All the information is on Google itself so no new info I am gonna provide. Price of bike parking is 45 now though. Entry is same 50 Rupee. I took some great photos I would like to share. I went to cecil point and echo point. A total of 4.5 hours walk, going and coming back. Tiring but a lot of food facility is available there so no need to worry. Truly speaking I am disappointed of Matheran. Its a hill station. It is not a very good place to go for photographers. Very less opportunities for photography . If you are just looking for cool and rainy windy weather even in summers, then you can go to this hill station.
