This month gave me an opportunity to ride my RE Himalayan from Pune to Panjim and back.

With nature being at it’s greenest best, this turned out one awesome solo ride.

Route from Pune to Panjim:
Pune- Satara- Kolhapur- Nipani- Uttur- Pernoli- Gavse- Amboli- Satuli- Banda- Pernem- Mapusa- Panjim.

Route from Panjim to Pune:
Panjim- Mapusa- Tivim- Assonora- Dodamarg- Tillari- Motanwadi- Chandgad- Nesari- Gadhinglaj- Nipani- Kolhapur- Satara- Pune.


Ready for start from my home parking:

Now that is some scenic beauty you have captured sir, thank you for sharing. I have been to Goa a couple of times in past mainly to attend the yearly RMs, but do not remember such beauty enroute. I guess group riding has its own falls

Nevertheless, this time I will try to take this path and observe the surroundings. Such shades of greenary are envious to ignore. Thank you for sharing.

I envy you Mr Bouncer. This is absolutely stunning route, I am sure you've had a blast. Added to the bucket list. The picture under "Tillari Ghat Viewpoint" is stunning. Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful pics. Stunning view. The Konkan region has its own laid-back charm especially in the monsoons. The lush green grass, wildflowers, pristine trees, freshwater streams, picturesque coconut trees, and the mud houses in the midst that look like they are from a gone by era. May sound stupid but it’s like time moves a bit slow when you are there.

I do a lot of Pune-Goa trips but mostly take the Amboli or the Chorla ghat. I will try the Tillari ghat next time.

Recently got to know that the Anuskura ghat is also very scenic. I need to try that one too.

Thanks for sharing a pictorial post. Loved it .

That's absolutely true about Kokan region.

Yes, Anuskura ghat is very scenic. I like that route for travel between Kolhapur & Rajapur. Never been on bike at Anuskura though, been there in a car. Good that you reminded, added to locations for ride.
