Bhavali Dam Cycling
The vibe of cycling through these surreal landscapes, paved roads of 30 kilometres in the balmy weather, is something words would fall short of describing! Out of the city's hustle and clamour, this cycling route passes through rugged countryside trail and meadows to clinch into a turquoise shaded lake. One shouldn't even think once before plunging straight into it. We will be riding across two grand cascades until the heavenly, third cascade, which are the Bhavali Waterfalls, where you can bring your cycles through a little stream, right to the foot of the falls! Dive into the infinity pool to wash away all the exhaustion you may have gotten to reach here.
We will also be cycling further to the delightful mountains to another lake before we sit down by the lakeside to enjoy a wholesome luncheon. Then we cycle back to Igatpuri and savour the 15 kilometres quick but adventurous downhill ride to Kasara.

Best months to visit: The best time to cycle around Igatpuri and Bhavali waterfall is during the beginning of the monsoons and post-monsoon. Because when it rains, the hillside suddenly bursts into greenery, and during those short dry spells before and after the monsoons, the soil is firm enough to cycle effortlessly. Monsoons is also a great time to ride through because it's less sunny, and one can find more green coverage along with mist-clad mountains and the Bhavali waterfalls in their utmost glory.
