Bhimashankar
We planned for a weekend outing to Bhimashankar. Bhimashankar is one of the 12 jyotirlings in India. The shivling here is made in silver and visitors are allowed to enter inside and can touch the shivling.
We hired a cab and started from Pune at around 9.30am. The distance from Pune to Bhimashankar is around 130kms and it took us ~3-3.5 hours to reach the temple which included a breakfast break of about half an hour with kids.
As we were travelling in a Xylo, these big cars move a lot during cuts and curves on the road and that induces a nauseatic feeling. I had my 8-month old kid with me and she vomited twice due to this.
We reached the temple and it took us around 2 hours to reach inside and do the darshan. Darshan happened nicely, but as it was 3pm, it was time for Aarti and they had to close the premises for cleaning, the temple staff were in a bit hurry.
We also visited ram temple which is also in the same campus. While walking back, we had corn chaat from one of the vendors. We then started our drive back to Pune. There was a resort (Jungle Park Resort) and restaurant (Blue Mormon) 10 kms from Bhimashankar, on the way back to Pune. We stopped the to have lunch. They have both veg and non veg and they serve meals all through the day. The food was average. They don't have the facility to accept cards.
After filling our tummies, we started again for Pune and reached home around 9pm.
