Escape the city heat on this classic Sahyadri loop, ascending via the misty Malshej Ghat and returning through the high-speed Kasara curves. Navigate through rustic village roads to reach the serene Arthur Lake, where a lakeside camping experience under the stars awaits. This solo ride offers a perfect mix of technical ghat corners, off-beat rural trails, and highway cruising. Note: As of April 7, 2026, a phase-wise shutdown of government road and building works is underway across Maharashtra, including Mumbai and Thane, which may cause delays and disruptions on the route.
Depart early to avoid Kalyan traffic. Take the Eastern Express Highway towards Kalyan/Murbad. Be aware of potential delays due to ongoing road and building works in Mumbai and Thane.
