Our first real excursion outside of the city. We travel about 3 hours south of Pune to Mahabaleshwar which is a hill station noted for it's fantastic views, cooler weather because of its altitude, and strawberries. This is in the western Ghats. We got to visit several points, the most dramatic being Aurthur's seat. The Monkeys are everywhere and can be troublesome. One came out of a tree and stole a child's corn cob. The second day we visited Pratapgad fort which we found very fascinating. Built in 1656 its still in very good condition. We made this trip in the dry season, the least desirable time of year when everything is dried out and brown. We plan on doing it again after the Monsoon season.
