Bhuleshwar – Lord Shiva’s Abode
Last June, before our visit to the Lord Khandoba temple at Jejuri, we spent the entire day at Bhuleshwar. It is located at a driving distance of 6 hours from Mumbai (Imagine…distance measured in hours…Indian thought process…haha) on the Mumbai Pune highway. Actually, it is situated around 45kms from Pune and 10 km on Pune Solapur highway from Yawat. Driving down the highway during the monsoon is an experience in itself. Lush green vegetation, misty moist breeze, rains lashing across, it makes its way through the scenic Sahyadri mountain ranges through passes and tunnels. There is no place to stay in Bhuleshwar so best option is to put up in Jejuri that is dotted with small lodges or stay in Pune and make a day trip to Bhuleshwar.
