An Octane Department drive · Saturday 13 February 2027
We leave Panvel on the Mumbai Pune Expressway, come off at Khopoli and take the old NH48 up the Bor Ghat through Khandala, then breakfast in Lonavala and a stop at Tiger Point. About 75 km one way.
The old ghat carries trucks and buses, so we climb in small groups and nobody overtakes on a blind bend. Breakfast is paid by each person. You make your own way back.
