It has got number of waterfalls and the greenery is just awesome during the monsoons
The site is home to hundreds of different kinds of flora and fauna especially the avian population such as quails, rails, crakes, flamingos and cuckoos.

Stopped over at Malshej Ghat on the way back. The place was still covered with clouds, however this time round the clouds were up in the hills rather than on the road. Hope to return here soon for another photo session.
Most of them poured over the road - our route that goes horizontally rightwards in the pic.
A solitary weathered rock formation stands at some distance from the road. The overhead clouds cast an ominous gloom on the surroundings.
