Shrug off that early morning sleepiness with a kick from the finest cup of tea sold by a small shop next to the Indian Oil Petrol Pump on JVLR. Fuel up on some tea while your ride guzzles some gas for the ride ahead.

Can’t ignore the morning hunger pangs anymore? Those looking for some deliciously spicy authentic Maharashtrian food, you must halt here! You can reach Vashi via the Sion Panvel Highway by taking a left from the last traffic intersection on JVLR.

For the faint-hearted eagerly looking for less spicy options, head on to Kharghar where you can avail regular breakfast meals such as Poha and Sabudana Khichdi, served hot and fresh on hand carts.

Say good bye to the concrete jungle and hello to the lush greenery. Panvel is a favourite location for tourists looking forward to a short break. Located close to the toll-plaza on the way out of Mumbai, you will notice many fast food joints where you can pack small bites and drinks for your journey!

Wide roads greet you at Kholpoli and here is where you can put your ride to the test on the fast roads and sweeping turns. Keep a watch, since the roads do get a little tricky after a while.

Don’t want to put a break to a great ride? Take the fork to the AH 47 and charge through till you reach the base of Bhor Ghats. Said to be discovered by Shingroba, the locals here have built a temple dedicated to the deity.

5 kms ahead, the Amrutanjan point offers tourists a beautiful view of the Sahayadri range and the Mumbai - Pune Expressway. Expect some peace and quiet time here!

All the sight-seeing must have made you hungry again? Give the Cheese Pakoda and Ginger Tea, a try at the Photo Point and you will walk away with a big smile. If there’s still some space in your stomach, ride over to Tiger Point and try their yummy Sandwiches and Chicken Kebabs.
