Our Journey To Bamnoli village
we started from Dadar by train to reach Panvel by 2300, we had a private vehicle waiting for us to take us to Vasota. Budget treks and unplanned are the most exiting ones.
Suggestion: If you Guys are Looking to camping at the backwater then opt for this perfect Tent.
Myself and three friends reached Panvel by 2300 but one of our friend was running late and landed up coming by 2345, so we started late for the journey. Dadar -(train) Panvel – Pune – Satara – Bamnoli.
