We all have heard about the Ghats, especially during our geography classes. We remember marking them on maps and reading about them. But do they really fancy us then? The general answer is no. We were never attracted to them as we were to valleys, waterfalls, beaches, and even dessert too. The reason is that it is very underrated and we generally visit the place which is traveled by most of our peers. But Ghats have a lot more to offer than it seems to. One such Ghat which we will actually take you on joy ride is Tamhini Ghat. So here all the things that you need to know about it and at the end of this blog, you would definitely give it a try!
