Morbe Dam

Captains Log; Star Date 1008.2014

Overcast sky, light breeze. Great monsoon morning for some hot vada pav and chai!

Head out to Shri Dutt at Phalaspe Phata on the old Mumbai – Pune Highway just before the turnoff for Goa.

The joint is pretty famous with people heading out on NH 4 or NH 17. The fast turnover ensures piping hot stuff – vada pav, missal pav and other sundry Maharashtrian snacks, through the day.


NH 4 with its well laid out tar, lined with greenery, some curvy stretches and spaced out traffic makes for a slick drive.

Turn off the highway at Chowk for a look-see of the Morbe Dam.


Good place for a short drive. A trail, just after the village, heading up into the woods looked like a super location for a trek. Apparently this is the trail to Irshalgad, as per Google Maps.

Head to Khopoli to check out Zenith Falls – updated here.
