Peaceful Place: Rameshwar Vaibhav (One Day Picnic Spot)

Presently Rameshwar Vaibhav appeared haunted to me, however the road leading to Rameshwar Vaibhav was beautiful. I would say it is nice little picnic spot for mumbaites during the Rainy Season. Due to request from a few I have changed the title from Haunted place to a Peaceful place.
The Rameshwar Vaibhav Development Co. Pvt. Ltd had developed this 1,600 foot high hill as hill station.

How to reach there?

It is on the way to Pali (Ashtvinayak Temple)
Take the Mumbai-Pune expressway.
Then take the Khopoli Exit immediately after the Toll Naka.
Then take the road towards Pali.
Around 20 kms or so after taking the exit there is a right turn for Rameshwar Vaibhav. From here the road to Rameshwar Vaibhav is really beautiful during the Rainy Season.
There is a huge waterfall in 'Padsare' which is only a few kms from Rameshwar Vaibhav.

I also found the below excellent information on Rameshwar Vaibhav from Milind Gunaji's "Offbeat tracks in Maharastra"
The road leading up the hill is a pleasure to traverse during the rainy season and is of special delight to birwatchers who can spot Golden Aureoles, Paradise Flycatchers and Bulbuls flitting between trees. The forest abound with hares, foxes and wild boar. At the foot hill is Kawela Dam, which adds to the beautiful surroundings.
The Rameshwar temple is on the eastern side of the hill. From the path leading to the temple, the forts of Sudhagad and Sarasgad on the Sahyadri ranges can be easily spotted. To the west of the hill is a small village, a short climb from here takes you to Sunset Point. From this point, the Meers hill range near Pen appears to be very close. During the monsoon, a short climb down will take you to a marvellous waterfall.

Why this blog?

Treasurethoughts hmm.... now isn't that a good name? Initially I hunted for a good name in sanskrit, but sadly could not find any.Why this blog?I believe that I have lost precious (treasure - u see why the name now?) thoughts over a period of time. I often wonder how I used to think about issues several years back. What all thoughts have I been through? The debates my mind has had with itself. How has my understanding of issues changed? How has my perception of other people's thoughts changed? How my thoughts have transformed?Let me now try to jot down things from time to time. And then let's see if I really do justice to the name of the blog.I also hope this blog gets the best of my writing skills.While talking to a friend of mine I expressed how strongly i feel about writing but just never started it. And lately just thought about it. The friend just dropped in a nice line "unless u spread ur wings n fly u will never know how high u can soar"
