The post-monsoon green splendour of the Deccan plateau

28th August 2018

Raji and I are making our way to Aurangabad from Chennai.  Flew in to Mumbai, took a cab to Dadar Junction, where after lunch and some waiting, we boarded the Jan Shatabdi to Aurangabad.

We were armed  with books, music and crossword, but the views from the windows were so gorgeous, we stared open-mouthed for the most part.
On the Jan Shatabdi, after thane, the countryside was just absolutely gorgeous.

Washed, green, lush fields and streams and little waterfalls.

We went through narrow gorges, a  tunnel and a couple of bridges.

Rolling terrains, and not a soul.


Until we reached Nashik on the western edge of the plateau.

Then it was farms, vineyards and towns.  As dusk fell, we lost visibility, and then it was time to sleep and entertain ourselves.  The show outside had stopped, sadly.

Aurangabad station, the usual chaos, and trees full of roosting egrets.
