	Malshej ghat now a reveller's nightmare
		PUNE, Aug 6: Malshej Ghat, a picturesque mountain pass descending to Konkan about 135 northwest of Pune, is gradually turning into an infamous accident spot, if the record at Otur police station is any indicator.
		Negotiating the crowded curved roads in the Ghat, especially those near the waterfalls, remains a difficult proposition mainly because of the vehicles haphazardly parked.Arve puts the number of tourist buses and other vehicles at the Ghat on weekends at around 700.
		Some drivers at the Ghat suggested that the curving roads should be widened as a solution.

		Malshej’s mountain trails have some rich flora and fauna, a beautiful waterfall and during monsoons a beautiful pond where migratory birds love to stop by.
		Malshej is a treat for eyes sore from endless concrete, and cool relief, for skin scorched under Mumbai’s blazing 36 degrees Celcius.
		However, before you get all excited, let me warn you that like many places close to the city, Malshej too has its set of drunken rowdies which often try and ruin its calm with catcalls and lewd antics.
