Amby Valley : Rich Men's Road




The ride to Amby Valley is a very comfortable one day ride for riders in Bombay. Once you hit the NH4 after Panvel, the ride to Amby Valley is a glide. I would recommend rider friends to start early (like 5 AM), so that you can have nice breakfast at Dutta Snacks in Panvel around 6-6.30 AM. After the break-fast, ride will be smooth, comfortable and relaxing. These days its very common to spot group of Ducati, BMW or Yamaha super bikes on NH4. The road to Amby Valley is pretty well marked in Lonavala, so no rider would actually miss the road. There aren't not many places to eat after the Tiger point, though there is a beer shop :)

Distance : 250-280 Kms from Bombay (return ride)

Reaching there : Old Bombay-Pune highway (NH4) from Panvel. Enter Lonavala and take the road Amby Valley road.

Road Conditions : Top Notch

Do not miss : While riding up from Khopoli, after the TATA Power Colony ... you will see a small post office and a tea-stall on the right. Stop there for smoke,tea and vada-pao. The guy is good.
