Malshej Ghat — Kalyan to Ahmednagar Monsoon Run.
One of Maharashtra's classic monsoon rides, climbing the Kalyan–Ahmednagar highway over the 700m Malshej Ghat where seasonal waterfalls spill straight across the tarmac and pink flamingos gather on the reservoirs below. From the misty Sahyadri crest the route drops onto the dry Deccan plateau, finishing at the historic fort city of Ahmednagar. Ride it July–September for full waterfall drama.
