What people say, in short
One person recommends Tamhini Ghat as a scenic spot a short drive from Pune. A Saturday visitor said the roads were manageable for a sedan, though there was heavy traffic, which the visitor thought might be a weekend effect. When someone asked about riding from Kashid or Diveagar to Pune in the evening, three commenters warned that the ghat gets lonely after 7pm, one of them also reported no-network zones, and another said the route is good for bikes but urged caution at night. In contrast, one person praised night drives there for the mist and weather.
