Why I love Sahyadri? I don’t have answer. I have pictures. Now a day I am wandering into the Koyana wildlife sanctuary region. One of the blessed lands you can say. Winds floating over this land carry moisture and sweet fragrance in the air. You can see three colour green of trees, red of the soil & blue of the sky & water. That’s enough to describe this fairyland.
And if you enter into the woods you can hear the silence. Yes it’s true! You can actually see clouds passing by and their shadows floating on the jungle. So serene is the environ.
Farms are descended on the hill slopes. Their formations take our eyes slowly down in the valley. Some farms in the Koyana valley offer you the view of Koyana dam. A total cinematic experience. No camera or eye can capture it to the fullest. But yes your mind can feel it.
Koyana River is known to Maharashtra as its lifeline. It gives us electricity, water and many more natural resources. The dam is the largest in Maharashtra 110TMC water holding capacity. Both sides jungle is hovering on the water. Monsoon is the real cool season here. You can see numerous things sprouting out of the wetland and they surprise you with their colors, shapes, sizes ‌.. Some of them I saw on my way. Here they are.
Even small creatures dish out the monsoon feast. One of them is pink crab found in these hills. He comes out to eat mossy substance growing on the rocks and slides inside again if we go closer to him.
When a wind comes from the west coast it swirls in every direction so do the rain. We have no option from getting wet. Even we have umbrella rain still manages to wet us. Due to heavy rainfall forest is thick and waterfalls in abundance.
When the rain is in full bloom most happiest person on this earth is the farmer.
Here you will discover many things in every nook & corner. Every step comes alive with the rain shower. High mountain wall facing Kokan mesmerize you with its sheer size and beauty. A friend of mine calls it an oxygen park. Koyana is the lungs of Maharashtra. You won’t like to leave it & go back to the city life.
