After our foray into MP last time (pics of which are uploaded here, from Bhedagat's marble rocks), we decided to explore the unknown territory of Easternmost Maharashtra in Gondia district. A place called Navegaon Bandh (dam) was our target. We finally succeeded. But after consulting many maps, because directions were not too clear. After taking the highway to Raipur, we turned right at a place called Sakholi, and went asking for directions from friendly residents, turned left at Sangadi, reaching Navegaon Park around 3 and a half hours after we started.
Amazing place, a combo of Sundarbans and any lake that you may have seen elsewhere. Lazy birds in the marshy surroundings of the reservoir of the dam, trees of many varities, a mountain backdrop with yellow and green leaves resembling the US Fall colours in October, made for a mesmerising and tranquil experience. The flame of the forest, an tree with blazing orange flowers in full bloom along the way to Navegaon also made it a great visual treat. After a quick bite, and a drive through the park, we headed back.
