Road conditions are very good and well maintained, the drive takes us just a little more than 3 hours. Piling into our XUV, stocked with good music & lots of munchies, the scenic drive is a much needed break enjoyed by all. Before the trip, however, we always enquire about the condition of Malshej ghat.
We halt for food and snacks in between at the small dhabas along the road which you can always count on for some good aloo parathas and tea! We generally stop & eat in Hotel Arya in Balegaon, about 40 mins before Malshej; there are 1-2 more within this area. After Kalyan, you will only find very small dhabas without much facilities, so keep your toilet breaks in mind.

Can you pl let me know how safe was the ghats to self drive? Were they very steep and winding with lot of hairpin bends? And also how long ( km /time taken ) is the ghats part of the journey?
Will appreciate if you can respond.
