Continuing down the road from Kaas to Satara town, we turned right and passed through a small tunnel. Another right turn put us on the road to Kaas. Initially it was a level road through villages and farm land but it soon turned into a winding ghat road that led past the Sajjangarh fort. On one side we could see entire hilltops covered with the windmills that comprise the Chalkewadi Wind Farm. On the other side was another view of the Urmodi dam and reservoir. Reaching Thoseghar, we heard a loud roar that we soon recognized as the sound of the waterfalls. Even though the monsoon had ended, there was still a lot of water rushing off the cliffs into the gorge carved through the millenia by these powerful falls

Our auto driver was kind enough to act as our guide and show us the viewing points for the main falls as well as the smaller falls where many picnickers were playing in the water. Having noticed my passion for flower photography, he also pointed out a lot of flowers that I dutifully captured on camera. Finally we turned back and came back to Satara town, where our driver / guide pointed out a good place just opposite the ST stand where we could have our lunch. After a nice meal, we caught the next ST bus back to Mumbai, promising ourselves we would come back next year for another trip to Kaas and Thoseghar
