Nashik | Sunday | 15th January, 2017

Summary:

"A long drive during a chilly morning is a refreshing experience itself. And the hottest points for them to take a short break on way to their destinations are turning out to be the hottest tea stalls or the favourite 'misal' corners.Nashikities take pride to flaunt their passion for 'misal' as many would not mind even travelling 30-40 km to relish their favourite dish. And when it ends at a 'misal' point, it becomes fulfilling too," said Vishal Jagtap, a member of a bikers' club in the city.There are many villages near Nashik which serve 'misal' and are quite popular among the gastronomes. The hot cuppa of that humble 'chai' or a plate of the staple 'misal' is turning out to be the coolest topping on the nature's treats for weekenders this winter As the mercury continues to swing between the bone-chilling lows and cool 10-degree range, tourists are busy hitting the road and trekkers packing their backpacks. Among these villages are Ghoti, Trimbakeshwar, Naitale and Saikheda, which not only attract the foodies but also those consumed by wanderlust.The trekking expedition calendars are also full, even when the mercury remained below the 8-degree mark at a stretch..
