      We three started our journey from pune railway station. We reached at station by 7am. We caught local at 7.50 am from platform no.6 .we reached malvali railway station nearly around on 9.15 am.
              It was beautiful morning when we reached to malvali. We had Poha breakfast near railway station.
             Once you reach to malvali railway station, you need to cross a bridge built on top of mumbai pune expressway
