Cycling in India stage 18 to Nashik

As we left the hill station, we were glad to find it was just over 10 degrees, warmer than we had anticipated .  We rode in hilly country with lovely views, and then we dropped onto a high plateau with a mix of agriculture and dry lands. This a wine producing region. We saw vineyards and lunch was by a winery which we toured and where we bought samples. Having now tasted my sample white and red, I will stick to drinking Kingfisher beer!
Tonight we are staying in a busy regional town which is also a destination for pilgrims who want to swim in the river. It is a bustling and colourful place. A beautiful produce market down by the river, busy shopping streets, and no fussing over tourists.
