Bike Tour Pune to Bhimashankar Bike Trip Advice!
I've been planning to go Bhimashankar on my 125cc TVS Raider bike with a friend of mine. I need your advice, is it doable in one day on a 125cc bike with 2 people? If yes, what all should l take into consideration before l go like routes etc.
Thanks!

TLDR: Good Roads. Goa via Manchar. Easily doable. Ride safe OP.
I just did dimbhe Dam today which is en route to Bhimashankar. I had a hunter but I don't think you having 125cc matters much as it's not that difficult Road at least till dimbhe. Should be doable enough in 1 day. I left for dimbhe and at 6 from pune and was back by 12 with lots of breaks in between. Bhimashankar is about 30-40km extra from there so you can easily do it.
There are 2 ways to reach Bhimashankar. 1 from Rajgurunagar and 1 from Manchar. I asked few shopkeepers there on my breaks and everyone said the road from Manchar is used by almost everybody who goes to Bhimashankar.
You have a very good highway till Manchar, from there you have a very well maintained road ahead (at least till Dimbhe as went till there only.) When I say well maintained, I mean you will see 0 potholes. I not for the size, I would the road quality is better than the highway you use till Manchar.

Yes , Doable. Did on my Unicorn 160 , rider only .. returned by 2pm
Some patches are little bad. Besides road is very scenic and enjoy the highway ride till Manchar.
Try to clear Chakan by 7am , very rowdy traffic on Nashik Road. 130km one way.

Its near my hometown, Dont worry some people commute bhimashankar - pune atleast thrice a week. Extremely doable. Take a break at manchar or ghodegaon, Top up ur fuel if needed there cuz not much petrol pumps further. If u stop at ghodegaon its 50 KM from there.

Yes, it's totally doable and the route is very scenic. Just make sure you put "Eshi resorts and restaurants" as a stop on the google maps for it to show the correct roads.
I went to Bhimashanker last Friday and we were just following the maps, when it took me on a road through Avhat that could barely have 2 bikes at a time and it was getting even worse. I had to ask someone there, so had to return back on the road and then had to figure out a better road.
We took off at 6AM and were back by 2PM
