Standing halfway along the Lakdi Pool bridge on the Mutha river when the river is in flood is an awe-inspiring experience. One feels the mighty force moving right under you.

Mumbiram found a walk on the windy bridge to be one of the happiest experiences in Pune on any day. The churning waters of the flood were a challenge to the brave lads of Pune.
