Relationship between Monsoon and Western Ghats is quite
special. It is one of the first region of our country where monsoon hits after
the scorching summer. As a result, many getaways have come up over the years in
the Sahyadri. I am listing out my 5 favorite weekend getaways in Western Ghats which
you should try this monsoon.
Lonavala/ Khandala
There is a reason why Aamir
khan asked Rani Mukherjee to come to Khandala. This small town on Mumbai-Pune highway
is the most famous weekend getaway and you can feel its beauty only by being
there.
Matheran
Perhaps the best place in Sahyadri. Its
pristine beauty is delight for your eyes. It’s No Vehicle Allowed policy is
unique in true sense. So you will not hear a single horn in this India’s
smallest hill station. It’s only place in Sahyadri Mountains which is
accessible by a beautiful toy train, which takes you through green mountains
and Scenery locations. It has a Zip- line of 450 m which can also be a special
reason to be there.
Mahabaleshwar
If you love strawberries, this place is heaven for you. This exotic fruit is
a crowd puller to Mahabaleshwar, the most commercialized getaway located around
120 km from Pune and 250 km from Mumbai. It has more than 20 valley tourists’ points.
Home to one of the finest Boarding school is Panchgani a stone throw distance
from Mahabaleshwar. Mapro garden is a must try option here, don’t miss it.
Kamshet
Kamshet is the latest getaway which is
developing on the tourists map. Apart from its seneric locations it has various
sport firms which are offering activities like Paragliding, Hot air ballon ride
and water rapelling.
Malshej Ghat
It is the least explored place in
Sahyadri mountains. There would be numerous seasonal waterfalls on your way and
trust me there is nothing better place to bathe than a waterfall.
