Who Is It For?
Anyone who loves nature, anyone who is looking to spend the weekend in a different way. Skip the bars for a weekend and experience something surreal instead.
Why Should I Go?
Maharashtra is a sort of a treasure land when it comes to weekend getaways with most of the places being easily accessible. You can sit by the lake, look around at the cultural heritage that the valley has to offer, shop at the local market and so much more.
