Maharashtra, the land of limitless things, welcomes you into its vast array of attractions. This is crowned with the majestic Western Ghats Sahyadri ranges with high mountains vanishing into the morning mist, while the Konkan Coast’s vast belt captivates the eyes with its white beaches. Among others the remains of the ancient forts and palaces in Pune and Ratnagiri proudly narrates the story of Maharashtra’s then mighty rulers. Located in places like Pandharpur, Ozar, centuries-old temples are still rooted in their rituals and give pilgrims sanctuaries. Like Mahabaleshwar’s tiny hill stations, Lonavala, Matheran, cozily nestled in nature, provide a break from the city’s hustle and bustle for travelers.
