Generation-Z or Gen-Z as they are popularly called, likes shutting itself away to have its own spin on a few days’ break

Long drive jaayenge 
A hit playlist, fogged-up windows, stops for chai and Maggi, with a view of luscious hills — that can fix you after a hectic week. Long drives are lowkey while still max on the fun. Maharashtra’s many scenic sites include Lonavala, Mahabaleshwar, Igatpuri, and Matheran

Exploring your city 
Who says vacations have to be outside Mumbai? Save on the transport, stay local. Explore parks; check out the work of street artists outside Jehangir Art Gallery as well as the exhibits inside; hang out at a new café (or an old favourite); sign up for a workshop. See your city with a fresh perspective

Airbnb in the city
Have a staycation on your own terms; book an Airbnb with your besties and let your hair down. Themed Airbnbs are trending, like tropical beach homes that make you feel as if you’re in Goa, and fairytale-themed cottages to take you into Tinkerbell’s world

Overnight trek
Get away from the city hustle and bustle, and reconnect with nature. There are multiple waterfall treks from Mumbai you can be a part of, especially now nearing monsoon end, and various mountains in Maharashtra ranging from beginner-friendly to advanced, perfect for whether you’re a fitness freak or someone who dreads climbing stairs
