Be it historical richness or natural beauty, Maharashtra is the land of stunning destinations that are secluded yet breathtaking, unexplored yet magnificent. The Konkan coast and Western Ghats merge to make way for some scenic getaways speckled with forts, villages, beaches, waterfalls, and hill stations. And monsoon is the best time to explore the unexplored bits of the state. Verdant greenery, gushing waterfalls, and misty hills not only contribute to a pleasant weather, but also a breathtaking sight that is worth beholding forever.
