Maharashtra
has some very pretty hill stations. The curving, craggy range of the
Sahyadri mountains form a spine along the coastline of Maharashtra. The
Western Ghats, which form a part of the range, are home to several
charming hill stations. In fact, even in the colonial era, people
travelled up to some of these small towns to escape from the searing heat
of the plains of Maharashtra. Many hill stations have retained their
old-world charm, making them an ideal weekend getaway or holiday haven.
The popular hill stations of Maharashtra are Matheran, Lonavala, Khandala,
Mahabaleshwar, Panchagani, Bhandardara, Malshej Ghat, Amboli, Chikhaldara
Panhala, Panchgani, Sawantwadi, Toranmal, and Jawahar, each hill station
having a unique characteristic and its proximity to a city has made it
very popular.
