Maharashtra is truly blessed with diversity. The Konkan coast is famous for its many beaches – each with its unique beauty, and the rich koliwada culture and cuisine. The majestic Sahyadri range is dotted with treacherous forts made famous by the Maratha king Raja Shiv Chatrapati. Trekking up these mountain forts gives both the adrenalin rush of an adventure and a feeling of pride for those who fought for freedom and swarajya. Dense forests, rock cut caves, breathtaking waterfalls, pristine lakes, holy rivers, gentle slopes, and vast plains… Maharashtra has it all.

Centuries-old temples situated in places like Pandharpur, Ozar, Kolhapur, Shirdi etc. are still rooted in their traditions, offering sanctuary to pilgrims. Maharashtra is also home to the Ashtavinayak (a group of eight different temples dedicated to Lord Ganesha – one of Maharashtra’s beloved deities), and five of the 12 Jyotirlingas.

Mahabaleshwar, Lonavala, Matheran, nestle cosily in nature, provide respite to travellers from the hustle and bustle of cities. The amalgamation of these varieties of things that this state offers will make your visit here absolutely worthwhile
