Route:\u00a0<\/strong>Mumbai – Mahabaleshwar – Kaas Plateau<\/span><\/p>\nMahabaleshwar<\/a> is a popular weekend destination for Mumbaikars and it doesn\u2019t disappoint anyone.

Mahabaleshwar is a little paradise nestled in the Sahyadris and is the highest hill station in the Western Ghats.

Together Ganpatipule-Ratnagiri region offers some of the best beaches of Maharshtra that would give Goa a run for its money.

Amboli a less known hill-station is still untouched by commercialization so stay options are limited. Goa is just 100 km from Amboli.
