Description
Mahabaleshwar range is a place where you can visit any time of year and enjoy it. This place never disappoints you. Mahableshwar is the best hill station of Maharashtra. It is situated about 4500 ft. above sea level on the Sahyadri spurs. It was the erstwhile summer capital of the Old Bombay Presidency. The tourists are enthralled by its exotic greenery, beautiful gardens & breath-taking scenery. It feels very soothing and calm to be in this region for this time of year. Forests are lush green, rivers are full of clear water and all wildlife and birds are happily roaming around.
So at this perfect time of year, we are going to the core of this region, it's time to do the Vadagaon - Bhimachi Kathi - Kudapan - Pratapgad trek. The 1000 feet waterfall in between is cherry on the cake.
