Over the clouds

Maharashtra, a state known for its bustling cities, is also home to some of India's natural treasures. Though they can be overshadowed by the state's urban centres, these sites hold a unique charm and offer a different facet of Maharashtra's beauty. Varandha Ghat, in the Bhor region of Maharashtra, 108 kilometres from Pune, is a part of the Sahyadri mountain range and covers an expanse of 10 kilometres, and offers a mesmerising view of rolling hills, lush green valleys and cascading waterfalls. It is a serene escape that invites nature enthusiasts and adventure seekers alike.
