Monsoon weather in Mumbai is great but everybody wants to escape the mundane lifestyle and relax in the lap of nature. Without having much to travel but to get a pristine view, we have two famous hill stations near Mumbai that are a must-visit during this season. To avoid the daily routine and rejuvenate for the rest of the year, we have some beautiful staycations in Lonavala and Matheran.
Leisure in Lonavala
Lonavala is the first escape for Mumbaikers in monsoon. The hillocks of this place, the mountains surrounded by lush green scapes, and the gushing waterfalls, all make it an ideal place just a few kilometres away from Mumbai. While there are a lot of spots to cover in this hill station, a lot of them have been already explored by people. But one thing stays constant about the place - its weather. And that gives us another reason to visit it to have a relaxing and fun time for a staycation, just to enjoy the vaatavaran.
