About This Journey
Maharashtra Wine & Western Ghats — Premium
This is a slow loop from Mumbai through hill station and wine country. Two nights at Lonavala give you cool air and Sahyadri viewpoints. Two nights in Nashik give you vineyards and the Godavari ghats.
Drives are short and the days are unhurried. It is a break from the cities rather than a sightseeing marathon.
- 01
Lonavala's ridgeline
Viewpoints, lakes and, in the monsoon, waterfalls that spill off the cliffs. We choose the best spots for the season.
- 02
A vineyard stay at Nashik
Nashik is India's wine country. A day among the vines includes a tour, a tasting and lunch beside the water.
- 03
The Godavari ghats
At dusk the ghats at Ramkund fill with lamps and bells. It is a quiet counterpoint to the vineyard days.
- 04
A slow road
The route runs between hills and farmland. We build in unhurried stops for coffee and views.
