 |
| The geography of Maharashtra shows evidence of a divine hand. Running north to
south, throughout its length are the steeply rising Western Ghats. The
foothills sometimes approaching the seashore and sometimes withdrawing 40 or 50
kms away seem to be playing an eternal game with the Arabian Sea. |
|
| Nestling shyly in these mountains, some at an altitude of 2000 metres, are the
hill stations of Maharashtra. These towns offer clean, calm and a thoroughly
refreshing alternative to city life. They are probably the only places in India
where you can observe the fall of the land all the way to the shimmering sea.
Mumbai, India's commercial capital, and easily the most accessible city in this
country, is the perfect gateway to Maharashtra's hill country, with convenient
and comfortable links by road, rail, and air. |
