As the state of Maharashtra is the Home of Sahydri
Mountains, the state has many appealing hill stations. The Britishers
founded most of these hill stations during their colonial era to beat
the scorching heat. But the beauty and the charming glory are still
alive in these hill stations. The Western Ghats, which form a part of
the Sahydri range, has also lots of beautiful hill stations.
Hill stations of Maharashtra not only attract the foreign tourists but
also Indian domestic tourists, which are exhausted with the fast urban
life. Popular hill stations of Maharashtra are Matheran, Lonavala,
Khandala, Mahabaleshwar, Panchagani, Bhandardara, Malshej Ghat, Amboli,
Chikhaldara Panhala, Panchgani, Sawantwadi, Toranmal, and Jawahar. It is
said that each hill station of Maharashtra has unique characteristic and
its closeness to a city makes it very popular.
