Hill Station Blessed With Evergreen Forests

There are not many countries in the world that can boast of a diverse, colourful and rich culture as India. What adds to the essence of the place is that the culture it holds is centuries old and has still managed to remain intact, unaffected by the sudden yet fast pace with which the world is moving ahead and at the same time, there is the development that you see in all the major cold countries, in the metros and smaller cities of the country.

Most will agree with me when I say that India is one of the most coveted, safe and welcoming countries of the world and there is no other place that can offer the amount that India does in the form of monuments, historic and cultural sites, national parks and zoos etc. The best tourist places of India have been summarized for you.

Mahabaleshwar

It is considered as a hill station and is blessed with a number of evergreen forests.

Also known as – Land of Strawberries

Located in: Maharastra; South west of Pune

Connection with the cities of India

Road-The city is well connected by all three routes, that is road, rail and air. Road transit seems to be the most convenient method of travel to the place. National Highway 4 is the main highway that leads travelers to the city. There are buses that are owned by the Maharashtra government that run to the city. Private owned buses are also present.
