Roaming near Mumbai during the monsoon is an enchanting experience that unveils the region’s true natural beauty. The rain-drenched landscapes come alive with lush greenery, waterfalls cascade down hillsides, and the air is filled with a refreshing earthy scent. The monsoon casts a magical spell over iconic sites like Lonavala, Khandala, and Alibaug, transforming them into picturesque havens. We recommend – Aliabug.
Exploring during this time offers respite from the city’s hustle, as mist-covered mountains and serene lakes provide a serene escape. The joy of sipping hot chai by the window as rain taps gently outside is an experience that captures the essence of monsoon near Mumbai.
4- Things to do in Alibaug during monsoon and how to reach there.
- Sagargad fort:
Sagargad trek in Alibaug gives a chance to visit the ancient Saptrishi caves. During the monsoon season, the place looks so serene that trekkers feel like entering an emerald paradise. It is said that the prominent Maratha ruler, Shivaji Maharaj, won this fort in a battle against Adilshah in 1660.
2. Awas Beach:
The most secluded beach in whole of Alibaug and its just 15mins from Mandwa port. The way to reach the beach is also very cozy and quaint. Once you are there, if the skies are clear you can see the faint Mumbai Skyline. Feel free to run, jump and play as beach has handful of visitors at anygiven time, the maximum people we saw were 23 that too on a Sunday evening. Monsoon in Alibaug awas is amazing.
