Travel! I want to Travel! That's all my mind is screaming every single day lately. But at the same time, I want to stay safe and away from the crowd. And I am sure, you want the same too! Unless you are the risk taker kinds, then go for it, take a flight to nowhere!
But seriously, if you are one of those who do not want to take all the pain of taking a flight during the pandemic, yet getaway from home, just take a break for 2-4 days and drive up to this amazing resort. The no.1 reason why I love this property surrounded by serenity, is that its just 4-6 hours away by road from Mumbai or even lesser from Pune!
I highly recommend to stay at the Le Meridien Mahabaleshwar Resort and Spa, to getaway from the fast paced Mumbai city life!
