Khandala Maharashtra

Khandala is a perfect weekend with its scenic valleys, grassy hills, serene lakes and misty waterfalls for Mumbaikar because it is very closed to Mumbai. Khandala is located at the top end of the Bhor Ghat, a major ghat on the road link between the Deccan Plateau.

The route near Khandala sunset point and khopoli has been there since centuries used to connect the coastal cities like Sopara to Pune. The transport from base of khopoli was by carts both hand pulled and horse drawn, which was tarred during British time somewhere in 1840.
