Karjat, Neral and Matheran feature among the nearby destinations represented in this guide. Each suits a different type of trip, from family and group stays to celebrations or a visit focused on Matheran.
Compare the route, property setting and activities rather than choosing on distance alone.
Several options are suited to family holidays, family monsoon breaks and spacious accommodation. The best choice depends on the children’s ages, your preferred activities and whether you need easy movement around the property.
Ask about room arrangements, meal options, rainy-day activities and the walking required between facilities.
