I just love the monsoons…it is absolutely magical when the Mumbai rains come & bring everything back to life! It opens up a long list of places to visit near Mumbai in monsoon for a short n’ sweet getaway to just unwind and relax.
The ‘mitti ki khushboo’ with plants, flowers and trees in full bloom; there is so much freshness all around. This is especially true for the outskirts of Mumbai where all shades of green appear in front of the eyes…Mumbai monsoon truly is heaven for nature lovers!
To us, Mumbaikars, it brings happiness as finally it’s time to enjoy
the lower temperatures, refreshing breeze and the gentle sprinkle of rain drops. Couples go for romantic walks or drives- the famous Raj Kapoor & Nargis scene comes alive with the Bombay baarish. 🙂
For me, going on a quick drive around places to visit near Mumbai in monsoon while having some garma garam pakode and a glass of piping hot masala chai completes the whole monsoon experience!
Great article, being Mumbai for the past 5 years now, I have been to most of these palces and indeed like you I also eagerly await the monsoons to start. Quite intrigued by Purushwadi can you give me more information about this place.
Thanks Hemanga, monsoons are always a blessing! Do look out for more information in the upcoming blogs 😀
