Recommendations
  • Top Monsoon Getaways in Maharashtra"Chikhaldhara (2000+ ft asl) is a Hillside getaway ex-Aurangabad / Nagpur / Indore. Chikhaldhara comes alive in monsoon when mist engulfs the area. Driving around with lush green backdrop, mist and waterfall in monsoon is an experience that getaway seekers arrive for. "
  • Ex-Nagpur Wildlife and Bird watching Destinations"Chikhaldhara (230 kms from Nagpur) is base point to visit Melghat Tiger Reserve which is a prime bird watching site in Winter. 250+ species have been recorded in Melghat including Forest Owlet (rare and endangered), Sulphur-bellied Warbler (rare) and White-naped Woodpecker (rare). Chikhaldhara is not a fancy place with any premium hotels and therefore best recommended for only avid bird watchers."
