Maharashtra, located on India’s western coast, is a land where powerful history, diverse landscapes, and modern life blend seamlessly. From the legacy of the Maratha Empire and ancient rock-cut caves to the energy of Mumbai and the calm of the Konkan coastline, the state offers countless travel experiences. My journeys through Maharashtra have been a mix of heritage trails, long road trips, coastal drives, and spiritual visits.
