Above list of hill stations in Maharashtra is not the complete list. There are many other hill stations in Maharashtra which are less known but offers an amazing experience. Maharashtra is blessed with a wonderful nature. The Sahyadri Range is Maharashtra’s physical backbone and most of the Maharashtra hill stations are located in the Sahyadri Range of Western Ghat. At many places, the foothill of Western Ghats approaches the seashore and be evidence for the natural combination of hill stations and beaches of Maharashtra.



The British discovered most of the popular and famous hill stations in Maharastra, during their colonial rule. They found lush green landscapes a cool invitation during the scorching summer months. Although their rule ended several decades ago, the beauty and the glory of Maharashtra hill stations, continue to flourish. The Western Ghats, which form a part of it’s Sahyadri range, offers numerous beautiful hill stations.

With flora and fauna nourishing all over hill stations in Maharastra, it would make even the manliest of men go “awww”! For those of you just married couples, Matheran is the perfect destination to spend time in, with the vintage train chugging and the dark cloud coming out of the chimney in a picturesque location, just like the Indian cinema.

By the way, hope you love wildlife, because hill stations in Maharashtra are blessed with panthers, bears, tigers, wild dogs. We all love coastal regions, except for the oily faces it gives us, but again, it is fun at 690m when you enjoy the breathtaking views of Mother Nature.

I could go on about how awesome Maharashtra is, but I guess you have already started packing your bags, so no point in wasting my time or yours’.

    Most of the hill stations in Maharashtra are situated in Sahyadri mountain ranges. Some of these hill stations are at very remote locations in the heart of jungle. You have covered famous hill stations. However there are many such hill stations in Maharashtra state which are beautiful and not explored by tourists. Such hill stations are famous in the local area only. You should try to cover these locations too.

    For me Matheran is the best hill station in Maharashtra. As a Mumbaikar it is our preferred hill station. Its natural beauty always attracts tourists in monsoon and winter season.

    I have visited Konkan in this vacation with my family and found many unexplored hills. These hill stations are so beautiful that you would lost yourself in its beauty. Maharashtra government should take some efforts and develop some of these hill stations into tourist places.

    The state of Maharashtra has always been fascinating for hill lovers. Monsoon in Maharashtra is one of the most preferable time to visit beautiful hill stations like Lonavala, Mahabaleshwar, etc.
    I urge traveler enthusiasts in India to explore tourist places in Maharashtra to seek once in a lifetime experience.
