Why this journey works
Monsoon turns the plateau green and fills the waterfalls, but rain and fog change the day hour by hour. This version builds around the resort and adds waterfalls and viewpoints only when the weather allows.
Day by day.
Day 01 A careful drive up
- Morning
- The drive from Pune or Mumbai, with extra time for the ghat in the rain.
- Afternoon
- Check-in and a rest.
- Evening
- An evening at the resort.
Memorable noteMonsoon roads need a live check before you set off.
Day 02 Waterfalls if the rain allows
- Morning
- Waterfalls, if the rain eases and access is safe.
- Afternoon
- Back to the resort; the spa or a quiet afternoon.
- Evening
- A free evening.
Memorable noteMist and rain can hide the views, so there is always an indoor plan.
Day 03 Home in daylight
- Morning
- A viewpoint if it clears, or a slow morning.
- Afternoon
- The drive home in daylight.
Memorable noteWe avoid driving the ghat after dark in heavy rain.
