Karjat: A Nature Lover’s Delight!

Submitted by

Located approx 100 km from Mumbai, Karjat is a peaceful retreat for everyone who wants to get away from the daily madness of urban life. Karjat lies on the banks of river Ulhas with Sahyadri, Western Ghats surrounding this district.

There are several farm houses and hotels here. In fact when I first went to Karjat 2-3 years ago, there were only a few hotels, but since then there has been a major surge and development in this small district. The clean environment, scenic landscape and isolation it provides, has made Karjat our favorite weekend getaway.

We’ve always discovered something different and new on our every visit. Be it plants, trees, birds or flowers, Karjat is a nature lover’s delight.A Massive Indian Frog
