Top Nature Spots in Maharashtra

If you're planning to drive, make sure to use parking apps to find the best spot—trust me, parking can be a nightmare otherwise!

I suggest bringing some cash, as not all stalls take cards. Plus, the local vendors are more willing to haggle when you're paying in cash!

My advice is to go in the early morning or around sunset. The vibe is so much cooler and perfect for pics without the big crowd around

From my experience, wear flip-flops or sandals, the sand can get super hot, especially around noon. Trust me, your feet will thank you!

I suggest you pack some snacks! While there are food stalls, they can be limited and relatively pricey compared to what you can bring along.

Check the local bus schedules if you're using public transport. They can be a bit unpredictable, so having a backup plan can save you a lot of time.

Definitely try to visit during the morning, around 8 AM. The park is way less crowded, and you can enjoy the peace and quiet while spotting wildlife.

If you're planning to hike to the Kanheri Caves, wear comfy shoes and carry water. It can get pretty steamy, and you'll want to stay hydrated.

Definitely try the local street food! I recommend the pav bhaji and bhel puri, but be ready for some spicy surprises. Just watch for food stalls with a good crowd – they’re usually safer.

The beach can get pretty crowded, especially on weekends. I suggest visiting on a weekday if you want to chill and enjoy the vibe more peacefully.

If you can, hit up Juhu Chowpatty in the evening around 5 PM. The sunset views are totally worth it, and you'll avoid the crazy midday heat.

Check out the local stalls for beachwear or souvenirs – I found some cute items at much lower prices than in tourist shops.

If you’re hungry, try the street food stalls near the beach. The pav bhaji and bhel puri are delicious and really affordable. Don’t miss out!

My advice is to wear comfy shoes. You’ll end up walking more than you think, especially if you want to see all corners of the park!

Pack some snacks or a picnic. There aren’t many food stalls inside, and it’s nice to chill on the grass with some homemade treats when you're exploring!

If you're into photography, golden hour is magical here. Sunrise or sunset (around 6:30 PM) gives you the perfect lighting for those Insta shots.

I recommend checking the tides before your trip. The sand stretches beautifully at low tide, but during high tide, it gets quite small, so plan your visit accordingly.

Bring your own snacks and drinks. I thought I could buy stuff at the beach, but the prices were higher than expected. Pack a cooler to save some cash.

I suggest visiting Kashid Beach during weekdays. It was super chill compared to the crowds on weekends, and you can snag a nice spot on the sand without fighting for space.

Wear comfortable shoes; the paths can be uneven, and you'll want to stroll around without worrying about blisters.

Bring a good camera or your phone, but also make sure to enjoy the scenery and not just focus on taking pictures. Some spots are Instagram-worthy!

Pack some snacks and water. While there are vendors nearby, prices can be higher than expected, and having your own stuff saves you money.
