Monsoons have arrived and it is time to brush up the good old days! So scroll down to know about places around Mumbai that will give you a rush of childhood nostalgia.

“I don’t want to go to school/work because it’s raining.”
“I absolutely don’t want to say a no to a cup of hot chai because it’s raining!”
Was that you? Or is that still you on a serious rainy day? The views from Khandala and Lavasa are breathtaking and trust us, you will not want to move from your window until the sun goes down or may be not even then.

Remember how fun getting drenched in the rain or making a sand castle on a beach was? How about going down memory lane with beachfront places in Murud and Korlai? Let the crashing sea waves relax you from all the stress a grown up life brought with it!

03. Gholvad, Maharashtra
