Maharashtra

Maharashtra or the ‘great nation’ is indeed one of the greatest states of India. Not only is it a State larger in area and population than most countries of the world, but it is also one of the most industrially and commercially developed areas of India. Apart from culture and history, Maharashtra offers a traveler idyllic bliss in a land blessed by nature. Quiet and beautiful hill stations nestling in the bosoms of rugged peaks, secluded palm-shaded golden beaches lapped by the blue waters of the Arabian Sea, rushing rivers offering sport and recreation, placid lakes and warm springs that are balms that soothe and dense monsoon forests where bird and game never fail patient animal lover...these are all part of a land created, as it were, only for a relaxing holiday.
