There  are  very  few  people  who  actually  dare  to  venture  out  in  the  rains.  The  ones  who  do  go  out  can  really  chill  out  and  enjoy  the  heavy  monsoons.  Lonavala  is  one  place  which  is  meant  to  be  visited  during  the  rainy  season.  Just  a  few  hours  drive  from  Mumbai  &  Pune,  it  has  all  one  can  ask  for  Â–  forts,  lakes,  dams,  lush  green  scenery,  small  waterfalls  and  springs.  The  climate  is  chilly  but  not  very  cold  so  that  one  does  not  need  a  sweater.  Adults  and  children  can  enjoy  themselves  in  the  beautiful  Tungarli  Lake  in  Lonavala.  The  breathtaking  scenery  dotted  with  caves  and  the  drops  of  water  trickling  down  the  leaves  makes  this  a  perfect  place  for  trekkers.  

Another  beautiful  place  which  can  be  visited  in  the  rains  is  Bhimashankar.  It  is  one  of  the  twelve  Jyotirlingas,  is  famous  because  of  the  temple  dedicated  to  Lord  Shiva.  The  dense  forests  surrounding  the  high  ranges  also  play  an  abode  to  the  rare  species  of  flora  and  fauna.  Situated  at  the  extreme  end  of  the  Sahayadri  Ranges,  this  place  gives  a  wonderful  view  of  the  forts,  the  rivers  and  the  hill  stations  around.  

Panhala  which  was  once  the  stronghold  of  Shivaji  the  Great  is  also  visited  by  a  lot  of  people.  This  is  hardly  an  hourÂ’s  drive  from  Kolhapur.  This  hill  station  has  temples,  majestic  forts  and  beautiful  sceneries.  Trekking  through  the  quaint  alleys  in  the  rains  is  an  experience  to  cherish.  The  people  here  are  very  courteous  and  helpful.  The  small  streams  and  springs  from  which  water  gushes  out  in  the  rains  and  the  pathways  surmounted  by  caves  and  mountains  on  both  sides  makes  this  place  very  alluring.  Kolhapur  is  famous  mainly  for  the  Matalakshmi  Temple  and  is  venerated  and  visited  by  devotees  from  around  the  world.  

Chikaldhara  is  another  lovely  destination  which  can  be  visited  during  the  rains.  It  offers  a  plethora  of  choices  to  visit  like  lakes,  waterfalls,  view  points  and  also  flora  and  fauna.  Chikhaldara  is  full  of  deep  valleys,  and  these  valleys  are  full  of  velvet  mist  and  majestic  trees.  All  this  makes  it  a  very  popular  summer  retreat.  With  abundance  of  natural  scenery,  exciting  wildlife,  breathtaking  waterfalls  and  a  placid  lake,  the  beauty  of  Chikhaldara  is  overwhelming.  The  climate  is  always  breezy  and  walking  on  the  clouds  often  becomes  a  reality.
