Going Ga-Ga Over Green

Lonavala
Famous for its chikkis, gorgeous waterfalls and cascading mountains, Lonavala is the green zone everyone wishes to visit after a hot and taxing busy week in Mumbai. While trekking is a good way to get around in this hilly locale, having a vehicle (even a bicycle) is a better bet; as there are places of interest that might require you to go a fair distance.
Another attraction-Khandala lies just 5 km apart from Lonavala on the western slopes of the Sahyadris, straddling the Mumbai-Pune highway at an altitude of 625 m. Karla is 8 km. from Lonavala.

Shoghi
Nestled in the quaint, lush, green hills of Himachal Pradesh just 13 kilometers short of Shimla, captivating building blocks of pinks and yellows with sloping tin roofs add a touch of natural grandeur to the picturesque surroundings. Yes we are talking about this cosy little hamlet called Shoghi.
Shoghi is a treat for all those who love to enjoy nature in all its glory. From nature walks to mountain treks, every view in this virgin territory is designed to awe you. So if green is your calling, its time to head to Shoghi.
