Mahabaleshwar & Kaas Plateau

Overview

The Mahabaleshwar & Kaas Plateau from Mumbai trip is a 2-day escape to Maharashtra's most popular hill station — and for good reason. Just 5 hours from the city, Mahabaleshwar is perched at 1,350 metres in the Western Ghats, offering sweeping valley views, strawberry farms, ancient temples, and the legendary Table Land that inspired Arthur Conan Doyle's Lost World.

This 2-day trip covers all the highlights — Arthur's Seat, Wilson Point sunrise, Mapro Garden, and a visit to the stunning Kaas Plateau (a UNESCO World Heritage Site), which blooms with over 850 species of wildflowers during the monsoon and post-monsoon season.

We travel by private vehicle or bus from Mumbai — no train needed, making this one of the most accessible getaways on the list.

Kaas Plateau, lying about 25 km from Mahabaleshwar, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that turns into a rolling carpet of wildflowers during its brief flowering season from August to October, a phenomenon unique to the Western Ghats. Mahabaleshwar itself is one of the highest hill stations in the range, known for viewpoints like Arthur's Seat and Wilson Point, its strawberry farms and boating on Venna Lake. Its cool climate has made it a favourite retreat since the British era, and the drive up winds through forests and valleys often wrapped in mist during the monsoon.

This 2-day Mahabaleshwar & Kaas Plateau from Mumbai trip is priced at ₹4499 and includes one night of hotel stay, breakfast daily, a private vehicle for sightseeing, and Kaas Plateau entry when the season is open. Lunch and dinner, transport to and from Mumbai, and boating charges are not included. It is an easy, relaxed itinerary with minimal walking, suitable for families, couples and older travellers, with departures scheduled in August and September.

Based in Maharashtra, this easy 2-day trek is best attempted during June, July, August, September, October, November, December — when the trail and surroundings are at their most rewarding.
