Vihaanga Journeys was founded with a clear vision—to present India in its most authentic, comfortable, and meaningful way for global travelers.
Maharashtra, the land of Maratha grandeur, is a vast dynamic state where financial powerhouses sit alongside ancient rock-cut marvels and mist-shrouded hill stations. At its edge sits Mumbai, a fast-paced metropolis famous for Victorian architecture and colonial monuments like the Gateway of India. Travel inland to unlock the magnificent UNESCO World Heritage Ajanta and Ellora Caves, cut entirely by hand out of mountain basalt. From the green valleys of Mahabaleshwar to the astronomical enigma of Lonar Crater Lake, Maharashtra offers an epic saga of history, wilderness, and urban energy.
Plan your trip from October to March when the climate is cool and pleasant across the state, ideal for heritage cave exploration and coastal city sightseeing.
Explore Ajanta and Ellora Caves, Mumbai\'s historic structures, the hill station panoramas of Mahabaleshwar, and the sacred temples of Shirdi.
Stay in luxury sea-facing colonial-style hotels in South Mumbai, boutique mist-valley villas in Mahabaleshwar, and reliable luxury stays in Aurangabad.
Savor world-famous Mumbai street food, experience local hand-crushed strawberry harvests, and dive into centuries-old Maratha fort folklore.
