Only a traveller who has traversed the beautiful state of Maharashtra after the monsoons knows truly how beautiful the landscape becomes. In the dry and hot summers the entire vegetation across the plains and hills of Maharashtra dries up and in cases even prompt forest fires. The monsoons provide a welcome break from the harsh summers and this is reflected in the lush greenery of the surroundings. New leaves rise above the wet earth and create the most mesmerising of sights. That of lush beauty.
The moss and grass cover of the hills beckon travellers from across the world to explore Maharashtra after the rains. But what makes the region even more exciting is the number of waterfalls that come into existence. If you choose to travel by road, you might be tempted to stop every few hundred meters to enjoy a new waterfall. Sparkling and gurgling, they fall from steep hights or softly roll of large rocks and provide awe-inspiring sights. Some of these waterfalls are popular picnic spots, while certain others are secrets only the mountains know. Here is a picturesque guide to the amazing waterfalls of Maharashtra.
