Kalavatin Durg, Like a Disney Movie!

One look at Kalavatin Durg and you will realise it looks similar to the tower shown in the Disney movie 'The Tangled' where the witch hides Rapunzel!

Hence, Prabalgad Fort (Kalavatin Durg) meets all the odds to become one of the unique monsoon destinations in Maharashtra!

It seems, Bhima threw the demon Keechaka into the valley at this place! Well, a stroll around the mind-blowing viewpoints in Chikhaldara gives a feeling that it was not difficult for Bhima to kill the demon here! Interestingly, Chikhaldara is also the only coffee growing hill station in Maharashtra. Isn't it wonderful to sip on piping hot coffee while enjoying the monsoon delight?

Flowers, the Talk of Kaas Plateau

You don't have to go to Uttarakhand to enjoy the beauty of Valley of Flowers; Kaas Pathar can be called as a twin of the Valley of Flowers National Park! The wildflowers that bloom during the rainy season makes the region vibrant. The meadows and hilly slopes covered in the carpet of wildflowers will make your time memorable at Kaas Plateau in Satara.

Best time to visit Kaas Plateau is from August to October.

It looks like nature is dancing to the tunes of rainy music; so why don't you all do a rain dance in the lap of nature?
