Set within a UNESCO World Heritage site, it lies in one of the world’s richest biodiversity hotspots, where dedicated conservation work over the past 25 years has revived more than a million trees and transformed former farmland into a thriving forest ecosystem. Local activities include guided walks to the Shillim plateau and treks through Shillim forest.
Transfers from Mumbai are straightforward (around two-and-a-half to three hours). Pune is an alternative option, about two hours away.
