Overview hotel

Dharana at Shillim, nestled in Maharashtra’s Sahyadri Mountain range, spans 2,500 acres of pristine wilderness—an ideal retreat for tranquility and stillness. Located within a UNESCO World Heritage site, it is one of the world’s top biodiversity hotspots. Dedicated conservation efforts over the past 25 years have restored the land, reviving over a million trees and transforming former agricultural terrain into a thriving ecosystem.

For exploring the scenic surroundings, bicycles are available for hire.

When to go

Air is cool and crisp from November to February; temperature goes up from March to May; monsoon typically starts in late June until September with July and August being the wettest months.
