Toranmal
Toranmal is a quiet hill station for one night: cool air, a lake and a valley walk. Not a destination on its own — combine with Dhule or Nandurbar.
Toranmal is the only hill station in North Maharashtra, sitting at 1,036 m in the Satpuda range. Its appeal is a single day of lake views, a short valley hike and temple visits. Most travellers use it as a stopover between Dhule and the Gujarat border, not a base.
