Igatpuri
Spend 1–2 days for trekking, waterfalls and forts; arrive early morning by train, stay overnight in a resort.
Igatpuri is a hill‑station in the Western Ghats, 20 km from Kasara, 45 km from Nashik and 130 km from Mumbai. Its main draw is trekking, waterfalls and historic forts. One full day covers the popular trails; a second night lets you relax at a resort and catch sunrise over the hills.
