Khopoliखोपोली
Spend a half‑day exploring the waterfalls and riverfront; stay one night at a farmstay if you want nature, otherwise a day‑trip from Mumbai or Lonavla.
Khopoli is a small industrial town in Raigad, Maharashtra, at the foothills of the Sahyadri range. Its main draw is the seasonal waterfalls and the Patalganga River. It is reachable by train or NH4, making it a convenient side‑trip from Mumbai, Pune or Lonavla. One night suffices to see the falls and enjoy a farmstay; otherwise a few hours are enough for a quick visit.
