Unique Monsoon Experiences Near Mumbai

When the rains arrive, the trekkers come out to play. Monsoon treks are a classic activity for adrenaline lovers, but not everyone dreams of steep climbs for the best views. For some, the simple joy of lounging in a pool while it drizzles, surrounded by greenery, is just as rejuvenating. If you prefer a slower pace on a weekend outing, we’ve rounded up some truly unique monsoon experiences near Mumbai that offer all the magic of the season without the muddy boots.

You can start planning your monsoon getaway as we bring you some fun, non-adventure activities that you can enjoy at our beautiful villas near Mumbai.

Enjoy Riverside Picnics in Karjat

Picnics are only for summer? Says who? This monsoon, treat your little ones to a cosy riverside picnic in Karjat. With light rain, gushing streams, and plenty of space to run around, it’s one of the most refreshing and unique monsoon experiences near Mumbai for the whole family. Villa Athini is a lovely 4BHK home in Karjat, located by a flowing river. It also has lunch setups under a canopy by the riverside. The same area can be utilised for your little picnic. Our chefs can help you with sandwiches and juices for the day. 

Indulge in Farm-Fresh Meals in Karjat

If you love seasonal veggies, monsoon is the perfect time to indulge in different local flavours. And what better way to do it than with a stay at Maharajah House, our villa in Karjat, where hearty, farm-fresh meals are always on the table. With most ingredients growing on a farm nearby, you can relish the best preparations here for breakfast and meals. The food here has been a talking point for all our past guests. 

Go Tidepooling in Alibaug

One of the most unique monsoon experiences near Mumbai is tidepooling by the shores. This activity, however, should be done during receding rains when the tides are getting calmer. Watch hermit crabs, barnacles, starfish and sea slugs in the tide ponds around the rocks. A nature/marine enthusiast can fully enjoy this fun activity. Mid-September, if you book our villas near the beach in Alibaug, we can arrange for tidepooling activity. 

So, you can skip the usual treks and still appreciate the best of the season. Wake up to the sounds of the gushing river, match laps with the raindrops, or take a deep breath and be grateful for enjoying a lovely vacation with loved ones by your side.
