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.
Lohono Stays loves welcoming families and friends for a restful getaway. We have modern, fully serviced villas in Lonavala, Karjat and Alibaug where we can arrange a host of activities according to your interests. From picnics to yoga retreats, here are some unique monsoon experiences near Mumbai:
You step into an infinity pool overlooking the tranquil lakeside. Just as you rest your back against one of the sides, you look up, and it starts to drizzle. Close your eyes and float, while the cool breeze washes away all your worries of work or otherwise. This is no imagination. This is what you can experience when you book your monsoon getaway near Mumbai at Om Anantha in Lonavala. This infinity pool villa near Pawna Lake promises you a peaceful holiday.
If you are in the mood for some soul searching, healthy eating and rejuvenating retreats, you can book a monsoon yoga retreat with us. You can enjoy this unique monsoon experience near Mumbai at any of our villas in Karjat, Lonavala or Alibaug. Learn the basics of breathing and a healthy lifestyle from trained instructors. Do yoga by the poolside patios, take a calming walk in the lush green lawns and observe how it improves your day-to-day functioning.
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.
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.
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. Indulge in the best monsoon experiences near Mumbai with us.
