Maharashtra Travel Guide
Maharashtra, a state where a millennium of culture weaves a tapestry of
myriad charms. The spiritual solace of centuries. The sylvan serenity of the
countryside. The stillness of a thicket disturbed only by a tiger flashing
past, or the symphony of tradition from its varied population. All abound in
a unique togetherness. In Maharashtra, a state as vivid as vivacious.
Maharashtra is one of the largest states in India, both in terms of
population and area. Its booming capital Mumbai, makes it not only one of
the most important states economically, but also a major gateway for
overseas visitors. The first well known rulers of Maharashtra were the
Satavahanas (230 BC to 225 AD), who were the creators of Maharashtra, and
have left a plethora of literary, epigraphic, artistic and archaeological
evidence. The Maharashtrians' love for art and culture is quite evident in
their intense interest in drama. Their approach to music and dance is rather
lusty. Mahasivaratri, Gokulashtami, Holi and Ganesh Chaturti are the main
festivals of this fun loving state.
No matter what kind of holiday you are looking for, you will find it here.
Whether it is lazing on the sun - swept sands of the 720 kms coastline, or a
peaceful self-exile in the awe-inspiring mountains, or quiet worship at some
famous shrines, or revelation in cave architecture, art and culture or
challenging treks or abundant wildlife thrills, Maharashtra has it all.

extensive network of flights from Mumbai's Sahar (international) and
