It is quite interesting to see that a scurry and crowded city like Mumbai can be surrounded with such corners of natural beauty as well. Located on the outskirts of Mumbai city and in Raigad district, the Kharghar hills are quite famous with the trekkers and walkers. It is a lush green set of hillocks with the residential and commercial segments of Navi Mumbai peeping in between. In monsoons, this hillock becomes extremely picturesque as it gets enveloped in lush green vegetation. It is a haven for adventure, nature and bird lovers and a good early morning picnic spot. While you are trekking through it, you will also come across some villages. And as you reach at the top, you will be able to enjoy sweeping views of the city and beyond. You will also find small rivulets gushing down water from the stone peaks along the way.
