In the far east of the state are some of the nation’s most impressive national parks, including Tadoba-Andhari Tiger Reserve. The Maharashtra section of the Great Indian Trail follows the Western ghats through some amazing countryside vistas.

Trail Info
From Tilarinagar, a new trail begins as the MH section of the Trail heads north. Enjoy the stunning dirt tracks near Tapola, and further the trail crosses some backroads near Amby valley. It’s like a treasure hunt to find the three hidden waterfalls on this stretch. Post Lonavla, it makes it way to Nashik, which seems like the Nevada region of India.
