"Nature`s Unrehearsed Opera"
Nature’s extraordinary strawberry manufacturing farm, Mahabaleshwar is Maharashtra’s pride nestled at 4500ft from the sea level in the Western Ghats. Made from fabrics of rugged hills, impenetrable forests, and steep gorges, Mahabaleshwar is nature’s unrehearsed opera to which the waterfalls and rivers provide its music. The best definition to this height sums as a refreshing summer capital to the Mumbaikars, for here the lot is those of college-goers, lovelorn honeymooners and families at weekend breaks from Mumbai, Pune, Kolhapur, and Solapur. And its location near the Mumbai ? the film capital of India ? brings in a lot of filmy tales spun around each of its favorite points. Yesteryear’s blockbusters Omkara and Swades were shot here in Mahabaleshwar making it a thrust among the tourists.
