Welcome, 30-something
foodies who’d go miles
for a good bite.

There’s no greater welcome than your first glimpse of the emerald hills of
Khandala, the crown jewel of the Sahyadri hills.

Brace yourself for crisp mountain air, fragrant with freshly-brewed masala chai,
best served with a bite of crunchy locally-made chikki. Khandala has something
for every kind of visitor, and after a day of exploring, the best resort in Khandala,
Athiva Resort & Spa, offers the perfect retreat. Avid adventurers can hike the
surrounding mountains and explore the ancient caves of Karla and Bhaja, or take
in dramatic views at Echo Point. In the lush months, the hillsides come alive with
many waterfalls that you can choose to hike up to (and maybe even swim in!).

For the company, you’ll have playful monkeys and a variety of melodious birds who
inhabit the teak and mango forests. And if it’s a human company you seek, the
nearby bazaars and villages are filled with chatty locals who’ll welcome you in for
a chat.

Well, there’s one way to find out.
