Athiva Resort & Spa
Khandala
Location
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. 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 company, you’ll have playful monkeys and a variety of melodious birds who
inhabit the teak and mango forests. And if it’s 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.
