Maharashtra Village Tour Packages

TOUR OVERVIEW

Situated in the western region of India, Maharashtra means the ‘Great nation’ and it ranks 3rd in India – both area wise and population wise. This large state is blessed with a rather long coastal area along its western border in the form of Arabian Sea and it is bestowed with the Western Ghat Mountains. Mumbai, the capital of Maharashtra is the financial capital of the Country. With the cities in Maharashtra having grown in leaps and bounds in terms of technology, infrastructure, etc. the villages of Maharashtra still retain their rustiness. The Villages in Maharashtra are numbered more than 43,000 and each one has its own specialties, own tribes, customs, and traditions. We at Sushant Travels, bring to you our special Maharashtra Tour Packages which take you along the small and rustic villages of Maharashtra so that you get to step away from the robotic and pollution filled city life and breathe some air of relief. The beauty of these villages is the unspoilt and serene natural landscapes, the dense forests, numerous ghats, the free-flowing rivers, and more than anything, the warmth that the villagers have for any and everyone. The 9 yards clad women will give you the feeling of being loved like a child, the fields and forests of these villages will call out to you to explore, and the sweet Mangoes and guavas and jackfruits and chikoos, will leave you wanting for more so that our Maharashtra Village Tour Package will be that one experience you won’t want to miss.
