Maharashtra Province is best known for Mumbai, India"s economic capital which exemplifies all which is good and not so good about the country. Mumbai is one of India"s must see destinations, but the province of Maharashtra is packed with important temples, pilgrimage sites, and history.
Stand at the Gateway to India in Mumbai, revelling in the old grandeur, before walking through narrow back streets and experiencing countless authentic street snacks, like crispy samosas or mushroom pakora. India often divides, and in Mumbai the disparity between rich and poor reaches its pinnacle. But don"t be alarmed by this, it"s the city"s great draw card. Here you"ll meet people from all ends of India"s class system, each with a great story to tell. Stop and join the moustachioed men drink boiling chai (Indian tea) in tiny plastic glasses. Or drink beer in the country"s most famous bar, Leopalds. And if somebody asks “are you famous,” it"s probably an agent looking to recruit extras to appear in a Bollywood movie (they love to have foreigners in the background).
But there is much more to Maharashtra than Mumbai. Ancient caves, stunning hill stations, famous temples, and untouched beaches all await you.

Like a lot of India, roads in Maharashtra province are generally poor and overcrowded. Mumbai is famous for traffic coming to a standstill during rush hours. The packed roads make for some inventive driving, and you must have nerves of steel and a lot of aggression to negotiate the many lanes of traffic. Locals have been doing it for years and have the dents on the car to prove it. For this reason we recommend you hire a car with a private driver. It"s not expensive and allows you to sit back and enjoy the sites of the streets rather than get frustrated by the.

To start your tour with private transport in a rented vehicle with driver around Maharashtra to see the best of Maharashtra Province we usually recommend two types of tour. First check out everything on offer in the world"s 4th largest city, Mumbai. Then explore the rest of the province.
Mumbai is huge, home to 20 million people and covering the area of a small European country. Planning a guided tour of Mumbai is the best way to avoid the hassle and ensure you see all its different attractions. Other groups will like to explore the whole Maharashtra province and the breathtaking variety of attractions it has on offer.
Maharashtra is a huge province full of tourist attractions that often struggle to come out of Mumbai"s shadow. While most visitors to India see Mumbai, few make it out to see the diverse attractions the rest of the province has to offer. Most itineraries involve a loop along the western part of Maharashtra.
For example, first head north east to the quiet hill station of Bhandardara, where a serene lake is surrounded by green hills and colonial forts. With the solitude up here you won"t be believe you"re so close to the world"s 4th largest city. Then move further east to Aurangabad, a city with history dating back over 2000 years. The city impresses with its ancient stone gates and famous Mughal monuments that take you back to a much older version of India. Nearby you will find the ancient cave complexes of Ajanta and Ellora. These world heritage sites are full of stunning cave art and rock shrines that illustrate the mixed fortunes of the Buddist, Hindu, and Jain religions. It"s an awe inspiring glimpse into what life was like between 500 – 1000AD.
From here it"s a relatively long drive south to Pune, the region"s cultural capital, and centre of the 8 Ashtavinayak Temples. Pune is a large university town and you"ll be bombarded with young students looking to make friends and practice their English. They"ll teach you the difference between chapati and roti, Indian style bargaining, and the special powers of Hanuman the monkey God. This is India"s vibrant future, but you"re surrounded by the 8 Auspicious Temples of Lord Ganesha, so your tour can also explore the country"s spiritual past. There is few more powerful experiences that witnessing a group of locals on pilgrimage at these temples.
