Why Mahabaleshwar Tops the Best Places to Visit in September

Mahabaleshwar undergoes the cinematic transformation of the late monsoon season. Average temperatures average 17°C and 25°C and for these reasons, September has cool, pleasant weather that is conducive to exploration. With the fresh and rain-washed air mixed with the smell of wet earth there is a romantic, yet invigorating, quality to going outside.

Mahabaleshwar during monsoon means touching the place and exploring the various sites with the least disturbances from crowds-like in the winter peaks. Then, you're free to view and enjoy the attractions minus the often long waits for entry or interminable lines of people blocking scenic views from your camera.

The famed viewpoints, such as Arthur's Seat, Wilson Point, and Elephant's Head, are even more appealing in September, often enveloped in swirling mists that disappear and evade into the undulating artwork of nature within seconds. Lingmala and Dhobi Falls continue to cascade beautifully, presenting the sight of nature's power and magnificence.

Mahabaleshwar, in the monsoon, is uniquely a combination of romance, tranquillity, and adventure, for a couple wanting to get away, a family wanting a laid back vacation, or a lone traveler wanting solitud
