Also, the sites we talk about in this blog aren't too far from the city, so you can take a safe road trip from Mumbai with your family and friends instead of taking a train or a plane. Read on to find out more

1. Jawhar

Jawhar is a small town in the Western Ghats. It is a great place to escape nature and learn about ancient culture. The Warli people live in this beautiful place. They are known for their Warli paintings. You can also visit the historical Jaivilas Palace, a mix of Indian and Neoclassical styles. Jawhar is in the hills, so many hiking trails, views, and waterfalls are in and around the town.

2. Tamhini Ghat

If you want to go on a bike trip from Mumbai, Tamhini Ghat is a great place to go. It is primarily a road that winds through the Western Ghats. Along the way, you will see several waterfalls, dam reservoirs, valleys, and a lot of greenery. All along, the clouds have been right in front of you! Tamhini Ghat is also one of the best places for couples to visit near Mumbai because of its warm weather and romantic atmosphere.

3. Bhandardara

Bhandardara is the place to go if you want to find waterfalls near Mumbai that will cool you off. In the middle of tall mountains, you can spend as much time as you want on the shores of lakes and in green pastures, listening to the water gushing from high peaks. Another good idea is to hike through the jungle full of plants and animals. When you get tired, go to a lake and splash your face with cool water.

4. Shrivardhan, Divegar, and Harihareshwar

Many people are on the beaches in and around Mumbai, including Alibaug. In this case, you should go to the area between Shrivardhan, Diveagar, and Harihareshwar, which has three beaches, to see the peaceful Konkan coast at its best. Dolphins and turtles, as well as beautiful beaches, lush palms, and a deep blue sea, are some of the things you can see on the beaches.


5.Morachi Chincholi is a place that nobody knows about. It is about 60 km from Pune. Morachi Chincholi is a small eco-village that is close to Mumbai and has something like a peacock sanctuary. It is an excellent place for a one-day trip. It's the perfect place to find peace because so few people know about it. You can see the national bird of India here, as well as babblers, robins, woodpeckers, and parakeets.

6. Sandhan Valley.

Sandhan Valley, also called the Valley of Shadows, is an excellent place for adventure near Mumbai because you can hike, climb rocks, rappel, and cross rivers all in one spot! The best part of this unusual weekend trip from Mumbai is the narrow hiking path, surrounded on both sides by high cliffs. Since there isn't much sunlight reaching the surface, there are always shadows. This is where the name comes from.

7. Purushwadi

Purushwadi is a great place to go on a picnic near Mumbai. You can see stars on earth there. This tiny village at the edge of the Western Ghats is known for how many fireflies gather there to mate, so don't forget to bring your camera. Besides seeing this fantastic show, you can hike in the area, enjoy the slow pace of village life, and do several other fun things.

8. Velas

Velas is a small town on the coast of Maharashtra that is just across the mouth of the Savitri River from Harihareshwar. Velas is different from most other places to visit near Mumbai because it is best known for its turtle festival. Olive Ridley sea turtles come ashore from the Arabian Sea to lay eggs, which they bury in the sand before returning to the sea. During hatching season, when baby turtles come out of their eggs and run to the water, the Turtle Festival is held.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
