24/28 states 🇮🇳 19 Countries 🌍 Collecting stories from places you've not heard of. Sometimes I write about them.
  • Bye bye zee 5 it was NOT nice knowing you. Hope you're in better shape for the next World Cup!
  • Malsej Ghat gets all the attention, but 150 km from Mumbai lies another monsoon escape that's just as rewarding.

Welcome to Dabhosa Waterfalls, one of the most spectacular waterfalls near Mumbai and an easy monsoon road trip through the lush Maharashtra countryside. The drive itself is half the experience, with winding roads, emerald green fields, forested hills and villages that come alive during the rains.

If you're looking for a weekend getaway from Mumbai or the perfect monsoon drive in Maharashtra, this is one to add to your list.

Would you take this road trip?

  • This is Khao nom krok, one of the most popular street snacks in Laos 🇱🇦 in Southeast Asia. The moment I saw it, I couldn't help but think of paniyaram.

Both are cooked in the same kind of mould, both have that perfectly round shape with a crisp outside and soft centre, and both are best eaten hot off the pan.

But that's where the similarities end. Paniyaram is usually made with fermented rice🌾 and lentil batter and is mostly savoury. Khao nom krok is made with rice flour and coconut milk🥥, so it's creamy, slightly sweet, and almost custard-like inside.

Travel has a funny way of making the unfamiliar feel familiar.
  • Malsej Ghat during monsoons? Sure. But have you visited Dabhosa Waterfalls? At 150km, it's comfortably a day trip from Mumbai, and the perfect time to visit during the monsoons.
  • What a motherfucking challenging year. But six months still left✌️💪
  • Not every rain needs a trek. ☔🌊

If you're looking for a Mumbai monsoon getaway, skip the usual waterfall trail and head to Manori Beach instead. Close to Mumbai, quieter in the rains, and every bit as beautiful.

We drove down via Mira Bhayandar Road, but you can also take the ferry from Marve, Malad. Either way, it's one of the easiest weekend getaways from Mumbai.
  • Same time last year. Monsoon Goa road trip hits differently🏝️ 

Road trip or just fly 🙈
  • If you live in Mumbai, your next weekend getaway is closer than you think. We travelled just 45 minutes to get here, and the views were as good as Alibagh. 

Location: Aksa Beach, Malad.

  • How a small vado in Goa celebrates São João.

Not the massy, Goa tourism-sponsored São João festivities that have come to define Siolim in North Goa. But a small neighbourhood within Siolim village, where ancestral chapel traditions are still held dear and the feast remains a community affair rather than a spectacle.
