ReplyDeleteThanks Vaisakhi. There are places which even I could not visit, but tried to jot down the list for the benefit of others. Surely will try to visit if I ever visit to Mumbai again. :)
DeleteNice List of Picnic Spots. It will help to choose nice weekend. Matheran is my favourite place for weekends. Their pollution free climate make your mood fresh from daily routine. Check out matheran places to visit and more information at matheranonline.com.
