Not every weekend needs a 4-hour drive out of the city. Whether you've got a free Sunday morning or a full weekend to spare, there's a trek close enough to make it happen — waterfall hikes for the monsoon, easy trails if you're just starting out, night treks if you'd rather beat the heat, and overnight camps if you want to actually disconnect for a bit.
Below is every trek we run near Mumbai and Pune, so you can pick one based on how much time you've actually got — not just what's popular this week.
Waterfalls Trek
f waterfalls are what you're after, monsoon is your window — the hills around Karjat, Bhira, and Malshej Ghat come alive with cascades from June through September, and treks like these pair a scenic hike with a proper waterfall payoff at the end. New to trekking? Start with something graded easy — a shorter climb, a well-marked trail, and a pace that doesn't demand any prior experience. Every trek on this page runs with pickup options from both Mumbai and Pune, so wherever you're starting from, there's a batch that works for you.
