Good Service

Water Fall Paradise. Mhadei hosts a lot of waterfalls, a few of them are popular and a lot others are only known to locals. A couple of waterfalls have water throughout the year but not all. As a wildlife sanctuary too, it's a serene and calm place to visit but you may not always spot some exotic animal.

Good Service

Too Beautiful! Full of misty mountains and seasonal waterfalls/springs throughout the road. As the roads are well built and wide, one can easily stop by to enjoy the view. Chorla ghat is one of the best parts of the journey through the sanctuary.
