I absolutely love escaping to Lonavala whenever I need a break from the chaos of Mumbai. There’s something so calming about the lush greenery, the fresh air, and those beautiful misty hills, it instantly lifts my mood. Whether it’s a quiet picnic or just sitting and soaking in the view, Lonavala feels like a peaceful reset button for me. It’s simple, soulful, and always exactly what I need.

For me, Sanjay Gandhi National Park is like a peaceful break from the busy city life. Whenever I want to relax, I go there and enjoy the greenery and fresh air. It feels very calm and quiet, which is rare in Mumbai. It’s a place where I can slow down and feel close to nature. That’s why it is so special to me.

Karjat is my happy little escape whenever Mumbai feels too busy. I just love how fresh and green everything is there the hills, the fresh air, and that peaceful vibe. Honestly, I can just sit there, do nothing, and still feel so happy and relaxed. It always lifts my mood, and that’s what makes it so special for me.

Places like Lonavala, Khandala, Karjat and even Alibaug are perfect weekend getaways. I often just hop on my bike and head out for a ride, turning it into a quick escape. We usually make a rough plan of spots to explore, soak in nature, unwind, and then return refreshed to the city’s fast pace. These places have become regular retreats for me.

I am quite fortunate that the set of my show in in Royal Palms and I have to go through Aarrey colony road to get there. It has an amazing landscape which has trees on both sides of the road, making it look like a tree tunnel. Going on that road every day for work reminds me of the power of God and the beauty in it. And for me, a getaway is wherever I’m with my family. It can even be a staycation, but it’s being with them and having uninterrupted quality time that makes it a getaway.
