Hotel Ashwin
A hill station of misted peaks, silver lakes and ancient forts. From the resort's gates, the whole of the Sahyadri opens up — here are the journeys worth taking.
Set at 2,158 ft on National Highway 3, Hotel Ashwin is your basecamp for Igatpuri — Maharashtra’s lush monsoon heartland, just 1 km from the railway station and two hours from Mumbai.
Trek to the state’s highest peak, drift past waterfalls in the rains, sit in stillness at a world-famous meditation academy, or simply watch the mist roll over the valley from a quiet viewpoint.
