Maharashtra Tourism Development Corporation (MTDC)

Maharashtra Tourism Development Corporation (MTDC) has since its inception, been involved in the development and maintenance of the various tourist locations of Maharashtra. MTDC owns and maintains resorts at all key tourist centres and has more resorts planned.

Maharashtra is a tourist’s delight because the sheer quantum and variety it offers are virtually unmatched. From heritage structures and religious monuments to the natural beauty of caves, forts, wildlife preserves and hill stations, a vast coastline and themed tours like the Deccan Odyssey, the message is clear - get ready to be spoilt for choice! Plus, most tourist spots have multiple offerings; most forts or hill stations will have a religious significance too.

Maharashtra’s 720 km long affair with the Arabian Sea extends from Dahanu and Bordi in the north up to Goa proceeding southwards. If you’ve got a penchant for sand, sea and surf, this state has a great many interesting options in store.

Any place you choose is conveniently linked to Mumbai, which makes it a good starting point. All these places are well connected by state buses. The coastal climate of Maharashtra makes travelling pleasant all round the year. Discover the real Maharashtra while you soak up the sun on soft sands or explore intriguing sights.

The geography of Maharashtra shows evidence of a divine hand. Running north to south, throughout its length are the steeply rising Western Ghats. The foothills sometimes approaching the seashore and sometimes withdrawing 40 or 50 kilometres away seem to be playing an eternal game with the Arabian Sea.

Nestling shyly in these mountains, some at an altitude of 2000 metres are the hill stations of Maharashtra. These towns offer clean, calm and a thoroughly refreshing alternative to city life. They are probably the only places in India where you can observe the fall of the land all the way to the shimmering sea.

Mumbai, India’s commercial capital, and easily the most accessible city in this country, is the perfect gateway to Maharashtra’s hill country, with convenient and comfortable links by road, rail, and air.

We are sure that Maharashtra’s sheer size and diversity will stun you. Here is a glimpse into this vibrant and beautiful land, the wide variety of options available for tourists and facilities provided. Go ahead and explore it to your heart’s content.

Online booking at MTDC resorts is available or you can also book at Mumbai and other MTDC Reservation Offices.
