Duke's Retreat

A Kilometre below you lie the Western Ghats spread out likes a table beneath your feet. Mountains and ridges are now only ripples across a landscape dissected by the Mumbai-Pune highway. Warm thermals rustle in the Canopy and you feel like a birds, except for those butterflies in your stomach. Paragliding at Kamshet near Lonavala is just the thing for a long weekend. Base yourself at the Duke’s Retreat, the most popular hotel in the area-so do book well in advance. Picturesquely Located, it offers you all the comforts and luxury that you can desire. And gives you views of the Sahyadri Hills and the valley. There are thickly wooded parks around for picnics in between paragliding, and the facilities include ayurvedic massages to help you unwind and relax sore muscles.
