Life in Mumbai is cruel and unforgiving. I know it because I was born here and I know how complicated things can become with time. The elite class of Mumbai always have better destinations and places in Mumbai where they can hangout and spend money to relax and spend good time with their friends and family, but what about the middle class population like me that contributes a large portion of the city’s population. People like me who work 9 to 5 and travel in suburban local trains that can squeeze out every ounce of your life need some weekend getaways from Mumbai. These destinations and places around Mumbai can offer a day to unwind and feel better and spend some quality time with family and friends so that we can recharge ourselves and add some memorable and valuable moments in life that we can cherish for lifetime, before we get lost in the hard competitive race of life. Below I have focused on five top and best weekend getaways from Mumbai that never really get the kind of popularity they deserve. Something offbeat.

Kerala has always remained among the top tourism destinations in India where couples and families spend quality time that they can hardly find when they are busy in their urban life. In fact, I would certainly recommend people to visit Kerala more than visiting the Taj Mahal, because here in Kerala you get to be close to the nature.

It is hard to write about the unlimited holiday options that one can find here, but we take a quick look at the must visit monsoon destinations in Kerala that can offer you value for money experience.
