The Verandah In The Forest, Matheran

Also known as Barr House, this gorgeous house set within the wooded landscape of India's only ‘pedestrian’ hill station, is set in the Sahayadri ranges of Maharshatra.

Built in the 19th century, the chief feature of the retreat is a sprawling verandah that wraps the bungalow, and where you can spend quality time -- that's when you're not walking along the many trails or strolling down to Charlotte lake.

Great for the ultimate nature getaway.

Bookings at Rs 4,000 for a couple per night.
