Our close-knit cousins family embarked on a monsoon adventure to Jawhar, Palghar, and it turned out to be one for the story books to experience for our kids.

With scenic landscapes, refreshing rains, and joyful camaraderie, our journey unfolded with many picture-perfect moments.

At Hanuman Point, we couldn't resist striking a pose in front of the iconic "I Love Jawhar" sign. The breathtaking view from this vantage point left us in awe, making it the perfect spot to capture cherished group photos.

The kids had a blast at Hanuman Point, reveling in the cool breeze and picturesque surroundings. Their laughter and happiness made the trip even more worthwhile.

As the rain drizzled down, we relished the best combination in a monsoon trip - hot and tasty Bhutta (Sweet Corn). Savoring the flavors while embracing the rains at Hanuman Point was an experience worth cherishing.

6. Khadkhad Dam - A Serene Escape:

Though we missed some waterfalls in due to safety measures as Jawhar witnessed 300mm rainfall in last few weeks Khadkhad Dam provided a serene escape. The picturesque view of the lake from the top of the dam was mesmerizing and allowed us to connect with nature on a deeper level.

While driving back from Khadkhad Dam to Jawhar market, we stumbled upon a hidden gem - a smooth waterfall. The tranquility of the spot made it an ideal pause for capturing some more delightful memories.
