Despite the ripples of urbanisation, there are places no more than a two-hour drive from Mumbai, which seem like a world away from its din. If a break from the wear and tear of city life has been overdue, head to the pristine Jawhar region in the Palghar district this Sunday. Here, a day-long itinerary of experiences promises to offer ample opportunity to participate in the rural way of life. The trip is part of a sustainable tourism initiative that aims to give back to the village community.
