As a generation that values rest and despises burnout, we look forward to the weekend more than our favourite artiste’s new album. To make the most of our time off, a lot of us prefer a nano vacation — a short and sweet weekend of escape. Here are some ideas for a nano vacation.

Long drive jaayenge 
A hit playlist, fogged-up windows, stops for chai and Maggi, with a view of luscious hills — that can fix you after a hectic week. Long drives are lowkey while still max on the fun. Maharashtra’s many scenic sites include Lonavala, Mahabaleshwar, Igatpuri, and Matheran.

Exploring your city 
Who says vacations have to be outside Mumbai? Save on the transport, stay local. Explore parks; check out the work of street artists outside Jehangir Art Gallery as well as the exhibits inside; hang out at a new café (or an old favourite); sign up for a workshop. See your city with a fresh perspective. 

Airbnb in the city

Airbnb in the city
Have a staycation on your own terms; book an Airbnb with your besties and let your hair down. Themed Airbnbs are trending, like tropical beach homes that make you feel as if you’re in Goa, and fairytale-themed cottages to take you into Tinkerbell’s world.

Overnight trek
Get away from the city hustle and bustle, and reconnect with nature. There are multiple waterfall treks from Mumbai you can be a part of, especially now nearing monsoon end, and various mountains in Maharashtra ranging from beginner-friendly to advanced, perfect for whether you’re a fitness freak or someone who dreads climbing stairs.
