12 Weekend Getaways from Thane
Matheran, Lonavala, Igatpuri and Malshej Ghat are all within about 110 km of Thane, Bhandardara and Nashik make a full weekend, and Goa is an overnight Konkan train.
Thane sits where the Nashik highway and the Kalyan line meet, so the Sahyadri is close: Matheran via Neral, Malshej Ghat via Murbad and Igatpuri up the Kasara ghat are all day trips. Lonavala and Mahabaleshwar are easy weekends without crossing Mumbai.
For Goa and the Konkan, many trains stop at Thane or Panvel, and flights from Mumbai airport work for everything further.
