Mahabaleshwar at first blush appears diverse as a tourist destination- and surprisingly, with this place, what you see is what you get, even in today’s times. The small city couched in magnificence offers vantage points so high you can get a view of miles around, it has forts, a forte of old India, and if you glance down at Venna Lake, you will be reminded of foreign beach destinations on travel postcards, due to a number of colourful watercrafts afloat. Yes, Mahabaleshwar really is diverse, it seems. Now, there’s a catch with respect to the weather, convention-wise. Mahabaleshwar remains relatively cool in summers and relatively warm during winters. The summer season is a popular tourist season, as it isn’t hot enough to be uncomfortable. This is a popular family tourist destination. Monsoon usually sees heavy rainfall, so it would be wise to plan ahead before visiting.
