A resort near Mumbai, without the ghat traffic

1 km off the Samruddhi Highway Igatpuri exit, expressway almost the whole way from Mumbai, instead of the older Mumbai-Nashik highway route through the Kasara ghat.

Why this route works

Take the Samruddhi Highway exit, not the old ghat road

Most resorts near Mumbai still point you at the older Mumbai-Nashik highway, through the Kasara ghat. The Grand Resort sits 1 km off the Samruddhi Highway Igatpuri exit instead, so the drive up from Mumbai stays on expressway almost door to door.

At 144 km, the drive takes about 2 hours 29 minutes by road. Leave the expressway at the Igatpuri exit and the resort is 1 km on, on the NH-3 Mumbai-Agra highway next to the Government Rest House. The nearest railhead is Igatpuri.

Once you're in, there's 100+ rooms and cottages across a 10-acre estate, a 100% pure vegetarian multi-cuisine restaurant, a pool, a spa and an adventure park, all at around 600 m altitude where the air is noticeably cooler than the city.
