Khopoli located in the Raigad district of Maharashtra is a place where nature with its green hills of the Western Ghats is still very much alive side by side with the industry. Although the area is famous for its power plants, forest, and rich farms, it remains a quiet and a necessary point on the way from the plateau to the sea. It is accessible via serpentine roads from Mumbai, Pune, and Lonavala.
