Saputara lies at border of Gujarat and Maharashtra, precisely at the southern tip of Gujarat. Nestled in the Sahyadri hills, Saputara is part of the tribal district of Dangs. As a hill station that still retains its original charm, this picturesque land has a lot to offer to a lazy walker as well as an adventurous trekker.


We visited Saputara during August and could enjoy the misty beauty of the hill station.

We drove from Mumbai via Nasik, Dindori, Vani to Saputara covering about 255 km. Our return journey was via Waghai, Vansda, Chikli, Valsad, which is about 345 km.
