Neral

Khagol Mandal also organises a show in English at Neral at Saguna Baag Farmhouse. The best way to go here would be on your own vehicle as the venue is located around 3-4 kilometres away from Neral station.

Bhivpuri

If you love camping around in the forest and are thrilled in setting up your own tent, then you must take this trip. Also organised by Beyond Earth, you are taken into the lush forests of Karjat, where you set up your own tent and look at wonderful constellations throughout the night.

Lonavala

This secluded campsite is located around five kilometres away from the main hill station of Lonavala. It is quite secluded and picturesque with a lake in the backdrop of the venue. This too is a complete camping or star gazing experience. This is slightly on the expensive side, but worth every penny!
