Private cottage weekend getaway from Mumbai — Moonstone Cottage Kamshet
Leave Saturday morning Arrive before lunch
The Escape You Keep Meaning to Take

The Sahyadris are
closer than
you think.

Most Mumbai weekends follow the same script. Saturday traffic, Sunday mall, Monday back on the Western Line. Moonstone Cottage is 2 hours from Bandra — less if you take the train. You can leave Saturday morning and be in the mountains by noon, with two full days ahead of you.

🚂
By train — actually faster than driving. Mumbai CST to Kamshet station is under 2 hours. No expressway traffic, no tolls.
🏡
Not a resort. The entire property is yours. Cottage, 12,500 sq ft fenced grounds, lawn, outdoor spaces — no other guests.
🐾
Bring your dog. Off-leash on fenced grounds from the moment you arrive. No extra charge, ever.
🌊
Near Pawna lake. A short drive from the cottage. The lake views are best enjoyed without the tent-camp crowds — and you won't have them.
The Train Option

No car needed.
Seriously.

Mumbai to Kamshet by train is one of the most scenic rides in Maharashtra. And it's faster than driving on a weekend.

By Rail

Mumbai CST
→ Kamshet

Under 2 hours on a Pune-bound express. The Sahyadri ghats come into view just before Kamshet — the train literally passes through the mountains.

  1. 1
    Board at Mumbai CST or Dadar — any Pune-bound express (Deccan, Indrayani, etc.)
  2. 2
    Enjoy the ghat section — the train climbs through the Sahyadri hills. Best seats: left side going toward Pune.
  3. 3
    Deboard at Kamshet station — roughly 1h45m to 2h from CST depending on the train.
  4. 4
    Auto-rickshaw to Moonstone Cottage — ~10 minutes, ~₹150. Or WhatsApp us and we'll arrange a pickup.

WhatsApp us before you travel — we'll help pick the right train, confirm the auto from the station, and make sure the cottage is ready when you step off.

The Experience

What a
Moonstone weekend
actually feels like.

From Saturday morning to Sunday evening — a weekend that earns the return journey.

Saturday · 11:30 AM
You step off the train.
The air changes.

Kamshet station is small, quiet, and green. Ten minutes in an auto and you're at the cottage. The city feels further away than 2 hours.

Saturday · 1:30 PM
Check-in.
Entirely yours.

The keys, the cottage, 12,500 sq ft of grounds — all yours. No front desk. No strangers. Your dog is already running the lawn.

Saturday · 3:00 PM
Paragliding over
the valley.

Kamshet is India's paragliding capital. The launch sites are 5 minutes away. Fly for an hour, come back, and spend the rest of the afternoon doing nothing at all.

Saturday · 9:00 PM
Bonfire.
No city glow.

The stars above Kamshet look different when there's no Mumbai light pollution bleeding into the sky. Request a bonfire and stay outside as long as you want.

Sunday · 8:00 AM
Breakfast.
Silence. Sahyadri.

Cooked fresh, served at the cottage. King-size bed, marble bathroom, mountain view from the window. No local train sound below. No traffic.

Sunday · 11:30 AM
Check out feeling
like a different person.

Train back from Kamshet station. Back in Mumbai by 2 PM — enough Sunday left to actually rest before Monday. The best version of the weekend math.

Getting Here from Mumbai

Two ways.
Both easy.

Road or rail — both get you here in under 2 hours. The train is often the better option on weekends.

🚂
By Train
~2 hrs · Mumbai CST → Kamshet
  • Board any Pune-bound train from Mumbai CST or Dadar
  • Deccan Express, Indrayani Express, or any express stopping at Kamshet
  • Deboard at Kamshet station
  • Auto to Moonstone Cottage — ~10 min, ~₹150
  • WhatsApp us — we can arrange station pickup

Often faster than driving on Saturday morning when expressway traffic builds up. And no parking to worry about.

🚗
By Road
~2 hrs · ~110 km
  • Take the Mumbai–Pune Expressway (NH48)
  • Drive toward Pune — take the Kamshet exit
  • Follow signs toward Trikaya Retreat / Jambhavali
  • Call us near Kamshet — we guide you in for the last stretch
  • 📍 Open in Google Maps →

From Thane or Navi Mumbai: You're slightly closer — take the Kalyan bypass or Sion-Panvel Highway onto the Expressway toward Pune.

The Honest Take

Better than Lonavala.
Near Pawna lake.
Without the crowds.

Lonavala is 20 minutes from Moonstone. It's also where half of Mumbai goes on weekends — bumper to bumper on Friday night, packed resorts on Saturday, gridlock back on Sunday. Kamshet is quieter, greener, and largely undiscovered. And Pawna lake? A short drive from the cottage — the views without the tent-camp atmosphere.

What no Lonavala resort can give you: the entire property to yourself. No corridor noise. No strangers at breakfast. No shared pool. Just your group, 12,500 sq ft of private grounds, and the Sahyadri ridgeline.

Typical Lonavala Resort
Shared. Crowded. Loud.
  • ✗ 200+ guests, shared pool and spaces
  • ✗ Corridor noise, strangers at every turn
  • ✗ Pets almost always not allowed
  • ✗ Friday night gridlock from Mumbai
  • ✗ Sunday evening Expressway standstill
Moonstone Cottage
Private. Quiet. Entirely Yours.
  • ✓ Only 1 cottage — only your group
  • ✓ 12,500 sq ft grounds all yours
  • ✓ Dogs welcome off-leash, no extra charge
  • ✓ Train option — avoid the traffic entirely
  • ✓ Near Pawna lake, away from tent camps

"Took the train from Dadar — absolutely the right call. No traffic, beautiful ghat views, and someone picked us up at the station. Cottage was stunning."

Meera & Vivek · Bandra, Mumbai
★★★★★

"We've done every resort near Lonavala. Nothing compares to having the whole place to yourself. Brought our two dogs — they were as happy as we were."

Nikhil R. · Powai, Mumbai
★★★★★

"Left Andheri at 7 AM Saturday, was sitting on the private lawn with coffee by 10. The Sahyadri views are something else. We're coming back next month."

2 hours.
Two full days.
Zero city.

Mumbai will still be there Monday. Book a weekend at Moonstone — the Sahyadri mountains are waiting and they look considerably better than the Western Line.
