How to get to Kéki Baug
Just a 6km drive from Neral station lies your perfect getaway. Its close proximity to Mumbai and Pune makes it just a two hours drive from your chaotic city.
With the old Mumbai-Pune highway renovated, it’s a smooth and scenic drive all the way only to be stopped by the heard of grazing sheep and cattle.
If you’re the one who prefers our famous trains, then the Karjat / Khapoli local gets you here in just 1 hour 45 minutes from Dadar.
