A place which would have been aptly described 15 years ago as a typical village in India has transformed into a town booming with industries, trade and ofcourse real estate, thanks to its strategic location on NH-3(Mumbai-Nasik-Agra). Apart from its location, the natural beauty around it has to offer makes it a place worth investing in land. Several townships and farmhouses have come up in the vicinity of Shahapur in the span of couple of years.
One of the major tourist attraction is Mahuli Fort located 7Km away from the town and Jain Manas Mandir 4kms enroute Mahuli. Mahuli has its place in the history of Marathas while Manas Mandir came up recently and is believed to be built at a place where Lord Mahavira had touched his feet. More about Mahuli & its breathtaking beauty and waterfalls, Manas Mandir, the Dams ( Tansa, Bhatsa & Vaitarna ) and wildlife around my hometown will be following.... Above are pics of Mahuli and Manas Mandir..
