This is a visit to a rural area in the Palghar district, around 03 Hours distance from Mumbai. This area is stunningly beautiful, especially during monsoon season.
Agriculture is the main occupation in the area. Since there is no irrigation, farming is done the old-fashioned way and crops are primarily rain-fed. The people of the area are tribal farmers, who live simply and frugally.
