Saputara, a hill station in the Sahyadri hills of the Western Ghats, is drawing attention for its slow travel appeal, with the Radisson Hatgad Saputara property designed around the existing terrain and Sula Vineyards acquiring a nearby property, Times Now reports. The destination offers spiritual sites including Shirdi, the Trimbakeshwar Shiva Temple, and the Unnai Mata hot spring, along with sound-healing sessions and vegetarian meals using millets and seasonal produce. The article notes that while the narrow highway makes access convenient, growing infrastructure may change the landscape as tourism increases.
