The Saputara Monsoon Festival 2026 (locally called Meghotsav) runs from 26 July to 17 August 2026, hosted by Gujarat Tourism at Saputara – the state\u2019s only hill station, tucked into the Sahyadri range in the Dang district. Expect 23 days of tribal Dang dance performances, adventure sports, a food carnival, boating, ziplining, and paragliding. From Nashik, Saputara is about 78\u201382 km via SH-6 through Peth and Vani – roughly a 2.5-hour drive through the Western Ghats. If you want a comfortable monsoon base with better road access and villas, most travellers pair the festival with a stay in Nashik and day-trip up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
