What to do on weekends in Mumbai.

Saturday night

• A gig or a club night. Check a club’s entry rules first: some have couples-only nights or limit stag entry. Book your ride home before the night ends.
• Karaoke, a quiz or comedy. Something to do from the first minute, and easy to walk into on your own.
• A match on a big screen. Cricket, football or a fight night: louder, and better, with a crowd.
• A late bite. Finish with street food and a walk by the sea.

Sunday morning

• Run, walk or cycle. Go early, before the heat. A beginners’ run club sets a pace you can talk at.
• Turf football and box cricket. Book an early slot, before the heat, and split the cost between you.
• A morning in the forest. Sanjay Gandhi National Park in Borivali, or Yeoor Hills in Thane.
• Brunch. The slow plan: a long table and nowhere to be.

Day trips and weekend getaways

• Lonavala and Khandala. Hill stations on the way to Pune, at their greenest in the monsoon.
• Karjat. Rivers, farm stays and treks, a local train ride from the city.
• Matheran. A hill station with no cars in town, so you walk. The toy train up from Neral stops for the monsoon, so check before you go.
• Alibaug. Beaches across the harbour: a ferry from the Gateway of India to Mandwa, then a short ride. The Gateway ferries usually stop for the monsoon, so check first.
• Treks. Kalsubai, the highest peak in Maharashtra, or fort treks like Rajmachi, Lohagad and Karnala. Go with a group and a leader who knows the route.

Monsoon weekends

From June to September the hills turn green and trek season peaks. Heavy rain also closes some forts, falls and trails, and can stop the local trains. Check the weather and any closures before you leave, and stay away from waterfalls and fast water in heavy rain.

Rained in? Board games, a café, an indoor turf or a bowling alley still count as a plan.

Weekends in Thane and Navi Mumbai

• Thane. Morning walks and cycling in Yeoor Hills, and evenings by Upvan Lake or Masunda Lake.
• Navi Mumbai. A morning hike in the Kharghar hills and, in flamingo season, the wetlands.

Cheap or free weekends

A sea-face walk, a run, a beach clean-up, football in the park, a board game night at a friend’s place: a good weekend doesn’t have to cost much.
