There are two hotels in Jalna. One is Hotel Elphinstone ( is a branch of Hotel Elphinstone, Nainital) and the other is KMVN hotel being run by a private party. Though you can visit round the year exc (Read More)ept rainy season. The best views of Himalayas- Peaks like Nanda Devi, Trishul, Panchachuli, Nanda Khot etc. can be viewed during Oct to March. These peaks can be seen with bare eyes. The concept of Britishers is very much visible in Jalna, a bungalow of British era is also there, which is also under the care of Hotel Elphinstone. A place away from the crowded and noisy hill stations like Shimla, Nainital, Mussoorie etc.
