Mighty, mist covered blue mountains,
rolling ever greens of happiness,
rich blue skies of eternal joy,
soaring trees, oak, pine and others plenty,
maybe, there are so many different worlds, yes,
but there's only one like you, yours of bliss,
the one i was born to, embraced and loved,
cradled in the arms of divine comfort,
with brethren akin, bound by love,
forever and ever, always in hope,
someday i will return to these valleys, these mountains,
these expanses of joy, these moments of elation,
of your soul, spirit and all, i am part of you,
in you i see me, as in me they see you,
there can only be one home for me,
and it will always be in those mighty arms of thee.

Maybe you can go to Lonawala or Khandala from Mum. Hills, both, I guess? :)
