Is there a hill station within 2 hours of a car ride from mumbai that can be visited on a 1 day trip to the city ?
Hey Sameer! I'd recommend Matheran. Really nice hiking and views (and monkeys!). Although not a hill station - and maybe a little further than 2 hours - you can check out Alibag and it's beaches, fort, etc. But unless you can head further to Kashid and Murud from Alibag, I'd check out Matheran.
Yes you can visit lonavala which is nearby mumbai. Previously it was a hill station but now you can get only good weather thats it. But its worth. You can enjoy chikki and fudge over there, its amezing.
Another idea, although not a Hill Station is to take the ferry to Elephant Island – I think this was the highpoint of my own time in Mumbai !!
Good Luck

Yes, you may go to Metheran.
Matheran is a great hill-station retreat, so close to Mumbai yet so unpolluted.
And don’t forget to carry light woolens.
Eat Paan from the roadside stands. If you're afraid and think you might get sick, well, this is a risk you take. During my 3 week stay in Mumbai my cousins would regularly take me to savour delicious paan from the panwallahs on Chowpatty beach. The photo was taken from the back of my cousin Farhan's scooter.
This was one of the places we went to see near Mumbai when Mizzie was in India during her short stay here. The picture was taken on the return journey from the Elephanta Island so you can see the Mumbai skyline in the background. Now doesn't she look like a Bollywood filmstar? HAHAHA!!!
With over 18% of its nearly 14 million inhabitants Moslem, Bombay in certain parts feels entirely like a Moslem city. The majority of the community is Sunni, though Shiites exist as a small minority. Much of the Moslem population, like other Mumbaikars, lives in slums, but the luckier ones seem to be concentrated in the area just to the north of Crawford Market and around Chor Bazaar. Naturally, this area has the highest concentration of Mosques in the city. Here and elsewhere in Bombay, mosques, Hindu temples, churches and other places of worship lie side by side showing exemplary tolerance with little tension among the inhabitants. Attached are photos of a few mosques around the city. The "Things to do" tab contains specific descriptions on a few other mosques.
As I was walking along Marine Drive, I stumbled across this cricket game being played in one of the Gymkhanas that are located here. I spent quite some time here watching this game and saw some good shots played as well as some wickets taken. The word Gymkhana is derived from the Urdu and Hindi word for "racket court" and is originally referred to a place where sporting events take place as well as meeting places where contests were held to test the skill of competitors.
Locals love and live cricket in Bombay and you will see the game being played on every field and you will often see entire side-streets being converted into their playing field with the occasional car disrupting play. Shown here is cricket being played in Cross Maidan (Maidan means field) with the high court in the backdrop.
