Panchgani is derived from the fact that it is located at the centre of five hills ("Panch" = five, "Gani" = hills). It is tucked away in Satara district, just 19 kms east of Mahabaleshwar. The place is well known for trekking and other adventure activities. It is also famous for its boarding schools, its Parsee Bungalows, the fresh air and tasty strawberries (Read more...)
Pune is the nearest airport both for Mahabaleshwar (120 km and Panchgani (98 km).
A few weeks back, we (me and my roomies) went on an excursion to these hill stations.
We saw a few landmarks like:
Lodwick Point
Bombay Point
