8 beautiful hotels and villas to stay in Mahabaleshwar and Panchgani

By Arzoo Dina

The picturesque hill resort town of Mahabaleshwar with its strawberry farms and mist-covered mountains has always held a draw as an escape in the hills. It's also the perfect  road trip destination  from places like Mumbai and Pune. Whether it's a romantic holiday or a getaway with friends and family, we've rounded up places you can stay at when visiting Mahabaleshwar.

8 places to stay in and around Mahabaleshwar

Courtyard by marriott mahabaleshwar.

Launched in 2021, this property sits at a height of over 1,000m above sea level. On offer are 93 rooms, each with their own balconies and some with plunge pools; a common infinity pool; a temperature-controlled Jacuzzi; and an indoor and outdoor play area for little ones. All this, against the rich backdrop of Mahabaleshwar’s evergreen forests . You can ask the hotel to arrange activities like strawberry picking, biking trails and horseback rides, among other things. The hotel offers four food and beverage spaces–an all-day dining area, an Indian restaurant called Sigri, Quarter Deck, the bar where you can catch a sundowner, and a rooftop coffee shop for some sweet treats among the clouds.  Doubles from Rs10,900* including breakfast.

Avabodha, Panchgani

Avabodha is the ideal home away from home for those looking to escape the din of Mumbai. Here you can embrace the towering trees, spend days of solitude by the Krishna river and sleep under the ceiling of a star-studded sky. Wild peacocks roam in peace here while giant squirrels run around in mischief. The house, run by Alka Shesha and Prachi Chaphekar, is a three-bedroom villa built in a way that each room looks out to the river. There’s a porch and a terrace area where you can enjoy meals and other communal activities such as stargazing and yoga. The villa serves only vegetarian food, made mostly with vegetables grown in-house. There are no TVs around, but plenty of games and natural beauty to keep you busy.  Entire villa from Rs20,472* with mandatory meal packages charged separately.

Verandah by the Valley, Panchgani

What better place to soak in gorgeous views and start your mornings among the clouds? This three-bedroom home has a gazebo at the edge of the hill and a verandah that looks out to the Panchgani valley. There’s a berry farm just a hop and a skip away, while a 20-minute walking trail leads you to a vantage point that overlooks the entire valley.  Entire villa from Rs28,900* for eight people, including breakfast.

Le Meridien Mahabaleshwar Resort & Spa

Sprawled over 27 acres of forest overlooking the Western Ghats, Le Meridien makes for a compelling getaway surrounded by luxurious comforts. The rooms and suites here afford different views, ranging from evergreen forests to the lush valley, but you'll find that the resort's infinity pool offers some of the most stunning vistas. Book yourself into the Tranquility Suite and be sure to pamper your senses with the private outdoor shower. Evenings can be spent by the Plunge Bar overlooking the infinity pool, or if you want to skip dining at one of the resort's restaurants, opt for the forest dining experience that the hotel will curate for you in the middle of the woods, with a selection of Asian tapas and Japanese fare.  Doubles from Rs13,999*.

Brightland Resort & Spa, Mahabaleshwar

Perched on the edge of a cliff, Brightland comprises 85 plush rooms spread over 6.5 acres of greens. The rooms and suites are divided into different wings—the cottage wing offers larger, spacious rooms with private terraces, while the Oak Suite is an ideal romantic escape with its outdoor jacuzzi.

Mahabaleshwar and Panchgani- Perfect Weekend Escape for all Mumbaikars and Punerians !!!

So it was my birthday last year and I love spending my birthdays exploring some new place because that adds on to the stack of memory and whenever I am gonna look back I will have all my birthdays with a unique travel story to cherish. Last year, we (me and my boyfriend) because of our tight schedule just got 2 days to holiday (luckily my birthday was on weekend) and it was almost end of June, since it was summers so after some brainstorming we decided why not visit Mahabaleshwar and Panchgani. As it is near to Pune and a perfect option that can be covered within two days. Mahabaleshwar is a small hill station in Sahyadri mountain range with one of the few evergreen forests in India. Due to its high altitude, the town has a cool climate and offers many pleasant views. There are several lookout points which offer spectacular views of the surrounding hills and valleys. It is about 120 km from Pune hence we decided to hit the road on bike. I was on seventh cloud since it was my first ever bike trip. It was sunny Saturday morning, we left Pune around 8.00 am and after having a halt for breakfast we reached Panchgani around 11.00 am. We stopped at our first point “Harrison’s Folly” and clicked some beautiful pictures. After spending some time there we left for Mahabaleshwar. Distance between Panchgani and Mahabaleshwar is around 20 km and journey is picturesque. After checking in to the hotel that we booked, we freshened up and started our exploration.

Day-1 : MAHABALESHWAR

Below are the key spots of this beautiful hill station that we visited and trust me guys each of these offer amazing views. The cherry on the cake was the rainfall that started around 3:00 pm and made this place a fairy tale with astonishing views.

After exploring all these points with mesmerizing view of the valley we came back to our hotel around 8:00 pm. I was eagerly waiting for 12:00 am because I wanted to cut my birthday cake. And it was 12:00 am, I was way too happy because I was celebrating my birthday at such pleasant hill town.

Day-2 : MAHABALESHWAR, PANCHGANI

We were supposed to wake up early on day two as we decided to cover all the left over spots of Mahabaleshwar then cover Panchgani and return to Pune by night. But if every thing happens according to your plan then what is the fun !! We got up a little late but then too we managed getting ready as fast as we could and left for Venna Lake. We enjoyed our boat ride in Venna Lake, weather was cloudy and there was fog all around. Lake is beautiful. After this we left for Mapro Garden, here one can shop and also pamper themselves with yummy pizza with super amazing hill top ambience. Just like their pizzas, they have really delicious chocolates in some exotic flavors. We left for Panchgani after our expedition to Mapro Garden and covered some really beautiful spots in Panchgani.

It was around 3:30 pm we had our lunch and it was also time to wrap up this beautiful trip and head towards Pune.

A two-day road trip exploring Mahabaleshwar from Pune

Abhi, have you written something on Mahabaleshwar and Panchgani – a question that has been asked a lot to me of late.  All my readers were sceptical that how come I haven’t written something on the famous hill station, that too when I live in Pune and travel a lot to the nearby places and write about them. To be honest, Mahabaleshwar is too touristy and I never felt like writing about it.

Amazing view from Arthur Seat Mahabaleshwar

With the extended monsoon season this year, I finally decided to do a road trip to the hill station. The place wasn’t as crowded as I expected it to be and I was left flabbergasted by its beauty. On my earlier visit to the town, I visited it in the summers and had used public transport, so I couldn’t explore it much. You really need your own transport to explore it to the fullest.

Mahabaleshwar Forests

Located in the Sahyadri mountain range of Maharashtra, Mahabaleshwar is a beautiful hill station known for its juicy Strawberries, numerous lakes and waterfalls, majestic peaks, lush green forests, ancient temples and breathtaking valley views. The nearby Panchgani and Wai add more to the beauty of the hill station.

view from Krishnabai temple

Owing to the popularity, so much has been written about Mahabaleshwar over the internet. While planning my trip to Mahabaleshwar, what I found missing was a proper 2-day itinerary covering all the must-visit places which can be useful to plan the complete trip. I did a bit of research on how I can possibly cover Panchgani, Wai and Mahabaleshwar on a 2-day road trip from Pune and mapped all the locations on Gmaps.

Enroute to Mahabaleshwar

Elphinstone Point Mahabaleshwar

How to reach Mahabaleshwar from Pune and Mumbai

Mahabaleshwar is located around 250 kms from Mumbai and 120 kms from Pune. Direct buses are available from both these cities to Mahabaleshwar. To explore the hill station, one would need to rely on Taxis and that could be a bit hefty on your pocket.

What I would suggest is to rent a bike from Pune and explore the towns of Wai, Panchgani and Mahabaleshwar on a 2-day road trip. T o rent a bike check out Wheelstreet and Boongg .

Raining at Mahabaleshwar

So let me put down a 2-day itinerary on how I covered all the must-see places in Wai, Panchgani and Mahabaleshwar. You can follow the same if you find it interesting 🙂

Day -1 (Pune – Wai – Panchgani – Mahabaleshwar)

I along with one of my friends started from Pune at around 5 am. We first decided to cover Wai followed by Panchgani and some spots at Mahabaleshwar if we possibly could.

This is what all we covered on Day 1:

Day 1 itinerary

• Shri Maha Ganapati Temple and Shri Kashi Vishweshwar Mandir Wai

You can kick start your journey by taking blessings at the temples of Wai. Mostly the temples at Wai are situated on the bank of Krishna stream. After taking a dip in Krishna river, we took blessings of Lord Ganapati and Lord Shiva.

Shri Maha Ganapati Temple Wai

Shri Kashi Vishweshwar Mandir Wai

After taking the blessings at temples of Wai, next on our list was the scenic Dhom Lake. The Instagram pictures of this lake have always fascinated me and I wanted to visit it in person.

Many Bollywood movies including Swadesh, Chennai express, Singham and Rab ne Bana di Jodi are being shot here. The lake gives a beach like feelings when not filled to its capacity.

Dhom Dam Wai

• Harrisons Folly

Harrisons Folly is a flat table barren land which gives a great view of Panchgani on one side and Wai on the other side. This point comes first if you are entering Panchgani from Wai side. I especially loved riding the bike on this barren land.

Harrison’s Folly Panchgani

Camel at Harrison’s Folly Panchgani

• Sydney Point

Named after Sir Sidney Beckwarth, Sydney point offers breathtaking views of the Dhom Dam, Krishna Valley, Kamalgad Fort and Wai town. On your return journey on day 2, I would recommend you to watch the sunset from here. The sunset views from Sydney point are spectacular.

 Sydney Point

• Ghatjai Mandir

The temple has sculptures of Goddess Ghatubai and Goddess Jaiebai, hence referred to as ‘The Ghatjai Mandir’.

Ghatjai temple Panchgani

Situated at a height of 4500 feet above sea level, Table Land is the highest point of the entire region of Panchgani. It is believed to be Asia’s second-longest mountain plateau. The Table Land gives unobstructed views of the surrounding hills and valleys. Sunrise and sunset views from here are amazing. When I visited it, the hills were covered in green and Table land was full of wildflowers, green grass and bodies of water. Do visit the Tiger cave.

• Kates Point

After having delicious refreshments at Mapro garden, you can head straight to Kate’s Point. Kates point is actually a combination of 3 view points namely Kates’s Point, Echo Point and Needles Hole View Point.

Kate’s Point Mahabaleshwar

From Kate’s point, one can enjoy the marvellous views of the lush green Krishna Valley and the beautiful Dhom dam. Echo point as the name suggests is where you can scream, to hear back the sound. From needles Hole View point, one can see a natural rock formation with a hole in between, thus giving the name Needle-hole.

View from Echo Point Mahabaleshwar

• Sunset point/Bombay point

The place is considered to be one of the best spots to witness the sunset in Mahabaleshwar. The sight of the sun setting and disappearing into the valley and meanwhile the sky changing colours is simply astonishing. We couldn’t enjoy the sunset as it was cloudy on that particular day.

Sunset as seen from Bombay Point Mahabaleshwar

To put an end to the beautiful day, you can enjoy the delicious food served at the Poonam veg restaurant which is just next to the main market. The cost is on a bit higher side but worth it.

Enroute to Lodwick Point Mahabaleshwar

• Venna Lakeview Point

This is not a popular point and rarely people visit this place. It is at the backside of Venna Lake. Just put in Venna Lakeview point on Gmaps and continue till the road ends. Few boats are parked over there. You can take a dip into the lake and enjoy a peaceful time over here.

Venna Lakeview Point Mahabaleshwar

Situated around 7 kms from Mahabaleshwar, Old Mahabaleshwar is a historical place and a village in Mahabaleshwar. The village mostly comprises of temples and few houses.

Elphinstone point

• Lingmala Waterfall

This is a must-visit waterfall if you are visiting Mahabaleshwar in the Monsoons. From the entrance gate where a fee of INR 20 per person is charged, one needs to walk for around 15-20 minutes to reach the main view point of the waterfall. The feeling that one gets on seeing water falling majestically and gracefully high up from the cliff is indescribable. There is also a small waterfall which is safe & suitable for swimming and playing in the water.

Lingmala Waterfall Mahabaleshwar

I decided to skip visiting Pratapgad Fort on this particular road trip to Mahabaleshwar . We were late in reaching the Sydney point, the sun had already set behind the mountains. After an amazing road trip of 2 days, we finally returned back to Pune by 9 PM.

Sunset as seen from Mahabaleshwar Panchgani Road

Best time to visit Mahabaleshwar

If you want to experience the heavy rainfall, make a visit to the town in the monsoon months of July to September. But remember it rains heavily in the region and most of the viewpoints are completely covered under fog so you probably won’t get the surrounding views.

Breathtaking view from Arthur Seat Mahabaleshwar

I would recommend you to visit the town when the monsoon season is on its last legs, maybe like mid-September to mid-October. During this time, you get to experience all aspects of climate. The valleys are lush green, the jungles are still dense and the clouds are still low at this time of the year at Mahabaleshwar. Riding a bike in such weather is an experience of a lifetime.

Foggy at Mahabaleshwar

Stay and food option at Mahabaleshwar

Don’t trust your Oyo or MakeMyTrip bookings is what I would say!! I was denied entry to the Oyo room which I had booked online from MakeMyTrip by the receptionist. Most of the hotel owners and their union at Mahabaleshwar have ongoing issues with all the online hotel booking providers. Before going, better confirm at the hotel where you had done bookings online. I would suggest you to directly reach Mahabaleshwar and find a stay on the go.

Table Land Panchgani

you can also set up you own tent. The tent that I carry with me is Quechua Arpenaz 2 Tent . It has enough space for 2 people.

Many restaurants and street food vendors are serving all sorts of cuisines in Mahabaleshwar, to the delight of happy foodies. I had my dinner at Poonam Veg Restaurant. The food was delicious and I would highly recommend them.

Before the start of the journey, I had a little expectation from Mahabaleshwar and Panchgani. I always thought it would be too touristy. But after the journey, my whole perception for the town has changed. I agree its touristy, but still, it has so much to explore that you can find many places all to yourself.

"The Table Land"

Panchgani tourism.

Deriving its name from the five hills surrounding it, Panchgani is a popular hill station near Mahabaleshwar  in Maharashtra, famous for its various sunset and sunrise points and scenic valley view.

Located at an altitude of 1,334 mts, Panchgani is also known as Paachgani as the five hills that form the Sahyadri mountain ranges offer Panchgani its name. The picturesque backdrop of hills on one side and coastal plains on the other makes for an amazing view. In the British era, the place was treated as a summer resort and hence many colonial period establishments can be seen here. Mahabaleshwar is like a twin city to Panchgani. Other than the verdant green valleys, and soothing environment, the red, juicy strawberries are a major attraction of Panchgani. Rightly known as the ‘Strawberry Garden of India’, the farms of Panchgani are full of enchanting views of luscious berries, especially during February and March.

Roaming With Roads

Life As Travellers

A 5 DAY MONSOON ROAD TRIP FROM MUMBAI TO MAHABALESHWAR, PANCHGANI & KAAS PLATEAU

After a successful Mumbai to Goa coastal road trip, this time around we explored the roads of Mahabaleshwar, Panchgani & Kaas Plateau. And this five days of road trip was full of excitement and fun, some new experiences and learnings. We bring to you a detailed journey about our road trip with every possible relevant information.

Keep reading and roam the roads with us!!

Road trips to this part of the mountainous ranges of Sahyadris in the rainy season are mostly avoided by many as this region gets very heavy rainfall. Who can forget the floods of Mahad taluka in Raigad district in July 2021 caused due to incessant rain for 3 days? Probably the people who suffered huge losses won’t. 

Mahabaleshwar is one of the top points of the Sahyadri ranges and extremely heavy rainfall here causes havoc in the lower areas which becomes prone to landslides and flooding.

Before embarking on this journey, I was aware about this and we made sure to check the current weather conditions.

Table of Contents

DAY 1 – FROM HIGHWAY TO THE HILLS

Mumbai to Mahabaleshwar (via Poladpur / Ambenali Ghat)

Having mounted our luggage on the motorcycle, we left home at 6 am. It was raining but after an hour into the ride, the sky cleared itself from the clouds and the sun peeped as we crossed the Vashi creek. The traffic kept increasing on the other side of the lane as it was a normal week day and people flocked to go to their offices. And here we were happy to go far from the city. Negotiating the slow moving trucks we entered NH 66 (Mumbai Goa Highway).

ROAD UPDATE –

We recommend eating lunch at Mast Malvani – a konkani restaurant in Mahad on the highway. They have their own farm and vegetables are freshly served. To stay light throughout the ride we simply ordered dal khichdi and ate bhakri with green chili thecha (a maharashtrian recipe made with green chillies and garlic with crushed roasted peanuts).

Enroute, we visited Gandharpale Caves (also popularly known as Pandavleni) located on the outskirts of the Mumbai Goa Highway. These groups of 30 Buddhist caves located on a hill to your left easily catch your attention.There are stone steps to reach the top. The site gave a beautiful panoramic view of Gandhari river and the hillock was enhanced by several water cascades.

We reached Poladpur around 3:00 pm. It is a busy market area. You have to leave the highway here and take left. This road takes directly to Mahabaleshwar which is a ride of 40 kilometers on the Ambenali Ghat . This is the longest ghat in Maharashtra cutting across the Sahyadri ranges with numerous hairpin bends and steep gradients.

We enjoyed the ride with panoramic views of the valley and stopped by at numerous cascading waterfalls. There are few stalls on this route where you can sip in hot tea with a view of clouds rolling into valleys. The fog enveloped the ghat as we kept gaining height.

A road sign indicated Mahabaleshwar 5 kilometers away. No sooner we were about to reach, it started raining heavily. The hills welcomed us with showers of pouring rain and fully drenched we rushed into our hotel room greeted by a not so welcoming smile from our host.

The room had a balcony with a good view of hills. I had already started visualizing colorful wildflowers carpeting the entire Kaas Plateau . I wanted this day to end soon. But did we get enough rain this year for the flowers to bloom? Will we be able to see the different flowering plants? Only time could tell tomorrow.

DAY 2 – KAAS PATHAR – MAHARASHTRA’S PLATEAU OF FLOWERS

Mahabaleshwar to Kaas Plateau (via Mahabaleshwar Kaas Road) &

Kaas Plateau to Mahabaleshwar (via Kaas Bamnoli Tapola Road)

We took two different routes to and fro and this made the day an exciting one. Kaas plateau can be approached by two routes from Mahabaleshwar. One is via Satara which is the longest one. Another is via Mahabaleshwar-Kaas Road which is just 37 kilometers and is a secluded route.

The sky was overcast. We were the only ones riding on this single village road leading to Kaas and met only a couple of locals passing by. The view of the Koyna valley and surrounding hills was mesmerizing. You would love to take many halts on this unexplored route. There are many trails and points where you can spend some time.

One such halt we made was at Varsoli Koli . The name doesn’t matter as there is no signboard anywhere. There are numerous windmills on this route. We could touch the poles of a windmill, it is so close. They look like some massive metal flowers blowing breezes through their petals. As I rode, my eyes were drawn upward and around marveling at these spinning wheels quietly making electricity.

Steffe insisted to stop here and why not, we are roaming the roads to capture these moments, aren’t we?

Kaas is 15 kilometers from here. The small road kept descending and rising. And there came one such ascent of the ghat section which led us to the Kaas plateau.

I slowed down and started scrutinizing the left and right of the plateau to see the colorful blooms. My eyes were yearning to see the pink carpeting effect of Pink Balsam (Impatiens balsamina) . But unfortunately these wildflowers were not seen in abundance.

We parked the vehicle, took the entry tickets and started exploring the meadows. There are fences built to protect the delicate carpet of flowers. Entry to the plateau was allowed only at certain places. Rains play a very important part in the blooming of the flowers. The guard keeping a watch on over enthusiastic tourists informed us that due to less rainfall, the flowering on the plateau was affected this year.

Whatever little the plateau had to offer was striking and beautiful. As far as the eye could see, we witnessed Indian Arrowroot (hitchenia caulina) flowering in abundance. This herb grows upto 50-100 cm. It had yellow & white flowers. Locally, it is known as ‘chavar’ .

Other flowers displaying it’s array of colors in plenty were Pipewort (eriocaulon decangulare) – a herb with crowded head of tiny white flowers and Grass Leaved Bladderwort (utricularia purpurascens) – an insectivorous herb with its bluish purple flowers. Interestingly, locally it is called Seeteche Aswe (Tear’s of Sita) . It is said that when Ravana abducted Sita to Lanka, her tears fell on these flowers, staining their blue petals with a white dot shaped like a tear.

We spent a good time observing and photographing this landscape.The blooming of flowers was not as what we expected but nevertheless we were not disappointed. Nature has its own way of working.The ride to Kaas plateau was one of the most scenic with hillsides bursting with green.

What we explored near Kaas –

VAJRAI WATERFALL

This is around 5 kilometers from Kaas. Bhambavli is the base village. The ride to the village is through a narrow dirt road. There is an entry fee of Rs 30 per person. Vajrai Falls is the highest waterfall in the state, falling down from a height of 560 m. This short hike was so pleasing and refreshing that we felt at tranquility walking among the hills covered with green plantations. There is a fig tree where the laid out steps end which is marked as a viewing point to see the waterfall from a distance. The view from here is very beautiful. We advise not to venture further as the forest is very dense and boulders are risky to walk on during monsoon.

KAAS BAMNOLI TAPOLA ROAD

This is one of the most amazing and scenic rides in Satara district. It added an extra 40 kilometers but the entire stretch of internal village road was worth riding.

Bamnoli is a small village beside Shivsagar lake – a lake formed by the waters of Koyna dam. The village is 15 kilometers from Kaas plateau. The road to Bamnoli was isolated and the forest around was dense with trees covered in moss. Once you cross this forest cover, the view ahead is breathtaking. There were numerous streams and the water was crystal clear. We were speechless for some moments. Apart from boating in the lake, the Vasota fort trek is also organized from Bamnoli.

Tapola is a small village 40 kilometers from Bamnoli. Sun was about to set in an hour. Rain had kept us dry for the day. But clouds had begun to form and looked ready to burst anytime. We had to get out of this internal forest road before dark and reach the main road leading to Mahabaleshwar. We decided not to take many halts and reach Tapola at earliest. Cruising at 30-40 km/hr soaking in the landscape that changed dramatically from village to thick forest cover with very few movements of humans except for herdsmen taking their cattles back home.

MOMENT OF THE DAY –

The sun had set but it held its light for enough time for us to reach the main road connecting to Mahabaleshwar. Our next 25 kilometers of ride was in the dark through the ghat. The mist rolled in as I rode down the meandering roads. The weather turned foggy and visibility became very poor. I slowed down the speed for better control in case of sudden braking.

Overall, we enjoyed every moment of today’s ride. It is a delight for every traveler to experience such beautiful roads and places.

DAY 3 – THE HIDDEN SIDE OF PANCHGANI

With no specific plan for today’s ride we left hoping to find some offbeat place in Panchgani just 18 kilometers from Mahabaleshwar. It was going to be a short ride today and more of an exploration.

There are several look out points in Panchgani like Sydney point, Parsi point etc. but we avoid the touristy places and look for something interesting to explore. Few meters ahead of Parsi Point I came across a board which read ‘Swach Bharat Point’ . Out of curiosity, we decided to check out.

SWACH BHARAT POINT

This is a beautiful garden made by Panchgani Municipal Council of their garbage depot. There is a biogas electricity plant turning waste into sustainable energy. The gardener was busy pulling the weeds and was surprised to see us as this point is not visited by many. He showed keen interest in answering our questions and threw some light about the waste management system. It was a nice short conversation with him.

Below I share a link to an inspiring article describing how Panchgani won the Cleanest Town in Western India Award and how Kachra Point became Swachh Bharat Point.

https://www.thekodaichronicle.com/environment/panchgani-how-kachra-point-became-swachh-bharat-point/

For a tourist, Swachh Bharat Point also provides a charming view of Krishna Valley, Dhom Dam, Kamalgad Fort and the city of Wai .

RAJPURI CAVES

A signboard In Panchgani market indicated various places to go and impulsively we selected Rajpuri Caves at around 7 kilometers. It started raining heavily as we entered the village road. We always search for a place which is far from the bustling crowd and if that place is a village it makes us more than happy.

A narrow ghat road with hairpin bends took us to the Rajpuri village. A quaint and sleepy hamlet nestled beside a forest with a very few houses looked like a perfect abode of tranquility.

Near the gram panchayat office, there are steps which go below to the caves through an archway. The caves has 3 water ponds named as below

• Shri Dutt Kund
• Shri Mallikarjun Kund
• Shri Vishnu Kund

It is believed that by taking bath in these holy kunds can cure them from all diseases and wash away all sins. Most famous attraction of the caves is the temple of Lord Kartikeya.

I liked the location of the caves. It is a very silent place amidst the forest. The Malabar whistling thrush sang its melody from the ravines below. After spending some peaceful time and photographing tiny wild flowers bordering the steps we decided to explore the village.

A peahen walking on the roof of the gram panchayat office caught my attention. And this time I wanted to capture the moment on camera. The villagers peeped through their windows as I kept changing angles for better shots (without disturbing the bird).

The real beauty of Rajpuri village lies in its simplicity. Simple houses painted in different shades of color dot the landscape and the surrounding forest gave a breath of fresh air.

This is a tourist point. Tableland is the highest point in Panchgani situated above 4500 feet and also renowned for being the second largest plateau in Asia . The flatland is a good attraction for families during peak season as there are many activities held here which are closed in monsoon. It offers beautiful and endless views of fir trees standing tall above sweeping valleys.

We visited two natural caves called Lion & Tiger caves located near the backside of the tableland. Entry ticket is Rs 10 per head for each cave. There is a statue of Lord Shiva and five Pandavas and their wife. Inside the natural caves sitting on the wooden carved seats you can gorge on the variety of snacks and beverages served by Den Dine Cafe and enjoy the views from here.

BHILAR – THE VILLAGE OF BOOKS

We were heading towards the famous Mapro Garden when I read a board indicating a village called Bhilar . What captivated me was its caption – ‘Pustakancha Gaav’ . Without a thought I told Steffe I want to go here. Being a book lover, how could I not visit India’s first village of books ?

Designated households, schools, temples, hotels and homestays maintain a library for the tourists to enjoy reading. The idea is to promote Bhilar as a reading and cultural hub and make tourists familiar with Marathi literature. A diversity in collection has been added with English and Hindi books making it to the shelves.

Every road in Bhilar leads to different categories of the books. There is a board outside the homes mentioning the genre they host like poetry, history etc. and an interested reader can simply walk in and explore the collection. This is really a unique concept.

The village offers something new to tourists apart from the usual sightseeing. Whether you are a book lover or not, you should definitely visit Bhilar.

DAY 4 – A JOURNEY INTO THE PAST ERA

I always loved to visit historical places. It always interested me to learn about the past.

Situated at the base of Pratapgarh Fort is ‘SHIVKALIN KHEDEGAON’

It represents the culture and various aspects of village life, different trades, crafts and family life. Walk among the dioramas (full size statues) of farmers working in the field, cobblers, blacksmith, children playing traditional games, women drawing water from wells, temple of village deity and many more interesting stories that will surely enthrall you of the golden days.

The beauty of the place is in its simple details. For example, the model of the kitchen has an earthen chulha in it and all the utensils inside are made of brass. Also, the houses have cane baskets and women can be seen weaving grains in them. From mud houses to wooden wheels, everything here looks authentic which takes you in the past.

Entry fee is Rs 100 per person including a local guide. Our guide Vikram had profound knowledge and shared every minute information and happily answered our queries. He even helped us in clicking our photographs which he did with perfection. The ambience has a very rural setting and gives a rustic vibe of an era gone by.

We definitely recommend you to visit this traditional village. It is just 16 kilometers from Mahabaleshwar towards Pratapgarh fort.

VARIOUS DISPLAY OF DIORAMAS IN THE TRADITIONAL VILLAGE

DAY 5 – THE RETURN JOURNEY

With a heavy heart we packed our luggage the day before. A day which every traveler wishes shouldn’t have come. The roads have no end. They keep moving on but we have to return.

Steffe was committed to reaching home early. So, this day we had no plans of exploring. It was simply a long ride through the same route via Ambenali ghat.

The weather was pleasant. Clouds kept rolling into the valleys. Roaring cascades hurried down the slopes. Every few meters, we kept halting just to feel the crisp mountain air and see the enchanting views of deep wooded valleys. An abode of absolute solitude where only birds sang their melody with an occasional honking of a vehicle approaching a blind curve. We wanted to soak in the views to our content before we hit the highway.

There is a small tea stall run by a retiree at Kapde Khurd village , 10 kilometers before you reach the highway at Poladpur. He has his house built just on the banks of Savitri river. He happily agreed to let us pass through his home to reach the river. This was our last halt on the ghat. A bangle seller who often comes to the village to sell his colorful bangles also stopped for a tea. We spent a good time listening to many stories which the retiree had to share.

His house had washed away in the floods last year and also suffered huge losses. But to this moment he looked so content and satisfied and happy to serve his customers. For this very reason, I prefer stopping at stand alone stalls over hotels or dhabas. More than money, they want someone whom they can talk to. We are hungry for stories and don’t mind listening to them even if it costs us a tea at mid noon.

Bearing the heat and pain for four hours on the highway, we entered Panvel through JNPT road and it started raining very heavily. Flashlights beamed, roads flooded with vehicles, continuous honking and traffic all over. First time on this road trip, we wished we could reach home soon.

Absolutely awesome writing. Felt like i was on this journey with you guys. Lovely photography. Beautifully explained each and every moments. All the best for your future adventures👍🏽

Thank you Neha!!

Keep reading and roam the roads with us

– What a combination .. simple food on highway in monsoon weather – dal khichdi, bhakri, and thecha.. WOW! – Enroute information of Gandharpale Caves was good-to-read experience, like served extra in plate, out of the menu. – Description of flowers and herbs at Kaas Plateau was very useful information.

– It’s true, some moments can only be captured through our eyes – this reminds me of a scene from a movie called, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, where Walter Mitty (Ben Stiller) goes to Afghan Himalaya to meet Sean O’Connelley (Sean Penn), a photojournalist who is waiting there with his camera to capture a rare snow leopard’s photograph. When Walter Mitty meets Sean, following are their conversation when they get to see the snow leopard: Sean : “There is a snow leopard in this range so we have to try to be very very very very still. They call the snow leopard the Ghost Cat. Never let itself to be seen.” Walter Mitty : “Ghost Cat ?” Sean : “Beautiful things don’t ask for attention.” ( Snow leopard appears and Sean makes Walter Mitty see the snow leopard through his camera lens ) Walter Mitty : “When you gonna take it ?” Sean : “Sometimes I don’t, if I like a moment, I mean me, personally, I don’t like to have the distraction of the camera so I stay in it.”

Link to the scene of the movie : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmB8MZvWASo

I am glad, Clement, you came across such moment where you don’t feel like capturing the moment through camera lens but through your eyes. It must had been a wonderful feel to see a peacock in forest, enjoying monsoon, without any barrier.

– Good to know that you prefer visiting less travelled road places rather following famous tourist spots e.g. Swachh Bharat Point. – I read about Bhilar village known as ‘Pustkancha Gaav’ and I am glad to know that you visited this unique village.

Thank you for your recommendation of Mast Malvani and Shivkalin Khedegaon, will surely visit these places when will travel towards !

I have not come across any article or blog which describes Mahabaleshwar and Panchgani so simple and unique way.

Pleasing photographs and very well written and informative, Clement.

Thank you for sharing your travel experience with us through this blog ! Keep Exploring ! Keep Writing !
