Travel to PanchganiCategory:-All India Travel Tourism > Maharashtra > Hill Stations > Panchgani  A close neighbour of
Mahabaleshwar, Panchgani is a picturesque and frequented hill resort. This is
an ideal base for some good trekking. Situated at an altitude of 1334m, it gets
its name from the five hills around it. Tucked away in Satara district, it is
best approached from Pune. The way to Panchgani from Mahabaleshwar, which is 18
kms, is absolutely spectacular. The Krishna River that meanders through the farms,
ravines and hamlets on one side and the coastal plains on the other side has a
special charm. Panchgani displays architecture of Old British buildings and Parsi
houses. Horses are the best mode of travelling, which will gently gallop you through
the thick, lush green trees, to unmarked routes, to the caves and the Kamalgad
fort. The bazaar is also a place worth visiting. For long distances though taxis
are available, bicycles and horses are the best mode of transport.
