Staying in Panchgani
Panchgani is smaller and quieter than nearby Mahabaleshwar, and it works as a weekend getaway from Mumbai and Pune. Table Land, a large flat plateau, is the best-known spot for horse riding and picnics, and viewpoints such as Sydney Point and Parsi Point look out over the hills. The climate is pleasant through the year, with temperatures dropping in winter. The town has a range of hotels, from luxury resorts to budget stays, and it is well-connected by road.
These hotels sit across several parts of town. Khinger Road, Janni Mata Road and Bhilar Road are outside the centre, while Ruighar Mahu Dam Road, Panchgani Mahabaleshwar Road and Bhim Nagar are nearer the middle, with "km_to_centre" running from 0.5 to 4.6. It suits couples and families on a short break who want space and privacy, and travellers combining Panchgani with Mahabaleshwar about 20 km away, more than a business trip.
