Resorts in Panchgani

Resort in Panchgnai

Panchgani is one of the best hill stations amongst most places near Mumbai/Pune. Along with the nearby Mahabaleshwar, Panchgani is considered one of the "must-visit" hill stations in Maharashtra and tourists from nearby metros of Mumbai, Pune and other parts of Maharashtra, India as well as abroad throng this place to relax and rejuvenate their senses. It has generally been in the shadow of its more famous neighbor, Mahabaleshwar, yet it has its own tourist influx and often it is very difficult to find empty Hotels in Panchgani. The Krishna River, which cuts a meandering course through the smaller valleys below, keeps the valleys lush green through the year. The local municipal government declares it to be the "Switzerland of India" and Panchgani's beauty definitely gives this statement authenticity (maybe just the absence of snow). It is breathtaking to view the various hamlets and small villages waking at the crack of dawn and cultivating the numerous paddy fields on the plains below.
