About Panchgani Tourism
Nestling between five hills in the Krishna valley, Panchgani (1,334 m) is flanked by the second highest volcanic mountain plateau in Asia
on one side and jagged cliffs on the other. It is a neat,
colonial-style town, cradled by green coastal plains and the River
Krishna.This pretty hill-station in the Sahaydri hills is close to Pune and Mahabaleshwar.
It was a favourite summer retreat for the British and wealthy Parsi
families. It also has several well-known boarding schools, set up from
the British times. Panchgani
has some popular treks through its lush green forests and valleys. You
can take pleasant walks or cycle- and pony-rides through the oak
forests and enjoy picnics by the banks of the River Krishna that snakes
its way through the area.
