There’s a reason why the British chose Panchgani as a favourite summer resort.
Make that many reasons. The name means five hills and the beautiful mountains
make this the perfect getaway from Mumbai when you want respite from the noise,
heat and pace of the city. The mountain air is pure and Panchgani enjoys mild
weather through the year. As winter creeps up, it turns colder, adding to its
charms. So, pull on your warm clothes and head for the higher climes of
Panchgani, where you can take quiet walks amidst woods where the silver oak
stands. At this time of year, the poinsettia begins to bloom as well,
brightening the hillside with its hues.
While
slowing down and watching the mist roll across the mountains is most people’s
idea of a break in Panchgani, there’s plenty to do and see as well. Sydney
Point, situated on a hillock facing the Krishna Valley, is a perfect spot from
which to take in views of the Dhom Dam and Pandavgad. Visit also Table Land, an
imposing expanse of laterite rock, considered the second longest mountain
plateau in Asia. Stop for scenic views at Parsi Point en route Mahabaleshwar.
Devil’s Kitchen, at the southern end of Table Land, is wrapped in myth and
worth taking a look at. It is believed that the Pandavas made the place their
home for a while and also created the Pandavgad caves nearby.
