Panchgani, a quintessential hill-station with the best boarding schools around
The site of the famous Table Land, Panchgani is a favorite destination for tourists in Maharashtra who may be visiting nearby Mahabaleshwar.
A quiet laid-back place, Panchgani is not for those who wish to paint the town red.
Rather, it is best to laze around, go for short hikes in the mountains and come back refreshed with the clean air and birdsong.
Most importantly, Panchgani is a tourist spot of all seasons, with different forms of natural beauty being manifested each time of the year.
Strawberries and related preserves are the best buys here.
