Pune to Panchgani – Complete Guide
Panchgani, whose name means five hills, is a small hill station in the Satara district that has kept a quieter and more old-fashioned feel than its famous neighbour Mahabaleshwar. Its signature attraction is the Table Land, one of the largest volcanic plateaus in Asia, which gives open views and a place for horse rides and paragliding in season. Old boarding schools, colonial bungalows and tree-lined roads give the town a distinctive character.
The hill station is close to Pune, only about 100 km, and a day trip is quite practical, though an overnight stay lets you enjoy the evenings. The area is known for strawberries, mulberries and honey, and roadside stalls sell fresh fruit in season. A cab is especially convenient because the viewpoints are spread out and Panchgani is best explored without hurry. You can also combine it with Wai, Pratapgad and Mahabaleshwar for a longer holiday.
The route from Pune. From Pune, take the NH48 highway to Surur, turn west to Wai and climb the Pasarni Ghat to Panchgani. The ghat road is scenic and has several bends, so we plan to cross it in daylight. In monsoon, the road may be foggy, so drivers slow down.

Tell us how much time you want at each stop. Our driver will keep a track of the time and remind you politely so that you can reach home as planned.
