Panchgani, a hill station, Southeast of Mumbai, is a favourite among travellers, especially for the wildlife in Panchgani and around it which is flocked by hordes of tourists every year. Green and gorgeous, Panchgani is abundant with trees, flora, animals, and birds and there’s no dearth of wildlife tours in Panchgani ensuring you explore every nook and corner to satisfy your love for nature.
Some of the most popular destinations are Koyna Wildlife Sanctuary, which is a short distance away from Panchgani but certainly worth a visit. Another interesting destination is Serbaug, ideally a resort but with a theme park which houses a unique fossil museum and a rare cacti collection. Doom Dam, although not essentially a wildlife spot, makes for a good opportunity to spot snakes, elephants, deer, and others, who saunter through the dense greenery.
Spread across Panchgani, Mahabaleshwar and other parts of Satara, destinations for wildlife in Panchgani are unique in their own way, and can easily be travelled to by Jeep or private car. If you’re lucky, you’ll also spot some fauna by the side of the gently flowing rivers and cascading waterfalls of Panchgani.
