14 Best Panchgani Resorts

If you want to see the old world charm of yore come alive you have to head out to Panchgani. Located in the Satara District of Maharashtra, this charming hill station derives its name from the five hills that surround it. What makes these hills special is that their tops are totally flat, almost like a table top! No wonder then, that these are called table lands. Offering gorgeous views of the Krishna River on one side and the vast coastal plains on the other, the table lands are a truly beautiful sight to witness. The way to these table lands is decorated with lush forests on both sides and cold wind of the mountains of the Western Ghats whooshing past.

The lush fields of strawberries dance merrily in the wind and the tops of the mountains kiss the misty clouds, who reach down to provide a canopy over them. Tiny hamlets dot as you cruise through the mountains of this hill station, and an occasional colonial house lurks at the corner of every turn you make. Famous for its numerous boarding schools, Panchgani appears to be that town you read about in old classic English novels. You can spot wares of the land at the Panchgani Market, where you can get everything from chappals to fresh vegetables.

Resorts in Panchgani retain this old world charm as they offer comfortable accommodations and plush amenities in a traditional warmth yet contemporary style!
