Hyderabad To Mahabaleshwar

Mahabaleshwar Tour

Post by Manikumar | Mumbai | May 31, 2006

From mumbai or pune by road. Lots of tourist buses are available. The taxi people over here are very helpful. Any time in night you can roam about without any fear. Do not get into the water at any lake or pools for more than half an hour even in the afternoon.

Eco Friendly destination

First time travelers, it is good you take public/private bus trnasportation as it is not so safe to drive, not bcoz of road conditions but due to very deep curves which going up to top of the mountain called Mahabaleshwar, to avoid invite unfortunate accident. Visitors can enter wither from pune or pane side. it is ~150 KMs from mumbai. it's better to take train to pune or atleat till Mumbai for out station visitors then rest can be travelled through road. Do propoer planning before starting sight seings. There is only 2 directions you have to plan 1) Towards Pratap Garh 2) Panchgini. Even for Pratap Garh, public bus is avaialbe from bus depot [which in the centre of market]. Visiting Pratap Garh is half day tour, but exauhstive so better take rest during remaining day. Atmost visit market in evening b/w 6-9 PM. thera lots of attraction on the way to Panchgini such as Strawbery Gardens, Amusement Park, Lord Shiva Temple, Venna Lake and most popular Mapro & Mala factory. Againg this is half day tour so have good rest during other half. Do proper bargain before hiring cabs [which is the only option] for sight seings to avoid unpleasent arguments at the end of the day. Mostly full day cab [9AM to 6PM] will charge Rs 1500 which has capacity to accommodate 2 families.
