Why go to Panchgani

Table Land plateau, old British-era boarding schools and valley views. A gentler alternative to Mahabaleshwar, with one of Asia's longest mountain plateaus for slow walks.

Is it worth it?

If you have three days in Pune, Panchgani fits in as a relaxed day trip without cutting into the city. With two days, we'd keep to Pune itself.
