Mahabaleshwar a place which cannot be described in words . If you wanna get rid of heat and pollution of Mumbai aka Bombay do visit mahabaleshwar .

There are also various site seeings like table point , echo point , old temples etc . One can also enjoy horse riding at mahabaleshwar .


Mahabaleshwar is also famous for its variety's of CHIKKIS and different fruit crushes like Apple , strawberry , kiwi , banana , chikoo , mix fruit etc .

When u start a journey taking gods permission its always beautiful. The journey to mahabaleshwar from pune is indeed memorable as it passes tunnel high hills. And many more, but the best part comes when u climb a hill through its roads it looks like u r walking on the sargams from saa to ni then saa and returning back to saa again. And when the wheels revolve and take u within the clouds not the fogg. And u can feel the drops of rain in ur hand. The mahabaleshwar panchgani and the sightscene is best for a short vaccation and weekend trips. It some time feel u are on the sky walking on paradise. Having the greenary through eyes. It will give one surely a visual treatment.


Mahabaleshwar - best destination for weekend fun
Oct 21, 2016 10:26 AM 4933 Views (via Android App)

Mahabaleshwar is great place to visit , specially in winter. I loved to visit many tourism points like arther seat point, kates point, elephant point, wilson point, and many more. You can enjoy horse riding, mapro garden, sunset. Boat riding.


You can see the strawbery farming. Even you can taste the fresh strawberys which comes directly from local farm.


Enjoy street shopping at evening at town bazar. The nightlife is great. Shopping in mahabaleshwar can be a fascinating experience.


There are so many hotels and resorts where you can stay and enjoy with your loved ones.

Best Place in Earth to go for
Oct 20, 2016 12:19 PM 5935 Views

The trip to Mahabaleshwar can't be explain in terms of language or words.


I travel recently this month and I must tell you the view and atmosphere is too great that I had never seen such views in my life the best combination of friendship we can say of Sky, Earth and mountain.


We can't see any thing because we can touch clouds by hand and there are also few tourist place I request to book a hotel while you go there because there is a lot to see one day will not be a sufficient for you that is for sure.


I will go next time definetly because the cost is very low compare to other trips, You have to select the hotel which are reasonable because you may get few hotels which they charge very high but please be aware of such hotels.


I think this place is suitable for every one but especially for the couples or newly married couples.

Mahabaleshwar is the source of the Krishna River that flows across Maharashtra, Karnataka, Telangana and Andhra Pradesh. The legendary source of the river is a spout from the mouth of a statue of a cow in the ancient temple of Mahadev in Old Mahabaleshwar. Legend has it that Krishna is Lord Vishnu himself as a result of a curse on the trimurtis by Savitri. Also, its tributaries Venna and Koyna are said to be Lord Shiva and Lord Brahma themselves. An interesting thing to notice is that 4 other rivers come out from the cow's mouth apart from Krishna and they all travel some distance before merging into Krishna.Behind Panchganga temple, there is a small trail that leads to Krishnabai temple where the Krishna river is worshiped. It is built on the hilltop overlooking the Krishna valley and was built in 1888 by a ruler of Ratnagiri on the Konkancoast. The temple has a Shiva lingam and a beautiful statue of Krishna. A small stream of the river flowing from a cow-face(gomukh) falls on a'Kunda' or water tank. Stone carved columns and ceilings are the special characteristics of this temple. This old temple has gathered moss and is in ruins. It is not visited much by tourists and is isolated. But it provides a most exquisite view of the river Krishna.Named because of the natural sculpture of the stones which looks like three monkeys sitting beside each other and portraying 3 monkeys of Gandhiji. Nestled deep in the valleys one can figure out from the outline of a big stone a natural cut out it give an effect of 3 monkey sitting next to each other portraying the Three Wise Monkeys. This point is on route to Arthur's Seat.Mahabaleshwar is beautiful place in Maharashtra.

It is a excellent weekend destination from and is a must vist place during the monsoon, though you can visit any time during the Year. You would enjoy the Mapro Garden and the wonderful drinks offered for tasting, off course you can buy a few you like. Enjpy the windy and cool points together with some special temples at Mahabaleshwar. You can even visit Panchangani, though it doesn't offer a lot. Make sure you take a Cab from Pune or travel by you own vehicle. The local Taxi Tours are useless and expensive. Completely avoid booking the cabs from the hotels.

Excellent Place For Couples!!
Aug 25, 2016 04:36 PM 14411 Views (via Mobile)

Hello,


Great vacation spot. One of the best slope station in India. In mid of summer i.e. in april, may the temp is beneath 15-16 C during the evening and you will feel chill there. There are more than 15 focuses where by you can go and see the slopes, ghats and so forth only 130 km from Pune, can reach there in three hours.


Never miss to see the nightfall point and elephant point which are the best place to see. Some water falls are there, yet they run just in blustery season, in summer they used to get went away. Mahabaleswar of well known for strawberry and berrbery. Taxicab costs in Mahabaleswar is pretty much settled, 2000 rupee for every day.


Drivers are client situated and converse with the guests graciously. Want to book lodging ahead of time as in week closures it's intensely swarmed. In stormy season you can appreciate the mists streaming just aboce your head. Sustenance is profoundly costly in Mahabaleswar so lean toward flying out minimal outside to eat or supper. Can purchase great assortments of Kashmiri things in the principle market which used to get opened upto night 10 PM.


The vast majority of the couple visit the spot for wedding trip.


My favourite hill station
Aug 25, 2016 04:27 PM 42616 Views

Mahabaleshwar is really a beautiful place. we have our trip once in a year to mahabaleshwar . We usually go their in summer season. Because, summer is a hot season and mahabaleshwar is on the top of hills so that place is very cool at summer season, so we usually prefer to go in summer season only. My trip is with my family. I have visited most of hill stations, but I like the mahabaleshwar very much. The climate over there is awesome. My all family members love mahabaleshwar. My kids also love to visit over there. We always go with our car. We spend very good and loving days over there. The hotel we stay is very nice one, they have very good facilities. We all love to eat strawberry ice cream over there. We visit all points over there and one of our favourite point is sunset point. I think everyone who want to visit hill station, should once go to mahabaleshwar. I am sure they will love it. It is very nice place for newly married couples. Anyway everyone can go there, it is also good place for heart patients.Because they get fresh air. Many of my friends and relatives have also visited to mahabaleshwar. They too love this place very much.Thus I love mahabaleshwar because climate over there is awesome.

Never Go To Mahabaleshwar In Monsoon
Jul 11, 2016 06:33 PM 8642 Views

Hi,


I have recently went on 7-july-2016 to mahableshwar with my friends. We didn't get to see any point because of fog and too much rainy. Many of stall are closed down in rainy season. We cannot enjoy market also too. In mapro garden we didn't to see strawberry farms. Never buy CHIKKI near by mapro garden buy from mahableshwar market. Always take rooms in main market only.


Is full of waste of money and time. My option is to go in month of March to may.

Mahabaleshwar is a picturesque hill town located in the state of Maharashtra and is often referred to as the queen of hills. The English discovered this beautiful hill station and made it the summer capital of erstwhile Bombay presidency. Winter, summer and monsoon are the main seasons.Weather in Mahabaleshwar is great for eight months of the year- from October to June. Only the monsoon season is a dampener, but short trips even during this time could be a good idea if you enjoy the rain

Mahabaleshwar is on the most famous destination for the tripping. The places there like the table lands, the waterfalls , the sunset point , the small caves , etc. The best time to visit is during the summer I reccomend not to go during rainy and winter because it is very humid there and causes a lot of water everywhere in the rooms in the nights.
