PANCHGANI (How to Reach There )
Road & Rail: Pune is a popular railway station for tourists to Panchgani at a distance of 98 km. Though the railway station nearest to Panchgani happens to be Wathar on the central railway, Panchgani is well linked and much closer Mumbai by road.
If you go by train, there are only 2 trains which stop and panchgani 1. Koyna Express and 2. Sahyadri Express.
Both these train will take at least 6 hours of time to reach Wathar Station from Mumbai.
If you go by road, Panchgani is 270 km from Mumbai via Pune highway and 266 km from Mumbai via Mahad highway.
The total distance between Mumbai to Panchgani would be about 265 kms. It is approximately a 5 hours drive from Mumbai. One way would be to go via Mahad but the best bet instead would be the famous Mumbai Pune Express Highway. A word of advice here, that, though the road is lucrative and appealing please don’t overspeed and keep it between 80 and 90 kmph. You can break for refreshments on the Food Mall or Food Plaza on the Expressway.
At the end of the Expressway you take the road to bypass the Pune city with the Highway that takes you to directly to Katraj. After passing Katraj Ghat the pleasant drive continues and you come to the scenic Khambatki Ghat. Once you come down the Khambatki Ghat keep on to the improved highway till you come across ‘Surur Faata’ on your right. It takes you to Wai, which is on the foothills of Panchgani, this road is really enjoyable with its own hamlet feeling and farms by the road.
Wai is famous for its ‘Pedhas’ and the ‘Dholya Ganpati’- a huge statue of Lord Ganesh. Just after you get out of the small town of Wai, starts the picturesque ‘Pasarni Ghat’. This is the last milestone on your journey towards Panchgani and you know not by the boards that you are in Panchgani, but the cold breeze that touches your cheeks.
