The way to Panchgani

Once you step out of the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj airport in Mumbai, Panchgani is about 250 km, a five-hour drive through contrasting landscapes. You begin your journey from the bustling city of Mumbai, the capital of the state of Maharashtra and considered the financial capital of India. You will pass through farmlands on the outskirts of Mumbai and through the hill town of Lonavala.

The city of Pune comes next, a rapidly growing industrial and educational hub, followed by some more farmland. Then you will reach the historic town of Wai, from where you start the climb to Panchgani through the western ghats of India.

“From the moment, I arrived at Bombay airport where I was met personally by Shabnam to the moment I left the Panchgani Writers’ Retreat, Shabnam and her team made me feel so welcome with her special personal care and attention to detail, my every need was taken care of.”
