Heart-warming 3 Days 2 Nights Mahabaleshwar Tour Package

City Hotel 3

Mahabaleshwar, located in the lap of the Sahyadris, has been a popular haunt for city dwellers for centuries. From officers of the British Raj to the modern day common man, the city has attracted weary urbanites craving some rest and relaxation far from the madding crowd. The hill station is a short drive away from both Mumbai and Pune with the nearest city being Satara, 45 km away. Your drive to Mahabaleshwar will be scenic with beautiful valleys and ghats en route. The hill station was designed to be a health resort to revive the spirits of homesick Englishmen and bring respite from the heat and grime of the cities. On your first evening in Mahabaleshwar, you could go to Venna Lake, a beloved spot for tourists and locals alike. Cruise on the lake or try some of the delicious street food sold on the shores of the lake.

Head to Arthur’s Seat before dawn to watch the sun rise over the Savitri River; the perfect start to your day. Mahabaleshwar has many viewing points such as Wilson Point, Elephant Point and Kate’s Point from where you can see the Krishna River and valley below. A short drive from the town is Old Mahabaleshwar, known for its ancient temples and for being the source of the Krishna. The Panchganga is said to be the oldest. Said to be over 4500 years old, the temple in its present form was built by Shivaji Maharaj. Another must visit destination in the village is the Mahabaleshwar Temple dedicated to Lord Shiva and built in 1215 AD.

Watch the sunrise over the hills and enjoy a lazy brunch at the hotel. Load up on strawberries and cream, a Mahabaleshwar speciality, and head back home.
