About This Tour Package
Starting from Daund, this package is run by Aman Tours and Travels, a local operator based at Varvand, Tq. Daund. Pick-up is available from Daund city, Daund railway station, Kurkumbh, Yavat, Patas and nearby villages.
Mahabaleshwar and Panchgani are the best-known hill stations of western Maharashtra, with cool weather, dense forests, valley views and the famous strawberry farms. They are popular with families, couples and groups who want a refreshing break from the city.
In this package your cab and driver stay with you for the entire holiday. On the first day we drive up the ghat to Mahabaleshwar and cover Venna Lake, the Old Mahabaleshwar temples, Arthur’s Seat, Elphinstone Point and Wilson Point. On the second day you can visit Pratapgad Fort, enjoy fresh strawberries, and head to Panchgani for Table Land and Parsi Point before starting the return journey.
The ghat roads can be foggy and wet during the monsoon, so an experienced driver makes a real difference. We recommend Ertiga, Innova Crysta or Scorpio for the climb, and Tempo Traveller for larger groups. October to June is the best season, while the monsoon offers misty views and waterfalls. We help you choose timings so that you avoid the heaviest weekend traffic.
Unlike a fixed group tour, this package lets you set the speed of the holiday. If you want to spend more time at the lake or skip a viewpoint because of fog, you simply tell the driver. Couples can add a sunrise point visit, and families can plan extra time for strawberry picking and children’s activities. Because the cab stays with you in the hill station, you also avoid the long wait for local taxis that tourists often face in the peak season.
Tips for the holiday: carry light woollens for the evenings even in summer, and rain jackets from June to September. The best time for strawberries is from December to March. Some viewpoints close in heavy rain, so please check conditions in advance. Entry fees and boating charges are paid on the spot, and early morning visits give the clearest views of the valleys.
From Daund the journey is around 195 km and 4.5 to 5 hours with stops. We usually go via Pune and Satara road, and recommend a two-day plan so that you are not rushed on the ghat.
From Daund, the tour starts at a time that suits your destination so that you reach before crowds build up. Because our vehicles are based locally, pick-ups are punctual and you do not need to travel to Pune first.
