Panchgani is only a few kilometres along the way. You must visit the table top mountains. They are so called as unlike the pointed peaks of mountains these mountain tops are flat. Other than the table top, you can see the Sydney Point, Parsi Point and Devil’s Kitchen. Although not a tourist spot, we recommend a quick visit to the Mapro Garden for a delicious meal. You can try their grilled sandwiches and ice creams. There is a variety of sweets and syrups that you can pick up here.
