Mahabaleshwar & Panchgani from Navi Mumbai - Area-Wise Distance and Cab Fare☎ Call +91 96196 19164
Mahabaleshwar is the standard two-day escape from Navi Mumbai: expressway till Khed Shivapuri, then Wai and the Panchgani ghat. Panchgani sits 19 km earlier on the same road, so most families do both in one booking.

Two-day plan
- Day 1: 6 AM start, breakfast at Khed Shivapuri, Panchgani Table Land by noon, Mahabaleshwar market and Venna Lake evening
- Day 2: sunrise at Wilson Point, Arthur Seat, Elephant Head, Pratapgarh Fort, back by 8 PM
