Mahabaleshwar Day 2

We left in the morning for Panchgani. On the way, we took halt at two places. At one place there was a very nice farm of sugarcane, Strawberry, Mulberry etc. And also there was a garden of flowers. Looking at the structure of the farm and the garden I missed my Farmville on facebook. :D

Next halt was at a garden cum food center. We left again with a lot of photography and my favorite strawberry with cream. Then we took a guide to watch the places or rather “points” (the word often used there) at Panchgani.

We saw Parsi point at where I was extremely happy after seeing the nature. The view was like a nature picture we would draw in school. It had all – river, mountains, farms, farm-houses, all greenery, sky with all the colors and the sun. The perfect view.

Then we visited around 4 points which were the same as above Parsi point but with different angles. :-s That time we felt we were cheated. Anyway, not to lose the charm of the trip, we moved to the river which we saw in the view of Parsi point. It was not a single river but the meeting point of two rivers – Krushna and Savitri. And it was awesome. There we did speed boating which was again the best thing of the day. I loved it.

Then we went to a temple of Vaai – Mahaganpati Temple. The specialty of the temple is that the Ganpati Idol decreases in height by an inch every year. :D Anyway, the temple was good. The eyes of the idol were watching something on the roof of the temple. I asked someone there. But nobody made any story out of it. :P
Then we moved to Table-land. It is the most well-known place of the Panchgani. There we saw some points again like foot stamps of Pandavas, Pandava cave, one-tree point, shooting point, palankhet (a town from the movie Raja Hindustani), Asha Bhosle’s hotel, etc. These people have made all the places related to some movie or some film-star as different points. Nice Strategy of business. The good example of it was – one tree point. There was only one tree on Table land, and hence that was one-tree point. There were 2-3 more trees on other side of table land. When I asked the guide about it, he simply ignored. :P

Whatever it was – I enjoyed. I liked to see all the points/places. We also did lot of shopping of eatables like strawberry crush, some chikkis, honey etc. I also bought a slingshot there. :D
