Panchgani derives its name from the five hills around it. At an altitude of 1334 m it is just 38 m below Mahabaleshwar. These 38 m translate themselves into a breathtaking 20 kms approach from Mahabaleshwar, that swoops around bends with abandon, offering heart stopping views of the river krishna on one side & the coastal plains on the other. Panchgani is the quintessential hill station, with the Raj stamped indelibly all over it. It can be seen in the old architecture of the old British buildings, the parsi houses, & the boarding schools that have been for a century or more.

Panchgani means 'five hills' in the native language and is named after the five hills that encompass the place, just 34 metres below Mahabaleshwar in Satara District of Maharashtra. At an altitude of 1334 metres, it is drained with river Krishna on one side while with the coastal plains on the other. Panchgani swings in the nature's cradle with beautiful and picturesque locations, ancient British buildings, Parsi houses, caves, Kamalgad Fort and Table Land. The walkways, lush green vegetation, silent lanes and the crystal clear water of River Krishna make up the most enchanting sceneries in India.
