About the trip

Mahabaleshwar is a hill station in the Sahyadri range, known for strawberries, viewpoints over deep valleys and the source of the Krishna river. Mumbai families go for cool weather, boating on Venna Lake and a quiet weekend. Nearby Panchgani and Pratapgad Fort add more to see. The drive follows the Mumbai–Pune expressway, then the Satara road and a ghat climb past Wai.
