Journey Roadmap:

Morning Safari with Rathore Adventures
We kicked off our day with an epic open-jeep jungle safari guided by Sahil from Rathore Adventures (📞 +91 7743877644). Deep within Panchgani’s wild terrain, we reached a secret hilltop point with surreal views of Mahabaleshwar, Elephant Head Point, and surrounding Sahyadri peaks.

Strawberry Farm Stop
On our way back, we came across a hidden local RAW strawberry farm, where we hand-plucked the freshest, juiciest strawberries — a true farm-to-mouth experience!

Bhuteshwar ANCIENT Temple – the Spiritual Gem
Next, we explored the mystical Bhuteshwar Shiva Temple. Believed to be from the Mahabharata era, this ancient temple sits quietly inside the jungle — raw, sacred, and off-the-grid.

Buffet Breakfast at Ravine Hotel & Checkout
We returned to Ravine Hotel, Panchgani, for a buffet breakfast with a valley view before checking out and heading toward Elephant Head Point for a final mountain viewpoint shot.

Return Journey via NH66
Ending the trip, we hit the NH66 Highway for our return to Mumbai — capturing the road conditions, scenic ghat shots, and giving our final thoughts on the entire trip.


Why This Trip Felt Special

This wasn't a typical tourist trail. It was raw, peaceful, and spiritual — all while traveling with family. The jungle paths were wild (yes, our guide even said panthers have been spotted here), the strawberries were fresh, and the temple had an energy we’ll never forget.
