Spend A Memorable Weekend At The Panchgani Hotels Surrounded By Nature!
Situated in the state of Maharashtra, Panchgani is the twin hill station of Mahabaleshwar. The name Panchgani is derived from the fact, that when it was discovered by the British and it was eventually decided by them to develop it, it was surrounded by five villages namely Khingar, Godavli, Dhandeghar, Amral, and Taighat.
Those who have some knowledge of botany will be surprised at the variety of trees that are found in Panchgani. The town owes this to Superintendent John Chesson who is accredited with the development of this beautiful hill station. Chesson introduced a large number of new plant species from the West to Panchgani, including the Silver Oak and Poinsettia. It is this selfless and amazing foresight of Chesson that has made Panchgani what it is today.

Also known as Dalkieth, this place was the only hope for hundreds who suffered from the disease up until the introduction of antibiotics.
