Panchgani and Mahabaleshwar are ruslaan's hot spots
Since I studied in Panchgani and have lived there for seven years, I know its every nook and cranny. There are some things I do whenever I visit, which is very often.



I have to eat the superb oven-baked pizza that is made at Hotel Brightland. Every evening, we go to the Hindu Gymkhana in Mahabaleshwar to play badminton for hours.

When I was in school, we would sneak out, climb the Table Mountain and have a picnic on top. I still do this, and the mix of thrill and nostalgia is incredible. If you have the time and like trekking, go all the way to the Krishna River. It's a good three-hour trek, but is absolutely worth it.
