  • The weather can get a little unpredictable at times, so carry along proper clothing and an umbrella/raincoat with you.
  • If you’re planning on trekking around Mahabaleshwar, carry shoes with a comfortable grip. Even though the climb is easy, it’d always come in handy.
  • Monsoon season is peak season and hotels are usually expensive during this point. In case you plan on travelling to Mahabaleshwar during the monsoon period, advance booking would reduce the hassle and inconvenience.
  • Exploring at night is not suggested as the hill station is less populated. It’s quite a safe area, but unless you go in groups, travelling at night wouldn’t be an ideal option.

Places to visit in mahabaleshwar in maharashtra.

Mahabaleshwar! As the name forms a religious and divine image in our mind, it is indeed a place of pilgrimage for Hindus. Besides the temple, it is a large beautiful hill station located at an altitude of 1,372 meters. This place is a vast plateau bound by valleys on all sides. The steep hills and green valleys of Mahabaleshwar are a popular retreat from the chaos and pollution of Mumbai and Pune.

Well known for its strawberries and Chikki, this place enchants many religious tourists. This region is the main source of the Krishna River that flows across Maharashtra, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, and Karnataka. The Krishna, as well as the temple here, attracts people from far and wide.

It is located approximately 120 km from Pune and is well connected by road. You can either hire a cab or drive in your own car. Traveling by road is the most preferred and convenient way to reach this beautiful destination.

History of Mahabaleshwar

The place has a significant history. Tracing back the findings of the historians it is said that the name originated in the early years of 12th CE. It was when the King Singhan of Devgiri visited Old Mahabaleshwar and built a small temple and a water tank at the source of the Krishna River . Since Lord Shiva also known as Lord Mahabali had been enshrined in the temple, the town was named Mahabaleshwar.

Foggy Monsoons of Mahabaleshwar

However, it was the British who turned this town into a spectacular hill station. Under General Peter Lodwick and Sir John Malcolm, the Governor of Bombay, a sanatorium was built here in 1828. Mahabaleshwar was then considered a British territory and was even named ‘Malcolm Peth’ for some years. Under British rule, the place was developed in a great way. From roads to resorts, everything was built in an organized manner. In the 19 th century, an open jail reformatory center was established. Convicts from China and Malaysia were stationed here.

They were involved in constructing roads, grinding corn flour, maintaining potato cultivations, and other vegetable gardens in English resorts. At present you will find, the Public Works Department Bungalow at the prison’s location. And with this, the place was soon titled, the summer capital of the Bombay Presidency.
