- 5 years ago
The Western Ghats, Deccan plateau and Deccan traps as viewed from Panchgani!
Located on the route to Mahabaleshwar, Parsi Point in Panchganj offers splendid views of the Krishna Valley and the waters of the Dhom Dam.
Panchgani is a magnificent hill station under the municipal council of Satara district in Maharashtra, India. It is nestled in the middle of five hills in the Sahyādri mountain ranges, also there are five villages around the Pachgani are Dandeghar,Khingar,Godwali, Amral & Taighat . The temperature in Panchgani is around 12C during the winter, and sometimes reaches 34C during the summer; however the humidity level is very low. The Monsoon rains hit here hardest and the rainy season spans between June and February, allowing the region three months of relatively dry and sunny spring. The five hills surrounding Panchgani are topped by a volcanic plateau, which is the second highest in Asia after the Tibetan plateau. These plateaus, alternatively known as "table land", are a part of the Deccan Plateau and they were raised by pressure between the earth plates. The area has high seismic activity, with an epicentre near Koynānagar where the Koynanagar Dam and a hydroelectric power plant have been built.
Scenic Panchgani was discovered by the British during the British Raj as a summer resort, and a superintendent named John Chesson was placed in charge of the hill station in the 1860s. He is credited with planting many plant species from the western world in Panchgani, including silver oak and poinsettia, which have flourished since then in Panchgani. Panchgani attracts many tourists throughout the year. A well-known Ganesh Temple is located close by in Wai. Panchgani is known for its many boarding schools established since the late 19th century. They attract students from the nearby cities of Mumbai and Pune, and also from abroad.
