Gureghar Nature Trail

Reviewed By EkMusafir - Pune, India

Triveni Point and Gureghar Nature Trail is one of the lesser known attractions of Mahabaleshwar, maybe because it is at a little distance away from the hill station. It is located bang opposite Mapro Garden, which is a major attraction for shopping and dining, on the Panchagani – Mahabaleshwar Road. Most of the tourists visit Mapro Garden and overlook the Gureghar Nature Trail, and hence miss out on one of the most beautiful points of Mahabaleshwar, the Triveni Point, which lies at the end of the 1 km long trail. We entered through a small gate leading to the trail. Vehicles are not allowed inside. We walked at a leisurely pace up the narrow winding stony pathway which was gently sloping upwards. At times the slope would get steeper and there are rocks and stones on the path. There are trees and bushes on both sides of the trail and we were literally walking in a jungle. Some of the trees had a placard with their common and botanical names attached to them, like jambul, hirda, gella and pissa. There were stone benches at regular intervals so we could rest for a while. After walking about 20 minutes we reached the watch tower which is the Triveni Point. We got an excellent 360 degree view of the whole Panchgani Mahabaleshwar plateau from here. It is an easy to do trail by people of all age groups. We started on the trail at around 11 am and were back on the highway at noon. We did not encounter any other tourist on the way. We had only the birds and the bees, trees and forest for company. It is a beautiful place to experience nature at its best. Do remember to wear your trekking shoes and carry your camera when you visit, and not to litter the trail with your garbage.

Peb Fort

Reviewed By Sairajpalav - Mumbai, India

Totally underestimated this trek to be an easy one but after completing this trek I would rate it to be moderate one. There are two ways to reach this fort , one by taking the toy train railroute and the other is from Fanaswadi village. I would suggest you to start your trek by taking the Fanaswadi route and trek all the way to the top. First stop we took was at a Temple, then we continued towards the Peb fort. The view from top is just mesmerizing with lush green mountains. We took the rail route to get back to Neral station. Best time to visit this fort would be during the monsoons. _ _ _ I would like to request you all to not throw your garbage anywhere and destroy the beauty of the place. Instead keep a litter bag with you and hang on to litter until you find a garbage receptacle._ _ _

Talajai Hill

Reviewed By Alaka10 - Portland, United States

This time we came upon a new trail system in Pune. Taljai traul was always there but now it is very well developed, kept clean and is quite enjoyable. I heard that the teail goes to Sinhgad too though we did not go but this is a teail system for every age group. you can do 1 loop or multiple loops, there are quite a few trails. There is no trail map that I found so you have to make sure you are on the right track by asking people. we saw plump pigs . You also see peacocks on this trail. There is a new park by the taljai trail and this park is well maintained and has beautiful flowers. We also saw a nice sunrise from the road up to taljai temple.
