Parsi Point is an excellent viewpoint and picnic spot for families to relax and enjoy scenic beauty. Surrounded by lush green forests and valleys of Dhom Dam, this location provides spectacular views of the Krishna River and the Sahyadri Mountains. Make sure to arrive early to avoid crowds and enjoy the serene atmosphere.
Mapro Garden is a wonderful attraction for families. With a range of food, shopping, and outdoor activities, it ensures an entertaining day trip. The garden presents numerous food options like sandwiches, pizzas, and delicious ice creams that can be relished with a cup of strawberry shake, a local favourite. There's a chocolate factory and kids play area, and visitors must not miss out on the delicious strawberry jam and fudge sold here.
If you have more time, head to the Lingmala Waterfall, and if you're an adventure junkie, then you can go trekking in the Panchgani Hills. Visiting Elephant's Head Point and Wilson Point before or after the suggested itinerary is an excellent way to spend your day. If you have less time, prioritize Mapro Garden, as it offers a variety of family activities in a single location. Do carry sunscreen, comfortable walking shoes and a water bottle to avoid dehydration. Don't forget to try Mapro Garden's fresh strawberry cream, as it's a local specialty!
