Table Land is a flat piece of land i.e plateau .The time you enter the parking ,there will be few people after you trying to fleece you for horse rides.They will ask for the Panchgani Municipality Tax Receipt and will tell there is a demo horse ride included in the ticket .Also they will tell it is not possible to cover the land on foot. Once you are in ,they will take you on a horse for some 200 mts and then ask for the package .One package with 4 points and another with 9 points .They will show some official rate card also and say it is approved by Government. 4 points package was for Rs 1200 and 9 points for Rs 2400 per person :D .Now you start bargaining . And now coming to the points to view - Five different plateaus which give it the name Panchgani One tree at the end of the plateau where one song in Raja Hindustani film was filmed - One tree Point One lake made from Rain water View of Krishna and Savitri river merging. Tiger Caves - A restaurant in a cave . Another restaurant in cave. A green area where some more films were shot . Thats it ! This place is a must visit but be careful of the people waiting to fleece you .They will just exaggerate what is there . The ride will take around an hour on horse back .Please think over the price for an hour of horse ride for the above places.

Beyond the eye can see and the senses can fathom..... vast undulating flatland with a lake in the middle. The water is cool and clean.. Horses with tourists plod alongside, taking them on a paid roundabout. We walked for a bit. Till date, I haven't been able to complete even 50% of the Tableland area. I guess one can spend an entire day there. There is always a cool breeze blowing in summer; in winters its a chilly but pleasant and welcoming wind blowing. Adults will enjoy taking a pleasant walk, no traffic sounds or pollution to disturb... Kids will enjoy running up and down, especially where is no fear of traffic....

Large expanse of land with beautiful views. If visiting in cooler months in mornings and evenings, and healthy, please consider taking an hour or 90 minutes walk. We went around 10 am in May and though the sun was onto us the breeze was cool almost towards the end till 11:30 am. We took the horse ride. We had a local guide for the day long trip but he got us on the horses and the horse guide took over. They don't tell you the charges at the start.. Neither did I insist to know there, I went with the flow. When we reached from the parking area to the start of table land we were given an idea of what would he shown, a long trip entailing almost all stops costing approx 3k and a shorter one around 30 minutes costing 1.6k. I later checked tripnadvisor and found warnings all over about these fake charges. I hope others check before going and avoid getting duped. Bargain hard to something around 1000 rs for the complete ride. Ask if they will stop and accompany as per your wish and where you would be dropped back. Get ther terms absolutely cleared We were told that The horse guide would be there with us throughout and get us down and show both caves on the way. The horse guides are probably needed to point out the Sydney point, harrisons folly etc that can be seen from the table. Rest talk is all dedicated to which movie was shot where which we were least bothered about. They dropped us off at the shiva cave and asked us to go ourselves and to walk back to the parking area. The horses are well trained and the ride is long and good. The place is beautiful on May. I can only imagine how heavenly it would be post monsoons. The tiger cave and shiva temple cave are okay. If you chose to walk you can take a break and eat at the dine ins there..
