Very old caves

Nice caves in Rajapuri town. It takes about 30 mins to reach there from Panchgani town. Inside the temple ladies are not allowed. Its just a short visit i.e. takes 10mins.

Not worth the visit

These caves are located on the route off from the main road to Mahabaleshwar. The caves are very old and have poor infrastructure. Once you take off the shoes then it not possible to wear them without..
