    You could also hit Panhala first thing in the morning, then head east to Rankala for sunset, and finish back at the Mahalakshmi Temple. The drive from the fort to the lake is about 20 km, so you’ll be back in town by late afternoon. After the lake you can walk a short distance to the temple and then check in at Hotel Atharv, which keeps you close to the city centre. Also, keep an eye on the parking at Panhala Fort a few visitors mention limited spots during peak afternoons, so arriving early can save a few minutes.
