    If you’re staying at Hotel Atharv, you could hit the Mahalakshmi Temple for a quick walk and then, if you have a couple of extra hours, take the same route to Panhala Fort. The fort’s 20 km drive takes about an hour each way, so it’s best suited when you can spare a full afternoon to walk the ramparts and enjoy the view of the Western Ghats. If time is tight, the temple gives you a solid local experience with minimal travel.
