8 Places To Visit In Panvel

Q: Can you suggest an itinerary for Panvel?

Day 1 - Start your day at 8:00 AM, and visit the Beth-el synagogue, a symbol of Jewish devotion and architecture in Panvel. Next, you should visit Karnala Bird Sanctuary, which is a popular tourist destination in Panvel, and a 27-minute drive from the Synagogue. Apart from the beautiful flora and fauna, the site is also very close to the high Karnala fort, which is a mute witness to some of the glorious days of the Maratha Empire. Day 2 - The next day should be earmarked for a visit to the scenic beauties of Panvel. The first one on your list should be Kalavantin Durg, which is almost a 40-minute drive from the city of Panvel and is another custodian of the Maratha history. Or if you prefer, take blessings from the Ballaleshwar temple, which is a 1 and a half hour drive from the city of Panvel. Do take care that it is not a Tuesday or Thursday, otherwise, the crowd there might be too much to handle. By the time you have packed your bags, the adventures of Panvel won't leave your mind so easily.
