Pristine Panhala

Around 17 km from Kolhapur is Kaneri Math. To reach there one has to travel roughly 12 Kms on the Bangalore Highway (NH4) and take right from Gokul Shirgaon Junction. From here, we drove for 4-5 km on a semi-developed road leading to Kaneri village. There is ample space for parking. The Math houses a Shiva temple and a large Shiva statue. The attraction here is the Siddhagiri Gramjivan Wax Museum.

As a recent traveler to this bird sanctuary I’ll definitely leave you with a few things to expect at the park. Do take a bicycle or rickshaw at the entry gate. Whereas the old model of cycle costs INR 20, the trendier cycles will cost you INR 40. This time of the season, don’t expect boating. We were told that currently boating option is unavailable. The park is quite big but to have best chances of spotting various birds you should arrive well before dawn. A trip to this national park is a must to do thing if you are a traveler and have interest in birding. From this park we went ahead to visit Fatehpur Sikri and Sikandra. An accounting of these two breathtaking destinations will be due :-)
