Last month I went to Ganpatipule from Pune. I visited Ganpatipule for 3 to 4 times and I went to ganpatipule from many routes. In this article I will tell you which is best road route for going to Ganpatipule.
pune to ganpatipule route by car distance 330 km
Important : Dont take mulshi and Mahad route. Actually when you search in google maps you first got that route. But roads are not good on that route and that is not very nice route.
Take NH4 Highway route. First go to Satara -> Umbraj. From Umbraj take right turn to patan gaon. Patan-malharpeth then go to Helwak -> Kumbharli Ghat – then go to Chiplun. From Chiplun If you want to go by short cut then go from Dangli Akhli road. You need to ask there How to reach Ganpatipule from Dangli Akhli road.
Dont go to Hathkambha take dangli akhali road that will save you 35 to 40 kilometers road.
