Mahabaleshwar, the summer capital of the Bombay Presidency, stimulates the senses not only because of its natural beauty but also because of the delightful tales spun around its most popular sites. It is located in the Western Ghats, about 120 km southwest of Pune and approximately 285 km from Mumbai. Nature is exceptionally generous here, with craggy hills, waterfalls, dense forests, and rivers. It creates a twin prominent tourist destination with its neighbour, Panchgani. Though the strawberry farms and table plateau of these destinations are well known, not many know about the quaint book village that is located between the two places.
