I am Planning to go to Mahabaleshwar in May. Can anybody advice about the climate in May? and what all to see in Mahabaleshwar.

Thanks in advance.

May would be tourist season. If possible try going there on weekdays. The climate would be pleasant in the morning and evening. Would be hotter in the afternoon.

There are Volvo buses from Mumbai for Mahabaleshwar
If you are going on your own the Pune Expressway is the best route to reach Mahabaleshwar. You will cross Panchgani first by this route.

Places to see
Arthur's Seat
Marjorie Point
Kate's Point
Wilson Point (Sunrise Point)
Bombay Point (Sunset Point)
Elephant's head Point
Mapro Farm
Venna Lake
Tapola Lake around 50 kms
Kshetra Mahabaleshwar

Another hill station close to Mahabaleshwar is Panchgani 18 kms
Table Land
Wonder Point
Dhom Dam
Sydney Point
Parsi Point

Pratapgad Fort on Mahad Road 27kms

May is hot and expensive time to go to Mahabaleshwar, a bit crowded also, if possible stay at Panchgani

When do rains start in Mahabaleshwar?
Will the weekend of June 4-6 be good time to enjoy showers there?

First week of June usually it starts raining..

Few hotels close down in the rains..

Mid monsoon would be the worst time to be here, unless sitting in hotel and talking a walk in rain is all you want to do.

Rains heavily and drivign becomes difficult due to low visibility. Smaller hotels are closed and the roadside shops and few shops are closed.

So if you want to enjoy the showers either come when the monsoon has its first few showers or sometime in August when the rains might stop and all you see is greenery.

i agree with opinion on mapro farm. i had some sandwiches for breakfast over there and the ambience was absolutely relaxing.

I was there last April and stayed at Lords panchgani at panchgani,and found it very hot for my liking. I would suggest people to visit the place early or later in the year.
