One of the places in Satara with historical significance. It is sad that its not maintained well. Definitely worth a visit as it does not take very long. You can drive 4W all the way till the top and then there are about 30 odd steps to go the top of the fort. The fort offers great views of the city and has lush greenery in the rainy season.

Visited Ajinkyatara Fort in monsoon — lush green views, misty hills, and peaceful vibes! The drive is scenic, fort clean and historic. Perfect for a short trek, photography, and weekend getaway near Satara.

Ajinkyatara Fort, perched on one of Satara’s seven surrounding hills, is a blend of history, panoramic views, and serene atmosphere. Known as the "Fort of the Brave," it holds great significance in Maratha history, once serving as a capital under Chhatrapati Shahu Maharaj. The trek to the fort is relatively easy and rewarding, with sweeping views of Satara city and the lush Sahyadri ranges. Though some parts of the fort are in ruins, the ancient gates, bastions, and temples still reflect its glorious past. It’s a must-visit for history lovers, trekkers, and anyone looking to enjoy peaceful hilltop vistas.

Must visit place. Great place to be with family. Lot of space to walk. Great climate. This place shows the might of Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj

Very very historical place. Pride of Maharashtra. Vehicles go upto the main gate. Then climb about 40 steps to the top. Some improve are taking place. A must visit for visitors to Satara

Ajinkyatara fort resides in Satara district. It is where Tarabai took her last breaths. View from fort is awesome. We can see Satara city and beautiful Sunset from the fort.

⟩. This Is Great Historical place of Maratha Regions , from Yadav's, but now it's totally is station for adult couples more than tourists . ⟩. Heres some regional plant's diversity Ajinkyatara Satara

When I visited, half of the work of the museum was done and half was in progress in feb 2025. you have to pay for parking and entry tickets which is nominal. Newly constructed place. So you can see things which has been used at the time of shivaji maharaj like talwar, banduk, bhala and more.

One of the ancient Times Ch.shivaji maharaj Sangrahalay added such ancient Talwar, Bhala, Gun,Tof, Palkhis, And Good Atmosphere in this museum Large space for Photo session in out side museum Structure.

I would highly recommend this place if you are planning to visit satara. Best 1.5 hr you can spend here on your weekend with your family and friends. If you wanna know more about Our beloved Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and weapons used by Marathas in the battlefield this place is all about that. Well maintained, clean. And specially Hats off to the interior designer they did amazing work. Being a Satara resident i would be proud to say that this museum is the best addition to satara heritage and tourism.

This is Satara District heart place because it preserve heritage of Chh Shivaji Maharaj monuments. It conserve wepons, Court Sitting Monuments, Coins, Clothes, many more precious things.

This place in Satara showcases the belongings of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. There are mainly three rooms as of now wherein in the first room things associated with luxury are placed, in the second room weapons like rifles, bow, katyar, sword, Waghnakh and armour are kept. Whereas in the Third room currencies are displayed like hon, shivrai, and also coins of Mughal and mediaeval period also This great Shivmudra is present here. Photography is strictly prohibited inside the Museum. The Entry Ticket costs ₹10 for an adult and parking available for the museum.

Still work going on, only 50 % museum is opened. Inside Photography not allowed strictly.

Pleasant surprise to see such a good show on various armaments used by our ancestors... If you are a student of history or history aficionado, then it is a must visit...bring a pencil and sketch book as photos are not allowed... A quick tour will last for 1/2 hour...but it will not justify for this museum...

One of the best place and must visit place in satara. Yeh nahi dekha toh kya dekha. You can see whole satara city from this hillok. At night this place add cherry on the cake.

Chaar Bhinti does not feel like a historical or well-maintained tourist place. The area is littered with garbage, especially cigarette butts and alcohol bottles, which creates an unpleasant and unsafe environment. There's no proper parking space available, which adds to the inconvenience for visitors. The only positive aspect is the view between 7 PM to 8 PM, which is quite beautiful and peaceful. However, after that time, the place becomes uncomfortable due to the presence of litter and signs of alcohol consumption. It's not ideal for families or peaceful evening outings. Authorities should take steps to clean the area and maintain it properly for tourists and locals alike. --

View from top is very nice specially in the night. In the night consider by going car or auto. And ask auto to wait till you visit monument from safety purpose. One suggestion, no lights available in char bhinti smarak area. So you can't read any information about our freedom fighters.

You can see good view from there...(almost all Satara city )these are quite old monuments...good seating arrangement and lights..good for one time visit

Char Bhinti in Satara is a historic monument with deep connections to the Maratha period. Built by Chhatrapati Pratapsingh Maharaj, it was once used as an administrative office and has witnessed important events in history. Today, it stands as a heritage structure and a reminder of Satara’s royal past. The monument is simple yet elegant, with four beautifully constructed walls that give it its name. The place also offers a nice view of Satara city and nearby hills, making it a good spot for photography and quiet walks. Though not very large, it is significant for those interested in history and heritage. Maintenance could be better, but the monument still carries an aura of pride and legacy. A quick but worthwhile visit if you are exploring Satara and want to connect with its cultural and historical roots.

Historical monument of satara city good atmosphere can enjoy clean air and top view of satara city

One the calming place of Satara. Highly recommended to visit in the evening. You'll get to see the magnificent view and city lights. If you're a sunset lover moon gazing person then you must visit this place at least once. From chaar bhinti you'll able to see Ajinkyatara fort situated nearby, road to kaas, city view from east and west both side, NH4 pune banglore highway, some of attraction buildings of the city. Highly recommended to visit with friends and family.

The Shri Uttara Chidambaram Nataraja Mandir, located in Satara, Maharashtra, is a distinguished temple dedicated to Lord Nataraja, an embodiment of Lord Shiva performing the cosmic dance, Tandava. This temple is a faithful replica of the renowned Chidambaram Temple in Tamil Nadu, earning it the moniker “Uttara Chidambaram” or “Northern Chidambaram.”  Established in 1985, the temple’s inception was inspired by Pujyasri Chandrasekarendra Saraswathi Mahaswamiji during his stay in Satara. The construction was a collaborative effort, with contributions from the state governments of Maharashtra, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, and Andhra Pradesh, while Kerala provided the timber required for the structure. Renowned architect M. S. Ganapathi Sthapathi led the design, ensuring the temple’s adherence to traditional Dravidian architectural principles.  The temple complex is notable for its intricate carvings and sculptures, including 180 representations of Bharatnatyam dance mudras. It houses several shrines dedicated to various deities, such as Adi Shankaracharya, Lord Ayyappa, Lord Hanuman, Radha-Krishna, the Navagrahas, and Lord Ganesha, reflecting a confluence of spiritual traditions.  Situated along National Highway 4, the temple is easily accessible and serves as a significant spiritual and cultural landmark in the region. Its serene ambiance and architectural grandeur make it a must-visit destination for devotees and tourists alike. 

I am from Tamil Nadu and was surprised to see this temple (Tamil Architecture) while passing through the highway. Turned the car back and visited. It is a miniature of Chidambaram Natarajar Kanaga Sabai. Great experience

It's a very peaceful place consisting 4 walls made by four state Govt.s Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh , Tamilnadu and Karnataka . Camera inside the temple is strictly prohibited. It's a place to feel rather than capture in mobile .A must visit place.

Natraj Mandir in Satara, also known as Uttara Chidambaram Temple, is one of the most peaceful and beautifully designed temples in the city. Dedicated to Lord Natraj, it reflects South Indian Dravidian architecture with tall gopurams, detailed carvings, and a calm spiritual atmosphere. The temple is clean, well-maintained, and easily accessible from the main highway. I like how it represents unity between different states, as it was built with the support of several southern states. Visiting the temple early morning feels very divine and refreshing. It is an ideal place for prayer, meditation, and appreciating traditional art and culture. In my opinion, Natraj Mandir is not only a religious place but also a cultural landmark of Satara, bringing peace and pride to everyone who visits.

Good south indian style built temple of god Natarajan, located on pandharpur route. Complete vibe of south Indian style temple, having 4 doors marked based on donation come from various States. Must visit for clean and call environment.

Very calm and peaceful temple. Gives a divine feel of south. Pandits sitting in the main premises are very good and explain about the temple in a great manner

A peaceful temple of Lord Natraj which is known as an Avatar of Lord Shiva and god of Dance, situated right in the middle of the Satara city. The art works are fascinating and interesting. The temple has openings from 4 sides with exactly same design and style. The architecture of the temple will remind of the temples from South India. There are around 7-8 small temples of various Gods and Goddesses situated inside the temple.

first in 2007 we visited this hotel that time taste was amazing.. They used to serve good food earlier. But now quality has slipped.Interior is below average. Wash rooms are not clean. we never ordered veg food so don't know about veg food quality. chicken thali was not so good. chicken was not fresh and was under cooked. staff was also not co -operative . :-( disappointment .

Wow ! What an amazing food ! We tried Mutton and Egg dish. Mutton was superbly awesome. We were here for dinner. If you around here, would recommend to try this once. Washroom rooms aren’t that clean. It is kinda old structure. Would really recommend for food. Parking space is available infront of Hotel.

One Of The Fine Restaurant In Satara For Non Veg Thali ....... Hotel Is Spacious & Nicely Cleaned & Hygienic ....... Its Ambience Is Also Creative & Their Service Gives Touch Of Rajwada Culture ........ I Tried Their Special Chicken Thali & Sajuk Tupatil Mutton Thali ( Mutton Cooked In Pure Ghee ) ...... It Was Nice In Taste ........ Chicken & Mutton Both Were Nicely Balanced In Spice & Oiliness ....... Egg Masala Was Also Tasty ....... Their Rice Was Nicely Cooked & Tasty ........ They Serve Sengdana & Gul ( Ground Nuts & Jaggery ) Which Were Very Tasty ........ Overall Good Food & Foodie Experience We Get Here ........ Foodie Gang Do Try This Place 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Once upon a time, it was serving best non vegetarian food. But after over bridge construction on NH 48, the glory has gone and also the food quality.

A must visit place if you are a hardcore non veg or village food lover. Authentic Maharashtrian food like Bhakari and Thaleepeeth. Do not accept card payment but UPI payment is acceptable. Rates are bit high but for qualities worth.

The ambiance is really good and the food is simply great.... There are two sections indoor and outdoor, I enjoyed the outdoor co it was overcast with cold breeze full time during our lunch there..... The best part about this hotel is that they have a section where they have kept all the materials to make a 'Pan' take all the ingredients and make a custom made pan yourself 😉

Annoying taste. This hotel was known for its taste. Today you get stale peanuts, mutton thali full of tasteless masala. Both veg and non veg thali had no taste. Gave us rice full of colours and no taste. Few said management has changed few said cook has changed. God knows why the quality has gone down drastically.

Nice place. We tried Misal and puri bhaji. The taste is best. I also purchased their fursan.

We ordered Misal Pav, Batata Vada Sample, and Pav Bhaji — and everything was absolutely delicious! The highlight for us was definitely the Wada Sample — perfectly crisp and flavorful. We were also looking forward to trying Puri Bhaji, but just a heads-up: it’s only available till 12 PM, so plan accordingly. The only minor issue was limited four-wheeler parking, which can be a bit inconvenient. But overall, the taste and quality of food more than made up for it. Highly recommended!

Unanimously Best Food Joint In Satara At Very Reasonable Price ......... CHANDRAVILAS Is Brand Name In Food & Foodie World ....... Try Any Food In Their Menu Card & You Won't Be Disappointed At All ........ Food Is Authentic & Delicious In Taste ........ Food Isn't Harsh On Our Stomach ........ Material Used For Cooking Is Fresh & Of Good Quality ....... Hotel Is Very Small & Crowded & Nicely Cleaned ..... Service Is Fast ...... Their Signature Dish Is -》Misal Paav , Puri Bhaji & Malai Barfi ...... I Also Tried Masala Dosa & Uttapa ....... Also Try Their Shev & Farsana ......... Very Delicious 😋😋 Must Visit This Place For Everyone For Divine Food Experiences ❤❤💙💙 .......

We visited Chandravilas for breakfast during our stay in Satara, drawn in by the many glowing reviews and its local reputation. Unfortunately, our experience didn’t quite live up to the hype. We tried a variety of items — Puri Bhaji was the highlight of the meal and definitely the best among the lot. However, the Misal Pav was quite average, lacking the punch of authentic Kolhapuri flavors. The Vada Pav was underwhelming, and the Sheera had a peculiar flavour that made it hard to enjoy. Even the tea and coffee were below expectations. The place seems to thrive on nostalgia and name recognition, but the taste and quality of food felt inconsistent. While service was prompt and the place clean, we wouldn’t call it a must-visit based on our experience. A decent pitstop if you’re nearby, but don’t go in expecting the best breakfast in Satara.

Best place in Satara for breakfast. Best Puri Bhaji I ever had ! Misal, Pohe and Tea were quite tasty too. Being bang in the centre of the city, the place is always crowded, so you may have to share the table with others. Service is very quick. Another good thing is many items can be ordered in half portion too, so you can try multiple things at a same time. Great experience indeed, highly recommend. Update: We tried masala dosa and Uttapam in second visit. Both tasted very well, chutney and sambar was great too.

Truly a gem in this area. Limited Menu but best taste and quick service. Misal, Vada Usal, Khobra Kachori, Sabudana Wada etc Limited and shared seating area accommodating about 25 people. People wait for few minutes as well to get a seat. Clean Washroom facility also available. Must visit if you are in this area.

Lovely place in satara, mostly visits lots of people they likes edali, mendu Vada, misal paw, puri bhaji etc. There atmosphere very and services very fast. Service boy take order in his tab this very unique idea. About food very testy Suggest to all people must visit ChandraVilas Bhuvan

The taste is good although the place is little difficult to find,you can use Google maps. They even have a Facebook page where you can check other details.

Delicious food. Service is also good. Do visit here

I go to this place from last 10 years but recently in terms of ambience there quality has substantially dropped. Tables are broken, plates have scratches nor does the place have a fan also the glasses need to be clean too. They need a good makeover. But taste and service remains good.

I have been visiting Rohan's Cafe since 5 years and I would say, you can get one of the best Cheese burst Pizza here. Tea and coffee is nice. You may also get fresh juices and milkshakes too. Hot coffee is a recommendation. Its just behind Satara bus stand. Ample space for parking and quite a place for couples.

Had a pizza. The vegetables were stale.

This is one of the oldest decent cafe in Satara and not some place which serve refrigerated food. They have a small menu but quality is really good. Pizza and Pav bhaaji served here are my favourite. I didn't like the cold coffee though. Portion of the dishes served make justice to the prices which are on a little higer side. Staff is very polite and working here since long. This place has lost its charm though, needs some renovation as the ambience is not appealing as it was before. It was the first goto option we had 10 years back.

Superb food, must try cheese pulav

Good pitstop ... Ample parking . Starts at 7 am . Serves good poha , upma , dosa . Liked the chutney . Piping hot sabudana vada . Tea is sweet but very good for the drive . Slight expensive. Courteous staff . Clean washroom 👍 which is a plus .

Food quality & service was good. Hygiene is good as well. Clean washrooms. Parking space available.

Taste good. Food is also good. More expensive bcz of hygiene. Clean hotel or food station. Yummy food 🥘 good staff, just before the Satara entry. Visit once Good for taste.

Very tasty idli awesome masala dosa very refreshing tea it has open parking also.must try when travelling good place for breakfast

Today I was at this place for breakfast I ordered three items like idly Wada. Sandwiches and khichadi , I can’t get my order half hour so I tried to cancel one of the item but they are not ready to return money so have to exchange and taken 6 bottle of water unnecessary it’s so ridiculous

Had a breakfast here and the taste was good but little bit costly. You can try idli Wada as the taste was good. Misal was also good.

Good ambience and good food. Washrooms are good but need to maintain hygeine.

Extremely disappointed with the service. We sat at the table for over 30 minutes, and not a single staff member bothered to come and take our order. Forget taking the order – no one even gave us a menu card. It felt like we were completely invisible. If this is how they treat their customers, it's no surprise people walk out. Pathetic service – definitely not coming back and wouldn't recommend it to anyone. They seriously need to improve their staff attitude and basic hospitality

Delicious Food & Great Portion Size! Visited Manas Restro recently and had an amazing experience. We ordered Manas Special Chicken, Paratha, Butter Roti, Indrayani Rice, Jowar Bhakri, and Solkadhi. The Manas Special Chicken was absolutely delicious rich in flavor and perfectly cooked. One full pot easily serves 3–4 people, totally worth the price! The Butter Roti and Jowar Bhakri were both really good and complemented the chicken perfectly. However, I wouldn’t recommend the Paratha as it was too thick and heavy. The Indrayani Rice served with ghee was superb pairing it with the chicken made for the perfect combo! We ended our meal with Solkadhi, and it was so refreshing and flavorful a perfect way to finish the meal. Overall, great taste, generous portions, and a must-try for anyone who loves authentic flavors!

Overall quick and fast service, Food quality and test is good however sambhar is bit sweet. Washroom could have been Cleaner and hygiene

Excellent food options on the highway. Food taste, portion, quality, service were good. Price reasonable. Overall very well recommended for friends and family in Satara.

Food quality and taste is awesome 👍had good experience

I recently visited Manas , and I must say, it’s a true gem for anyone looking for fresh, flavorful vegetarian dishes. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting. The décor had a cozy, modern touch, making it a perfect spot for both casual dining and special occasions.. The menu was full of exciting options, with a good mix of familiar comfort foods and creative twists on traditional dishes. For the main course, I went for the Breakfast i have tried Dosa And Idli..The spice level was just right.. were cooked to perfection—soft yet still maintaining a bite...What really stood out were the desserts.. unexpected delight! Service was top-notch.. with the staff being both friendly and knowledgeable about the dishes...They were eager to offer recommendations based on dietary preferences or flavor profiles...Overall, Manas is a fantastic choice for anyone, whether you’re a vegetarian or not. The quality of food, along with the atmosphere and service, made it an experience I’ll definitely be repeating... Highly recommend!

Awesome food taste if you really want to have non-veg, Specially Mutton. Car parking also available, it’s close to Highway in Satara
