At a distance of 7 km from Panchgani Bus Station, Rajpuri Caves are one amongst the most ancient attractions of the Panchgani region. There are four caves and these ancient caves are surrounded by many water kunds. It is believed that these caves were used for penance and religious rituals by Lord Kartikeya. It is also said to be the home of Pandavas during their exile. Devotees believe that taking bath in these holy kunds will provide relief from all kinds of diseases and evils. The main attraction of Rajpuri Caves is the Lord Kartikeya Temple, which is supposed to have been built with the sand taken from the caves. Entrance of the cave contains several stone plates with inscriptions on them. Two traditional images of Nandi are located in front of the caves. Out of the two images, one lies right opposite to the entrance to the cave. The thaipooyam festival is the main attraction of this temple which is celebrated in the months of January / February. One of the four caves is placed separate from the others. An old image of Lord Kartikeya can be seen here. Other three caves are linked by underground tunnels. The first cave contains a kund which is constantly filled with water flowing from the mouth of a sacred Gomukh. The approach road is very narrow so one can park their vehicles on the main road and walk into the village. A short walk and a flight of stone steps leads down from an archway to the cave temples.

Nice cave on Tableland. One can walk or take horse. It's underground so need to climb down few steps, which are steep. It's cold inside. 15rs per head ticket. Some food options are available.

The place doesn't have anything exclusive to see inside the caves (pandav cave and tiger cave)to see. But the cafe's are really cool. They have really beautiful view.so u'll enjoy the view along with cold and hot drinks and also some snacks from the cafe. It will look very beautiful in rain but might be little bit risky to reach. I visited it in summer . It still had beautiful natural view..with little cold in the cave But I couldn't take the experience of view with rain outside the cafe and hot tea/coffee in the cafe on tht cute little furniture
