Overview

Lonavala At A Glance

Lonavala, Maharashtra, is the Sahyadri hill station that sits between Mumbai and Pune. It is green, cool and close. For a private journey, it is the easiest way to feel the Western Ghats without a long drive. The landscape is its charm. Valleys fall away from the ridgelines. Waterfalls appear after the rains. Mist slides across the roads from June into September, and the hills turn a deep, wet green. History sits close by. The Buddhist cave temples of Karla and Bhaja lie a short drive away. So does the hill fort of Lohagad. Lonavala is also known across the region for its chikki, a sweet made with jaggery and nuts. It is roughly 85 km from Mumbai and about 65 km from Pune, so it suits a night or two. Weekends can be crowded, so we plan weekday stays and early starts. Distances and drive times vary with traffic, so confirm them locally.
