Nestled in the green valleys of the Sahyadri mountain ranges, Lonavala is like a breath of fresh air cradled between the two bustling metropolises of Mumbai and Pune. The hill station serves as a relaxing city break, presenting visitors with cliff-top and lakefront views, punctuated with hiking trails, waterfalls and rock-cut caves.
On your trip to Lonavala, make your way to the Karla Caves – a complex of ancient Buddhist caves – to admire the cave interiors, pillars and the stupa. If you like trekking, head to the historical Rajmachi Fort situated atop a plateau, surrounded by jagged mountains. You can also stop by the Bhushi Dam, a masonry dam set on the Indrayani River, or enjoy a picnic along the Tungarli Lake. For panoramic vistas of lush valleys and the Western Ghats, you can visit Tiger’s Point – a 2100-foot-high lookout.
Lonavala is easily accessible through a drive on the Mumbai–Pune Expressway. You can hire a car or take a bus along this scenic route with tunnels and winding roads that cut through mountains. Alternatively, you can take a train from Mumbai or Pune up to the Lonavala railway station.

Even in the hot summer, the weather was pleasant and no sweat. Places to visit in summer are Narayani Temple, Mapro Garden, Wax Museum, Tiger Point, Sun Set point etc. Had food maximum times in Meritas Adore Resort only because the Restaurant was too good for quality and variety.
Scenic Location.

Scenic Location. Tourist spots are ill equipped with conveniences like rest rooms or toilets. Noisy and clogged roads. virtually no Public Toilet Facilities anywhere and the few available smell terrible and are infrequently maintained. People spitting all the time and everywhere. Lots of very expensive Luxury Hotels. Great if all you want to do is get away from Mumbai City and just chill out with a Bloody Mary or G and T by the poolside for a couple of days.
Lonavla is a great place for a short break from Mumbai city.

Lonavla is a great place for a short break from Mumbai city. Its crowded and tends to be noisy. But... there are villas and resorts tucked away in nice corners that do afford peace and tranquil. the road to lonavla...is less than desireable...neither is the exit route. if you do manage to get there,, the rest is usually a decent fare

We went from Monday onwards so as to avoid the weekend crazy rush ....We stayed close to the railway station so that all the attractions were easily accessible... but then the place is equally crowded like any city ... if one stays little away from the centre of lonavala , then less crowd will be there. For eating delights, Hotel Chandralok for Thali, Golden vadapao (avoid chillies chutney), Cooper's fudge, Hotel Annapoorna can be tried surely...buy some chikki which is a local attraction...

The overall experience is great and best would love to recommend to others. The host seems nice. The service is best. The balcony view is breath taking. The property is well maintained. The trip is totally worth due to this property.
