Lonavala & Khandala Travel Guide

A perennial favourite with hill station-lovers in Maharashtra, the divine duo of Lonavala and Khandala are truly in a class apart. When Mumbai overpowers and Pune offers no refuge, when beaches fail to beckon and the heart yearns for greener pastures, head for the evergreen hill resorts of Lonavala and Khandala. These twin resorts may be playing the same hackneyed tune, but their timeless appeal always bowls you over.

Lonavala commands an exalted position on the western slopes of the Sahyadris, at a height of 625 m and Khandala is a little lower. The picturesque drive winding around the Western Ghats and the equally splendid train journey weaving through at least twenty tunnels cut into the basaltic rock before it ends at Lonavala-Khandala is some experience.

Both these hill stations are sure to bowl you over - so come and let Lonavla and Khandala cast their spell on you!

Blessed with valleys, hills, Milky Waterfalls, Lush Greenery and pleasant cool winds, Lonavala and Khandala could make the most jaded people start to feel romantic all over again. Sunset over the hill station just cannot be missed especially when with your beloved!
