For ppl in Mumbai, Lonavala is the closest Hill station and scenic weekend getaway. Almost everyone would hv been there atleast once by now. I’ve been there tons of times. If u want your experience to be different this time around for your visit to Lonavala check out the things to do ????

1. Tiger hills- for the most scenic sunset, this would be the place to be!

On the way to tiger hills ????

There are lot of monkeys here so one ought to be careful while eating or clicking pics, but it’s beautiful view ????

2. Bhushi dam- this is best during monsoons when you can see the overflowing dam in its full glory.

5. Della adventure- this place is beautifully made. You can stay here in your private villas with swimming pool, and also lot of exciting activities are there in this place. An entire day can be kept aside for this. It’s on the expensive side, but it’s worth doing atleast once.

6. Lavassa and Amby Valley have their own charm too. For there places however you need bookings. But even the drive to these places is beautiful ????

7. Food- You have to eat the corn pakodas, cheese pakodas, corn on cob and onion pakodas when at Tiger hills.

For punjabi food or comfort food and even non veg- RK is excellent option.

Misal is a famous maharashtrian dish and bhuachi’s Misal near Fariyas resort is lip smacking.

Golden vada pav- have the vada pav, samosas and dal wada here, they are excellent. Samosas are spicy but yum, Dal wada crispy and crunchy, and vada pav which is served with kolhapuri thecha instead of chutneys. Too good!!

The maggi and tea at the stalls is amazing in this place. I am not a tea person but they give delicious hot chocolate too at the laari.

Even Pune’s very famous German bakery has opened its doors here and it’s beautiful with excellent food.

8. Places to stay- this place is full of hotels and resorts. There are lot of options to hire bungalows too out here. places like Manasi bungalow being one such example.

9. Things to take away- Chikkis and fudges undoubtedly. This place is famous for these 2 things. You’ll see lot of maganlal stores and A1 Chikkis, but my fav fudge place for the most tastiest choco fudge is ‘Cooper’s’.

This is Lonavala for me!! Tell me if there are any other places in Lonavala you love. Leave your comments below.
