Reach Lagoona Resort in Tungarli around 1 pm, check in, and leave roughly two hours to unpack and enjoy a relaxed start—perhaps a swim or a drink by the pool if facilities are open and the weather cooperates. Confirm pool hours and any check-in or meal arrangements directly with the resort; room access can sometimes take a little longer at busy times.
Head to Tungarli Lake for a quiet hour nearby. It’s a short drive from the resort, but roads and access can be uneven, especially after rain; water levels and any restrictions vary seasonally. Enjoy the views from a safe, accessible spot rather than walking along slippery banks, and ask the resort to arrange a local taxi or auto for the return.
Continue into town to browse the Lonavala Market and stop at Maganlal Chikki for chikki and other local sweets. Shops generally trade into the evening, though closing times vary; allow about 45 minutes and compare a couple of varieties before buying. From the market, take an auto or taxi to Rama Krishna for dinner—budget around ₹400–₹800 per person and allow 1–1.5 hours. It’s popular, so there may be a wait at dinner time; check that evening’s hours before setting out.
Check out of Lagoona Resort by 10, settle any extras collect your luggage before setting off. Ask the front desk to arrange a cab or use your own car; keep bags secured rather than leaving them visible while you stop. Head to Ryewood Park in central Lonavala, roughly 10–20 minutes away depending on town traffic. Allow 45–60 minutes for an easy walk beneath the trees and through the gardens. Check the park’s gate hours locally before you go, as timings can vary; entry is generally free or nominal.
Continue to Lonavala Lake, around 15–25 minutes by road, and give yourself 30–45 minutes for the views. It’s most scenic when water levels are high, but the shoreline and access can be muddy or uneven after rain, so wear shoes with grip and follow local signs rather than venturing down steep banks. There may be little shade or facilities at the viewpoint, so bring water.
Finish at Sunny Da Dhaba on the Old Mumbai–Pune Highway near Khandala, about 20–30 minutes from the lake in light traffic; allow extra time on a Saturday, when the highway can get busy. Set aside 1–1.5 hours for a relaxed meal, with a rough budget of ₹500–₹1,000 per person. Check current opening hours before driving over, and confirm the onward route and traffic conditions over lunch.
