Arrive at The Lagoona Resort in Tungarli around 1 pm; check-in is subject to the resort’s room availability and policy, so confirm the timing directly with them. Give yourself a proper pause after checking in—have a swim or relax on the property rather than trying to squeeze in sightseeing straight away.
Around 4 pm, head to Tungarli Lake for an easy 1–1.5-hour visit. It’s a short local ride from the resort; ask the front desk to arrange an auto or confirm the best access point, as the final stretch and lakeside conditions can vary. The setting is especially pleasant in the softer late-afternoon light, but paths may be muddy after rain. Keep to safe, accessible areas and don’t swim.
From the lake, continue to Lonavala Market for about an hour of browsing. Shops generally stay open into the evening, though individual hours vary; pick up fresh chikki and allow roughly ₹200–600 depending on what you buy. It’s a short ride from Tungarli, but allow extra time for Friday-evening traffic and parking. Finish at Rama Krishna, a popular central-Lonavala choice for vegetarian North Indian and South Indian dishes; budget around ₹500–900 per person. Dinner service is usually available into the evening, but check current hours and expect a possible wait at peak time.
Start with breakfast at German Bakery Wunderbar in central Lonavala, allowing about an hour and roughly ₹300–600 per person. Check its Saturday opening time before setting out; hours can change. Head back to The Lagoona Resort in Tungarli in time to check out at 10 am and collect your luggage—leave a little buffer for the short drive and any weekend traffic.
From the resort, drive to Sunil’s Celebrity Wax Museum on the Old Mumbai–Pune Highway; allow about an hour to browse, plus time for parking. Check the museum’s current Saturday hours and entry fee before you go, as both can change. Then continue to Ryewood Park in central Lonavala for an easy hour beneath the trees. It’s a pleasant, unhurried last stop; wear shoes suitable for potentially damp paths in October, and check locally whether the park is open when you arrive.
