Rajmachi Fort, surrounded by the beautiful Sahyadri mountains, is perfect for those who enjoy trekking and hiking adventures. The trek commences from the base village and is quite steep. Your hard work is paid off in the end with a magnificent view of historic Buddhist caves.
The Karla Caves are not only a major tourist attraction, but they are also a pilgrimage destination for Buddhists. The caves are made from natural basalt rock and feature ancient Indian rock-cut architecture. A must visit for history buffs!
Duke's Nose is famous for its serpentine trek route. It offers an exhilarating experience of steep trekking trails and rappelling. While you climb, the surrounding green valleys and the glittering stream beside will leave you spellbound.
The last destination for the day, Lonavala Lake provides you a relaxing spot to unwind and enjoy nature's beauty. The flapping sounds of a variety of waterbirds and the waves of the lakewater will rejuvenate you. Enjoy the breathtaking panoramic sunset view of Lonavala as the day comes to an end.
This itinerary is ideal for those who love adventure and trekking. The total time for all activities is approx. 7.5 hours, so make sure to bring comfortable shoes and wear sunscreen. Since the itinerary finishes at sunset, make hotel arrangements for the night. If you have more time, you may visit the Bhushi Dam or the Kune Falls, or if one of the places is closed, Karjat Farms is a great alternative. If you have less time in hand, you may skip Lonavala Lake or Karla Caves.
