Surrounded by lush greenery, Ryewood Park and Shivaji Udyan are perfect for a peaceful morning walk. Admire the fauna and flora as you stroll through the park and you might even catch a glimpse of some rare birds. Don't miss the ancient Shivaji Fort and the Shilpagram, an art and craft village located inside the park.
Start your morning with a breathtaking view of the Sahyadri mountain range from Tiger Point. Take a nature walk along its picturesque trails and indulge in local delicacies from nearby food stalls. After that, head to the Karla Caves and marvel at the ancient rock-cut Buddhist temples dating back to the 2nd century BC. Don't forget to take a selfie with the magnificent elephant-shaped entrance.
Relax by the serene Lonavla Lake and enjoy the surrounding green hills. Take a boat ride or simply enjoy a picnic by the lake. After that, head to Bhushi Dam where you can enjoy the cool mist from the waterfall or splash around in the shallow water. End your trip by shopping for Lonavla's famous chikki and fudge from nearby shops.
If you have more than three days, consider visiting the Rajmachi Point and the Lohagad Fort for an adventurous day trip. Visit during weekdays to avoid crowds and take public transport to save money on transportation. If you have less than three days, skip some of the attractions and focus on your top priorities. Always carry a water bottle and an umbrella during the monsoon season and wear comfortable shoes for long walks.
