Begin your journey at Duke's Nose, a popular trekking site. Hike for approximately 1 hour and a half to the cliff top and enjoy panoramic views of the valley. After your trek, visit Ryewood Park, a lush garden featuring historical structures, colorful flora, and a serene lake for boating.
Spend the morning exploring Karla Caves, the largest and best-preserved rock-cut cave complexes of India. Marvel at the intricate Buddhist architecture and as many as 15 Chaitya halls, viharas, or monasteries. Next, relax and have a picnic at Lonavala Lake, a picturesque spot perfect for boating and fishing.
Wake up early to visit Tiger's Point, a cliff-top viewing platform offering breathtaking views of the Sahyadri Mountains, valleys, and waterfalls. Then, head to Bushi Dam, a popular tourist spot with pristine waterfalls, cascading through the rocks. Take a dip, enjoy a picnic, or take a nature walk.
Start your day at Bhaja Caves, an ancient Buddhist rock-cut complex dating back 2200 years. Admire the diverse sculptures, carvings, and Chaitya halls. Then, hike up to Lohagad Fort, a historical site with panoramic views, deep moats, and intricate architecture.
Your last day takes you to Tikona Fort, a historic hill fort towering over the hill town of Kamshet. Enjoy the views and explore the ruins. Then, head to the Shri Narayani Dham Temple, a spiritual sanctuary featuring intricate carvings and murals, and a peaceful lake to meditate.
If you have extra time, you can visit other attractions like Rajmachi Point, Tung Fort, or Korigad Fort. For food, we recommend trying out the delicious local street food, including vada pav, poha, and misal pav. If you have less time, you can combine Bhaja and Karla Caves in one day. Be sure to confirm the opening and closing times of the places to avoid running into surprises.
