Lohgad Fort ,Visapur Fort,Bhaja Caves
Situated at the height of 3400 feet, Lohagad Fort is a UNESCO world heritage site and formidable fort about 52 kilometres away from Pune. Lohagad Fort was built in the 18th century and is an ideal destination for trekking and nature lovers, especially from Pune and Mumbai. Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj used to keep his treasury in this fort.A narrow fortified region in the Lohgarh fort, Vinchu Kata literally means Scorpion’s sting. The natural formation due to the fissure of lava has resulted into the finger like projection of rocks and the peak of the terrain is a must-visit.A hiking trail from Vinchu Kata takes you to Visapur fort and is adorned by lush green forests and fantastic view of the valley.These spots are only 12kms to 15kms away from Lonavala.

These Caves are atleast 2000 years old and here you will see very unique structures.Ekvira temple is nect to the Caves .To reach the temple and Caves there is a short steep trek of 200 steps so old people or kids are not advisable to Visit and climb.

We have been to Lonavala many times but every time we have managed to explore a whole new side of this Hill Station and places around it . Lonavala has managed to surprise us every time with lots of scenic beauty and adventure. Best time to Visit is during the Monsoon season ...

My unique experience on this years Halloween & exciting trip with friends . To face our fears we decided to make this year’s Halloween a little exciting by planning to go to Adlabs Imagica which is around 70 kms approximately away from Mumbai . To make it a roadtrip we decided to drive and go and it took us nearly 2 hours to reach. Imagica although is an amusement park, the rides there can scare one to death ! Me and my girls especially are still very afraid to sit but we sat because Halloween !...
We our working on the same to get best flights connectivity for this location.
Lonavala is good to Visit all round the Year but the best time to Visit is during the Monsoon , June , July , August , September and October . Even in the Winters it is a Pleasant Place to be around
You could travel to Lonavala by Train , Bus or your Own Car . If you come there by Public Transport Hire a Local Car /Taxi or a Bike would be ideal in Lonavala , costs Approx would be Rs 300 to Rs 400 a Day depending on the Type of 2 Wheeler Vehicle . It is only 100 Kms from Mumbai [ 2 hours by Road ] and an Hour away from Pune
