PLACES TO VISIT

Lonavala Trip Highlights What to See on Your Pune to Lonavala Cab Trip

Once your Pune to Lonavala taxi reaches the hills, there is a lot packed into a small area. Most people keep the sedan or SUV for the day and let the driver shuttle them between viewpoints, caves and chikki shops. Here is what is worth hitting on a Pune to Lonavala cab trip.

Tiger Point (Lion's Point) Sunset

Also called Lion's Point, this is the busiest viewpoint in Lonavala for a reason. Time your Pune to Lonavala cab booking to reach by late afternoon and watch the sun drop over the Sahyadri valley. Vada pav and roasted corn stalls line the parking area while you wait.

Bhushi Dam (Monsoon Special)

Between June and September, Bhushi Dam spills over into a natural waterfall you can sit right inside. It is the single biggest reason monsoon is peak season for our Pune to Lonavala cab service, so book early on weekends.

Karla and Bhaja Caves

These Buddhist rock-cut caves go back to 200 BC, with chaitya halls and stupas carved straight into the hillside. Karla is the grander of the two; Bhaja is quieter and, to my eye, prettier. Both sit a short detour off the expressway and slot easily into one Pune to Lonavala cab trip.

Lonavala Chikki Shopping

Hardly anyone heads home without a few boxes of fresh chikki, fudge and waffer in the boot. Maganlal and Cooper's are the names everyone knows. Ask your driver which shop has the freshest stock that day; they usually know.

Imagica Theme Park (45 min away)

Travelling with kids? Imagica sits about 45 minutes from Lonavala on the expressway, and plenty of families bolt it onto a Pune to Lonavala cab booking. Take a Sedan or SUV and make it a full theme-park day. Ask us about Imagica plus Lonavala combo packages.

Pawna Lake Camping

Staying the night? Pawna Lake, about 25 km from Lonavala, is the spot people pick for lakeside camping, bonfires and a Lohagad fort trek. Our SUV and Tempo Traveller are the usual choices for these group trips.

Combine with a Khandala Visit

Khandala is only 5 km from Lonavala and sits at the same Pune to Lonavala distance and cab time, so adding Duke's Nose, Sunset Point and the Rajmachi viewpoint costs you nothing extra. On a same-day round-trip Pune to Lonavala cab booking, most of our drivers fold the Khandala stops in without being asked.
