Welcome to the Monsoon Capital of Maharashtra
Lonavala is where the Western Ghats truly come alive. Misty hills, waterfalls, green valleys, and cool breeze make it one of the most loved weekend getaways from Mumbai and Pune. In monsoon, clouds drift across the roads and everything turns bright green. In winter, the air is crisp and mornings are foggy. Lonavala is perfect for families, couples, and friends who want a quick break in nature without long travel.

Tiger Point
Tiger Point is one of the most famous viewpoints in Lonavala. The cliff offers wide views of valleys, hills, and clouds floating below you. It’s especially beautiful during sunrise, sunset, and the monsoon season.
Rajmachi Point
Located near the entrance of Lonavala, this viewpoint overlooks the historic Rajmachi Fort and the surrounding valley. It’s a great stop for photography and short evening visits.
