4. Karla Caves

One Day Lonavala Local Sightseeing Trip by Car with Karla Caves

  • Must See / Things to Do: A sculpture of Buddha seated on a lion-supported throne displays some awe inspiring carvings of three elephants. The pillars resembling the Ashok Pillar are also a must see.

Karla Caves are one of the oldest Buddhist shrines in India. These caves are located on the Pune-Mumbai highway at Karla. It is said that these caves are only a few among hundreds of other unearthed ones in the Sahyadri region. The carvings on the caves are almost 2000 years old and are believed to have been done between 2nd century BC to the 5th century AD.

Within the cave you will also find a mesmerising collection of Chaityas and Viharas that narrate the journey of our lives and teachings of the Buddha. A temple made only of pillars dating back to the Buddhist period is the main attraction of Karla Caves.

The caves primarily belonged to the Mahasamghika sect of Buddhism. The caves also house a massive 15 meter pillar temple dedicated to Goddess Ekveera. A guide will also help you recognize a trade route near the caves joining the Arabian Sea and the Deccan region.

Owing to its immense historical significance, the cave complex is protected and looked after by the Archaeological Survey of India and this is definitely a memorable spot on the one day Lonavala local sightseeing tour.

5 Unmissable Places To Visit In Lonavala On A Day Trip

(This article has affiliate links to products which we may make commission from at no extra cost to you.)

Lonavala is a very well known Hill Station in Maharashtra. During monsoons, this place turns into a paradise surrounded by the majestic Sahayadri hills covered with lots of greeneries, sparkling lakes and many waterfalls. Here are some of the best places to visit in Lonavala.

During our trip to Pune, we were having lots of monsoon destinations on our list where we wanted to visit. We had already ticked off Lavasa from the list and had an amazing time there. Being left with only one day before our flight back to our home town, we were looking for the best place to visit which had to be near Pune. We finally decided on visiting Lonavala for a day trip which is located at about 65 kms from Pune. I had listed down all the places to visit in Lonavala and was hoping to be able to visit them all.

We must have seen about hundreds of waterfalls while on our way to the attractions in Lonavala. This road trip left us mesmerized and in awe of the beautiful surroundings.

Lonavala Lake – Best Places To Visit In Lonavala

Bushy dam – best places to visit in lonavala, tiger point – best places to visit in lonavala, rajmachi point – best places to visit in lonavala, karla caves – best places to visit in lonavala, when to visit lonavala, how to reach lonavala, accommodation in lonavala, what are the essentials to carry to lonavala.

Best Places To Visit In Lonavala

Lonavala has a plethora of attractions for its visitors. These attractions include Bushy Dam, Pavana Dam, Lonavala Lake, Tiger Point, Duke’s Nose, Della Adventures, Lohagad Fort, Rajmachi Fort, Karla Caves and Bhaja Caves. You will be needing at least two days to visit all these attractions. The Lohagad Fort and Rajmachi Fort are very well known for trekking in Lonavala. Since we had only a day in Lonavala, we could visit the below places;

The Lonavala Lake also known as the Monsoon Lake has very beautiful and mesmerizing surroundings. This lake dries up completely during summers and comes to life with sparkling water during the monsoons. The amazing views of the hills covered with many waterfalls, the tranquil lake and cool breeze makes it a perfect spot for unwinding and relaxation. Enjoy the views with tea and roasted sweet corns easily available at many carts there. This lake is a must visit during monsoons.

Places to visit in Lonavala

Bushy Dam is the most popular attraction and one of the best places to visit in Lonavala. Water flows heavily into this dam during rain falls. You can climb up to the dam and enjoy the free flowing water while sitting on the stairs built on the dam. You would need to be careful while climbing up to the dam because the rains make the huge and narrow steps slippery. There are snacks and tea vendors also in the middle of the dam. You can have some snacks there while enjoying the flow of the dam water. Bushy dam is a place usually very crowded. Try to reach as early as possible to avoid the crowd.

Make sure you carry extra pair of comfortable slippers with you that you can switch with your shoes in the car or cab. You can also get slippers from there on purchase or rent from a few vendors there and leave your shoes safe in their locker rooms.

Places to visit in Lonavala

Tiger point is a cliff top with a sheer drop of over 650m. It showcases amazing panoramic views of forests, hills and valleys. This cliff resembles the shape of a leaping tiger. During our visit the views from the cliff were mildly covered with clouds. This generally happens during heavy rain falls. We stayed back there for about an hour hoping for the weather to be clear while having some hot maggi with tea. You may also try the delicious corn bhajiyas served at stalls there.

It took sometime for the weather to be clear and we were able to catch a few glimpses of the hills covered with lush greenery. The Tiger point is one of the major tourist attractions and best places to visit in Lonavala for the breathtaking views. So, it can get pretty crowded during sunset times.

Places to visit in Lonavala

The Rajmachi point is a view point for the famous fort Rajmachi Fort that belongs to the famous King Shivaji . This fort is a well known tourist spot for trekking. The peak of Rajmachi fort has two significant forts namely the Shriranjan Fort and the Manaranjan fort. The beautiful views of the dense forests and green valleys around these forts make this destination a very beautiful experience for the trekkers. Rajmachi point is also a very worthy place to watch sunset from.

The Karla Caves are one of the oldest Buddhist shrines built by Buddhist monks in India. These historically significant caves have the largest and the best preserved prayer hall (also known as Chaitya) in India. The carvings depicting about the teachings and journeys of Buddha in the caves are said to be about 2000 years old. This rock-cut Buddhist cave is made of many pillars beautifully decorated with sculptures of elephants, horses and other depictions.

To reach these caves you will have to climb about 200 steps from the car parking area. Rains make these stairs slippery so you will have to be careful while climbing them. There is a small entry fees of Rs. 5 for Indian nationals while Rs. 100 (USD 1.50 approx) for Foreign nationals.

Places to visit in Lonavala

We then visited the Lonavala’s market from where we had a very delicious Vada Pav at the Golden VadaPav restaurant. We also bought few boxes of assorted Chikkis from Maganlal. Lonavala is very famous for its sweet delicacy Chikki which is a hard candy made from jaggery and is available in many varieties.

If you enjoy monsoons then the best time to visit Lonavala is during June till September. The hill station is bestowed with heavy rains which makes it a very picturesque and scenic destination.  October till March are also good months for sightseeing and trekking.

The best way to reach Lonavala is by road through which you will be assured to enjoy the beautiful views and your journey comfortably. We hired an Ola outstation cab for the trip. This took us about 1 hour to reach Lonavala from Pune. If you are coming from Mumbai, you can hire a sightseeing tour cab here . It would just take about two hours to reach this Lonavala from Mumbai.

Alternatively there are railway services and private buses also through which you can reach Lonavala from Mumbai or Pune.

We left our hotel early morning at 7 AM and reached Lonavala by 8:30 AM with one halt to have some vada pavs.

I would highly recommend you to stay in Lonavala for atleast one night to indulge in the beauty of the hill station as well as check out all the must visit tourist spots. Lonavala has many good hotels and resorts. The Fariyas Resort is the most recommended one as it has the best views of Lonavala and also has an outdoor water theme park.

There are a few essential things you must not forget to carry with yourselves to Lonavala.

Comfortable Shoes : You simply cannot go wrong with shoes in Lonavala where you will be hiking steep hills, climbing through the rugged slopes and dams. Make sure you carry slip proof and comfortable shoes. Check out a pair of comfortable and chic trekking shoes here.

Shoe Cover and Reusable Rain Boots : Carrying shoe covers is the best thing that you could do to save your shoes from getting wet. Just zip them over your shoes and you are good to go. Get yourself these lightweight and convenient boot shoe covers and leave the worry of ruining your shoes behind.

Skincare Cream : Keep a good moisturizer and sunscreen to avoid skin dryness whenever you travel to any hilly areas. This Vaseline Aloe Vera lotion is a savior for sure! Do carry a lip balm too.

Thermal Water Bottle : For warm water or any warm beverage you can sip on throughout your journey. Get one here .

Light Jacket & Scarf : To cover yourself from cold winds while you hike up on high altitudes in Lonavala.

Portable Charger / Power Bank : A power bank is a necessity to keep your phones and tablets charged throughout your trip. It comes handy when these devices are running out of battery. We love the Anker Power Core portable charger as it comes with high speed charging capability. It also comes with an unmatched 18 month warranty. It certainly is a deal not to be missed. Check it out here .

Road trip to Lonavala

Photo of Ruchi Jain

Lonavala Bushy dam

We started from Vashi early in the morning in a Toyota car. One of the most visited place of Lonavala is the Bushy dam. It's extremely beautiful.The best time to visit this place I feel is during the monsoon as the place becomes foggy then. It is indeed a fun place to hang out with friends and enjoy the fun in water. but one should be careful of the nearby waterfall as there have been deaths due to drowning. The natural surroundings are the most attractive and pleasing for the tourists visiting this place. You can easily spend 2 to 3 hours here by enjoying the water in the dam and if you wish you can even go ahead and walk on the huge stones. There is a point beyond which you can't cross the dam.

Tiger Point

Tiger's point is a very beautiful natural landscape in Lonavala which stands at a height of 650 m. It resembles the shape of a tiger. There is a small waterfall near the landscape which flows during monsoon season only. The fog gives a picturesque view of the site. Long walks here is indeed very romantic. Once here, you don't feel like leaving this place due to it's ambience.Similar to this is the Lion point in Lonavala. Though we did not go to this particular place due to lak of time, People say that tiger and lion point are almost similar.

Lonavala Lake

If swimming is your passion, Lonavala lake is the place for you. It is also known as the Monsoon Lake. The distincting feature of this lake is that it is filled with water during the monsoon season and dries during the winter season. You will enjoy sight-seeing here as different species of birds and animals are found here. The panipuri of this site is very delicious. You can even take hookahs here. It is a cool place and the experience is quite unique too. This was the place where we had celebrated the party.

Bhaja Caves

Bhaja Cave is located in Karla and is similar to Karla Caves. The style and architecture of both the sculptures resemble each other. Amongst it, the 22 rock cut caves display the sculpture of a prince in a chariot, dancing couple, an armed warrior and a prince seated on an elephant. One should visit this place if they like exploring and learning new ideas and culture. The first cave is the place for the master of the cave which is succeeded by the Buddhist temple. This was the last place we visited in Lonavala and in true sense the best way to end the trip too as we all loved the site.

Lonavala is a hill station near Pune in Maharashtra . Every year thousands of visitors visit this place. It's just a journey of two hours from Mumbai , so it's a common picnic spot for many teenagers and youth along with their friends or families to hang out with during the weekends. Lonavala is known for it's famous "chikki" which are available in many flavors including chocolate, strawberry and cashewnuts chikkis and almonds chikki. Shops like Maganlal and Chivadas are very well known for these chikkis. If you are fond of sweets and candies, Lonavala won't dissapoint you. Vada pav and panipuri are also very delicious here.

Reaching Lonavala from Mumbai is quiet flexible. You can either hire a car and choose to have a road trip or instead commute by bus. Usually the trips comprising only of Lonavala is for a day itself wherein visitors return on the same day by night. But if you plan to cover Khandala too, 2-3 day trip is advisable. They are the twin hill stations in the Pune district. The best time to visit Pune is during the monsoons to enjoy the majestic beauty of nature. Me along with my friends had visited Lonavala to celebrate our friend's birthday. And it's not wrong to say hanging out with friends is extremely fun and a great way of knowing each other more. We had hired a car and trust me, the entire journey all we did was just gossip and eat, and of course admire the beauty of this place.
