Me and my wife visited Lonavala in the month of Oct 2017 from Pune. It took us around 1 hour to reach the base market of Lonavala by car. There are a couple of places you can visit in Lonavala for sight-seeing, such as Lion's point, Tiger point, and Bhushi Dam. All of them are on the same route when from the base market. Put Lion's point on Google Maps and move ahead. Bhushi dam will come first on your left, then Lion's point and at last it will be Tiger point. We did not visit Tiger point as it was extremely foggy that day and visibility was very less. So, there was no point going further from Lion's point. Loin's point comes to your right after Bhushi dam on the same route. You will see a big parking and couple of guides waiting for you to help. Parking charges were 50 rupees when we visited. Pay and enter the area. You will see a number of small eating joints all around that parking area. So having food is not an issue. Remember one thing, do ask for the price before you eat else you may end up paying extra. In case you are visiting from Pune, then there is no point staying in Lonavala. However, there are plenty of hotels which are good and reasonable too. You can easily make a selection after negotiating. Have a great visit and stay.
- Visit during monsoons for a romantic trip amidst nature's gift. Carry extra pair of slippers, clothes, coats, umbrellas during monsoons and sport shoes for trekking.

Encompassed by thick woods, waterfalls, and dams, Lonavala is an absolutely wonderful hill-station to visit. The Monsoon season is the best time to visit Lonavala, i.e. July to October, to see the lush green splendour of the Sahyadris in all its glory. Bhushi Dam is the most popular tourist spot; simply sitting on the steps of the dam or on the rocks beneath and enjoying the force of the water is a great experience in itself. Lonavala has several tourist places in the form of caves, lakes, forts and waterfalls. Some of the best places to visit in Lonavala are Lohagad Fort, Rajmachi Point, Karla Caves, Valvan Dam, Lonavala Lake, Tiger's Leap, Bhaja Caves, Rajmachi Fort, Korigad Fort, Kune Waterfalls, Tikona Fort, Visapur Fort, Bedsa Caves and Tung Fort. Lonavala is also famous for its chikkis, sample the original ones at Maganlal Chikki, where you can also find fudges, jellies, and other savouries. Carry umbrellas and warm clothes.
