Lonavala Monsoon means cascading waterfalls, lush greenery, mist, and clouds. The region is home to several attractions. However, this guide highlights key destinations that you can visit during monsoon. You would require minimum or no trekking to reach them.

Lonavala Lake

Located near the Tungarli Dam, the lake fills up during the Lonavala monsoon season. It creates several points on its banks that are ideal for a leisurely stroll, picnicking, and bird watching as well. Most spots are safe, surrounded by greenery and hills. Even visitors who are 50 plus in age can let their legs remain underwater and relax. There are many food stalls around the lake.

Pawna Lake

Pawna Lake is famous for night camping, boating, and Kayaking. There are several campsites for families and bachelors. You can enjoy a variety of sports activities. Basic facilities like parking spaces, clean toilets, and changing rooms are also available. Besides tents, you can opt for a villa or room at one of the best hotels in Lonavala near Pawna Lake. Visit the lake before 4 PM to avoid crowds.

Lohagad Fort

Misty trails, stunning views of Pawna Lake, waterfalls, and mountains covered with greenery, Lohagad Fort has it all. It is the perfect intersection between history and nature. You need to trek for fifteen minutes or climb 350 steps to reach the top. The trails are well-marked. But, the path remains a bit muddy during monsoon. The weather keeps on changing after 15 to 20 minutes during the monsoon.
