    Hi Friends,

    I am starting this thread because I know the Mumbai and Pune guys must have visited this place once at least.

    Though originally I am not from Maharashtra,I am from Amritsar by birth but I studied here in Pune and was curious that my ILite friends out here must have visited Khandala.I visited there quite a lot of times with my friends and I love the place .

    Hey Manjeetha:hiya,

    thanx for the photos...Though I haven't roamed there, I always loved it through the train windows,, while travelling to Mumbai from south..

    Entering that big dark tunnel...was a special feeling...

    Thanx and bye

    hi manjeeta,
    even i had been to lonavla a couple of years back, when we were in mumbai for my husband's project...
    but it was rainy and foggy and we couldn't go to kandala...
    but i thoroughly enjoyed the drive, beautiful hills with streams trickling down them....
    and yes, i came back with loads of chikki, made from all kinds of nuts.... :)
    i'll see if i can post some of the pics we took there...

    ya supriya,
    its the same... :)
    lonavla and kandala are hill stations in maharashtra, quite close to each other...
    they are accessible from mumbai and pune.
    you can take a train or drive to lonavla....the route from mumbai to lonavla is beautiful and the road is also good, once you leave the city limits and hit the highway...

    will be back with more specific details if you need, sometime later...

    Lovely pics Manjeet,

    Thanks for sharing it with us.

    Hey you forgot to mention the famous Lonavala Chikki & the Garma garam Batata vada.:drool

    Lonavala & Khandala were our fav summer holiday haunts. After the first rains, the waterfalls made a beautiful scenery.

    I miss those days! Unfortunately now they have become a concrete jungle thanks to every celebrity wanting to have a bangalow/flat there.

    Regards,

    Corallux
