Lonavala

Lonavla and the neighbouring Khandala are the twin hill stations close to Mumbai. Lonavla is a great choice for those who wish to escape the hustle and bustle, heat and humidity of India's most populous city for a few days. However, do not expect a quiet or pristine environment: the popular Lion's and Tiger's Points are the usual chaos of street food sellers, rubbish, dogs and cows with the addition of monkeys looking for food from people.
