the Karla, Bhaja, and Bedsa caves, which are very near from Lonavala.
Lonavala is located in the western part of the state of Maharashtra.
It is set amongst the slopes of the Sahyadri mountain range. Also known
as the "Jewel of The Sahyadri", Lonavala is a place of this regionwhere
nature is present in its entire splendor. It has become famous because
of nature's gift of beautiful valleys, hills, milky waterfalls, lush
greenery, and pleasant cool winds.
Khandala being the smaller of
the two is relatively calmer and is the pride of the Sahyadri Mountains.
It is endowed with abundant natural beauty and like Lonavala, Khandala
also provides a popular gateway from the hustle and bustle of cities of
Mumbai and Pune. The lush greenery of the mountains especially during
the monsoons and the misty paths attract tourist like honeybees here.

a refreshing experience.
