REGIONS OF LONAVLA

Rajmachi Area
Mandvi Range

A REGIONAL REVIEW

  This region can be accessed both by Bus or Train to reach LONAVLA  railway station. The road to PUNE passes a lot of hills and lakes. This area can be visited almost throughout the year but is best, in the winter and the rainy season. The southern range of this area is sometimes called the' "Lake district" of the Sahyadris.

THE RAJMACHI AREA

The area north of   LONAVLA in which lies the twin peaks of Rajmachi fort. There are some hill forts and large lakes, most approaches are long walks.

THE MANDVI RANGE

This area is the south eastern boundary of the region and contains easy places to trek in. These places can be approached by the PUNE local train services via the LONAVLA, MALAVLI and the KHAMSHED railway stations. 

THE PAUN MAVAL

The huge plateau south of LONAVLA and extending up to Mulshi Lake and the Konkan is known as PAUN MAVAL. There are many intensive hills and forts to climb amidst thick forests. A great monsoon experience can be had here. A rare treat for nature lovers.
