Yes, the ideal hill station of Maharashtra which is popular among young boys and girls for spending thrilling and adventurous time!

The place is situated amidst natural beauty on all sides; there are forts, caves and dams to check out apart from the escapades and camping activities.

 

Fun filled things to do in Lonavala

We were three of us, and spent our first day chilling out at an affordable yet amazing hotel in Lonavala. It was a sudden trip as we wanted to explore the location by ourselves and not through the eyes of internet. Camping has always been on top position in my trips. From the hotel staff, we heard about Dellas Adventures at Kunegaon.

Some of them which we experienced were mountain cyclic, della shooting, double seater cycle, racing car, football, bowling, bull ride, and many more. Amazing it was! We spent 1145 INR and had the best time of our life!

All three of us were hankering for something more. We went to Pawna Lake in Lonavala for a mud race session. The race has been designed so intelligently which tested both physical and mental strength. We had a refreshing as well as exhausting time, and it costed 1499 for 2 hours. We came to know that ex army commandos have designed the obstacle race, I suggest everyone to try this.
