I feel envious towards those who are born and brought up near hills. I’m fond of online personality tests and whenever I’m asked if I prefer hills to beaches, I always give a positive answer. Although beaches are romantic, I find solace in less crowdy places and that is why I prefer hills. Every time I visited my boyfriend, who is now my husband, we went on bike rides to the hills near Pune. Lonavala is one such places that still fills my heart with ebullience.It had been drizzling all day and to rejoice the generosity of the weather, we decided to go on a ride to Lonavala. The breathtaking valleys, coy mist, silvery skies transforming each second, prancing clouds, and lush green blanket of curly grass blew my mind. The road to the marvellous Tiger point was full of many hairpin curves and the mist was so dense that one could hardly say if the two headlights coming from the front were of a car or two different motorbikes. The trees on the road were bent as if they were doing it deliberately to hear the harmonious music of the wind.We reached the Tiger point. The place got its name as it gives impression of a tiger trying to leap across the valley. There was a small waterfall formed due to rain and the notorious mist was hiding it from it after every fifteen seconds as if it was a secret treasure. Yes, there was crowd, but it didn’t matter either. Thanks to the mist! We roamed around the place, the mist decreased suddenly, and I found a ravine nearby. It was so deep that most of the day it must have remained in shadow. Over it, a narrow path twisted its way down through the tress, over an open ridge where Sahyadri flora in varied hues grew wild, and then steeply down through a tangle of slender bamboo. I was about to call it heaven as the mist took the scene away from my eyes, and I was left illusioned as if I had been drugged.Visiting Lonavala and not tasting its delicious corn pakoras is like being in Switzerland and not tasting its cheese. The tempting fragrance of yummy pakoras with onion chutney is something that amplifies one’s hunger. The pakoras should be followed by a kulhad of hot coffee- so thick that if you don’t wipe your mouth after having it, you will be left with a crusty, brown moustache. To dig deep into the ocean of hillside cuisines, we also tried roasted corn with green pudina chutney peppered over it.It was around 6 o’clock when we decided to leave. The orange-purple Sun was peeping out from the grey clouds, and the city below was becoming alive with all electric lights. We could hear the leaves of the trees rustling and indicating that it was time to rest. The birds were going back to their nests with some savoury gifts in their beaks for their little ones, and we too returned with imperishable memories of the wedding of hills with clouds in Lonavala.

Route B: The second trail begins from Lonavala and crosses the Tungarali Dam to reach the Rajmachi Village. This is a 15km long straight road, where you can easily take a vehicle. However, cars can only go up to a certain point till a diversion comes. There is a place where you can park your vehicle at the diversion and from here the last one kilometre needs to be covered on foot.How to plan it: If you start your trek from Lonavala, you do not need more than a day to reach the fort and make your way back to Lonavala.Distance: 15kmWhere to stayKajrat:

We caught the train and started our journey. We reached Lonavala around 10.30 in the morning and hired cab to reach the Heritage Villa. On our way we stopped for breakfast and had mouthwatering spicy vada-pav and adrakwali chai. What a relief from hectic journey. Our villa provides the excellent view and surrounded by Mountains and Lush Greenery. After spending some time, we booked the cab and the journey begins.Tiger Point: This point resembles the shape of tiger. Hills were completely surrounded with the fog, which gives the spectacular view. A small waterfall makes the scene picture perfect. This exotic location beauty was just spellbound.Loin’s Point: Next to tiger point, this place is situated. The The hills and mountains get carpeted with lush greenery, clouds overflow the hills and cool breeze make the view is heavenly beautiful.Bhusi Dam: This dam was the jewel of our trip. The dam overflow with sparkling water and foggy weather and scenic waterfall makes you to fall in love with Lonavala. Indeed this place is the best hangout place with friends, and enjoys the water fun, but as its slippery steps and inconsistent water flow, you need to be very careful.Karla Caves: This is the house of the Buddhist shrines with ancient rock-cut caves. The place is very peaceful and architectural perfect. Most of the stupas are simply built and bare but some contain carvings on the top. Timing for visit is 9 AM to 5.30 PM and entry fee is 5/-Bhaja Caves: Located in Karla caves and display the sculpture of a prince in a chariot, dancing couple, an armed warrior and a prince seated on an elephant and much more. Small waterfall again makes the scene astonishingly beautiful.The caves are high up in the mountain and you need to climb up the stairs and many stalls are situated on your way. The beauty of Western Ghats is breathtakingly glorious.Celebrity Wax Museum: this was our last destination for the day. As name suggests some big celebrities, like Asha Bhosley, Rabindra Nath Tagore, Swami Vivekanand, Mr. Beans, Shaktiman, was statues are there. A good place to click photographs with all the celebrities and these statues will look original in some point. Timing for visit is 9 AM to 9.30 PM and entry fee is 100/-Our Day 1 journey ended and we came back to our villa, we packed variety of tasty roasted and grilled chicken and enjoy our dinner in balcony which is the best part of the villa. Good thing is loud music is allowed and we enjoyed a lot.

Recently we went for new year Eve party were in the mid night we met three people, although we were strangers to each other we share are snacks drinks hooka and danced like best friends this was my best new year eve ever because a place were no mobile no network we were not talking on what's app or fb but sharing our thoughts and singing n dancing forgetting all worries ..

Can you imagine a day without internet, television or even mobile network? Well, as a matter of fact I could not. But the experience that I had, proved that being without these three was indeed possible for me. It was the occassion of our first wedding anniversary and we were spoilt for choices with respect to the places that we could visit for the occassion. It so happened that from somewhere I recollected reading about an ecoresort in Lonavala which had tree-houses. It had been a childhood fantasy to once dwell in a tree-house and The Machan in Lonavala proved to be the ideal way to live my childhood fantasy. Let me start describing the path that leads there. We happened to travel from Lonavala railway station and we took the Aambey Valley route to reach The Machan. The road until the turn to Aambey Valley is really good. But as soon as you take the left to go towards The Machan the roads become rocky and full of stones, not a very pleasant drive! It made me wonder if I really made the right choice by choosing this place...,but as soon as we entered the main gate all my fears were put to rest. The road from the entrance gate was a smooth drive. The reception is the first tree-house that you'll see although it is a miniature version of a tree-house. It is located amidst all the machans and the best part is that they actually instruct you of the do's and don'ts. The place is entirely solar energy driven and has solar panels installed in the property. After the initial formalities and registration, we proceeded to our room which was a jungle machan. By the way, the property contains Sunset machans, heritage machan, canopy machan and jungle machan. Coming back to our room, it was situated at a five minute walk from the reception admist trees and noises of birds as it ideally is, in jungles. There are 6 jungle machans the entrance and balconies of each facing opposite to each other which assures that the guests get 100% privacy. The floors are made of wood, you actually live with trees because you see two to three trees branching out from the floor of your room upto the ceiling. Just next to the entrance is placed a mini fridge and then there are booklets, two of them, one briefing you about the property and the activities (they have activities like tour of the entire property, trekking, bird watching, star gazing, spa, yoga) that are arranged for the guests and the other one tells you about the do's and don'ts. Going further, the room opens into a balcony. This balcony is not anything thats ordinary, it in fact is lined with glass walls and contains a reclining swing, a wooden bench and a bath tub with facility of warm and cold water. There is also a bathroom and attached toilet inside the room which are well provided with all the required toiletries. A very striking characteristic about this entire property is its cleanliness. Througout and everywhere the Machan is very clean and well maintained. The view from the balcony is that of trees from the top and there is just this wide expanse of beautiful green trees everywhere. It is indeed beautiful to spend some time with nature sipping tea and just reclining on that swing. Thats when you feel how important silence is. You get to hear noises of different birds in between but thats music to the ears! The dining area of the property requires a walk of 5-7 minutes but it is absolutely worth the walk. This is an open area with tables laid out under trees with fresh air soothing your senses. Caution is taken by the staff that the wind does not interfere with the food. There is a windmill adjacent to the dining area which is continuously in motion again which is used as an alternate source of power. The food is served as a buffet and is absolutely delicious and you are spoilt for choice. We did convey our heartfelt praise to the cooks who were involved in the food preparations. We did not really avail any of the activities arranged by the hotel but then we explored the property on our own and I must say it was an enriching experience. We loved our stay at this place and would definitely want to visit again. This one is defnitely a place worth publicising and revisiting.
