It takes 3 hrs from mumbai and 1.5 hrs from pune to reach here.
The major tourist attraction here are Bhushi Dam, Lions point, Dukes nose to name a few. A Couple of lakes are also here so that you just sit and watch the beauty of the area with your beloved besides you and chewing the famous chikki. Clouds flow very low here giving u a very romantic feeling, great spot for couples to come and enjoy here.
As a tourist I find this place absolutely gorgeous. In rainy season this place is absolute heaven. Lonavla is the major centre for shooting for various hindi movies. Lately Taal, Khakhi have been shot here and many more.....
Half way between lonavala and amby valley is the tiger point. Almost every stops here. you will find every kind of person here, from families to bikers to couples. And the good thing is, everyone is in a good mood.
Chai and pakoras are very famous, so is boiled corn. After a good break here, head ahead, and enjoy the ride/drive till the entrance to amby valley, which is only for members ofcourse. turn back and enjoy the ride/drive back. Lonavala is a great Sunday destination for everykind of person. in rains, there are lot of small waterfalls along the road (between lonavala and amby valley). Just park ur bike/car on the side of the road (keep the parking lights on in fog), step into the waterfall and enjoy.
There are couple of big restaurants in the main lonavala market (from where you turn off for the ride to amby valley).b U can really encounter ur self with nature in such a way that u actually forget where u from
