Lonavala: Mumbai's Green Exhale

Just 83 kilometres from Mumbai and a world away from it. Lonavala is Maharashtra's most beloved hill station — a misty, lush escape where waterfalls cascade down black basalt cliffs and the chikki shops never close. Every Mumbaikar has a Lonavala memory, and most want to make another one.

The My Holidays voucher covers stays at premium properties like Hill Forest Resort — a gorgeous retreat with duplex cottages, manicured gardens, and a 100-guest event capacity — ideal for families and groups alike. Alternatively, Hotel Aristro and Hotel Nature Shield offer comfortable rooms with hot/cold water, poolside dining, and easy access to Lonavala's top sights.

The monsoon is Lonavala's crowning season — the valleys fill with waterfalls, the RajMachi viewpoint turns into a painting, and every meal tastes better in the rain. Tiger's Leap (Waghdari) offers one of the most dramatic cliff views in the Western Ghats.
