Lavasa Tourism

Lavasa is popularly referred to as India’s first planned hill city or India’s newest hill station. In terms of style and overall vibes, this city is based on an Italian town, Portofino. Covering seven hills and an area of about 25,000 acres in Mose Valley near Pune, Lavasa is definitely a great place to visit and explore around.

For any modern-day traveller, this place comes across as quite impressive and a very fun retreat due to so many different things that it has to offer from modern-day infrastructure to delicious delicacies. On top of that, the natural views of this amazing destination will leave an indelible impression on your soul for all the times to come.

Basically, it is a great place to hang out with your friends away from the hectic city life. As Lavasa has a very serene and pleasant atmosphere throughout the year, you can visit here anytime. But still, the best time to visit Lavasa would be the months between September and March.

How to Reach Lavasa
We traveled to Lavasa from Pune city in Maharashtra from where it is located at a distance of 65 kms. We hired an Ola outstation cab for the trip and it took us about 2 hours to reach Lavasa. Since it’s a hilltop destination, the road towards Lavasa is curvy, so I would recommend you to eat light and carry some medicines to avoid any motion sickness. The roads are surrounded by very mesmerizing views of mountains and mini waterfalls making the journey more memorable and worthwhile.
Lavasa can also be reached from Mumbai from where it is located at a distance of 190 kms. Once you reach at the entry gate to Lavasa, there is a parking fees which is Rs. 200 for two wheeler vehicles and Rs. 500 for four wheeler vehicles.
