Mother Nature (especially in the rainy season!) just over 2 hours from Mumbai - I took an extended trip to Mumbai and went through all the tourist attractions in Mumbai , so I arranged this trip because there was a bit of vacancy in the city and I wanted to see the great outdoors.
The guide was a man named Kamlesh (father of two) and he was not too early. You will be picked up in the lobby of the hotel.
Your driver and I will first take you to a large Buddhist site dating back more than 2,000 years, have a delicious free lunch at a beautiful local restaurant, and then climax at Tiger Point Lonavala for a magnificent Indian landscape. It was like the Indian version of the Grand Canyon, and it was magnificent.
It was a comfortable tour for six people, with a decent toilet break and cold water.
We went to March in the dry season and still enjoyed the magnificent nature, but around June to August in the rainy season, the valley was covered with greenery and many waterfalls were created. People from overseas don't often come here, but Mumbai seems to be a resort where they come to visit on weekends.
If you want to see the rainy season or the great outdoors, I recommend it!

Lonavla - Such an interesting day. First was the Temple and adjoining ancient cave complex carved by hand. The climb up was steep but covered from the sun with vendors selling all manner of things! Next were the view points which were amazing. Don’t forget to buy some Chikki which is delicious, from the nearby town. We got loads to bring home with us.

Calm & Peaceful - Me & my mom enjoyed the trip to Lonavala caves. Great mountain view. It is away from the city's busy noisey environment. Kamlesh is a great guide & company. We admire our driver who has a lot of patience driving on the busy roads of Mumbai. Kamlesh took us to a great restaurant for lunch. Food was delicious.

Lonavala is a beautiful... - Lonavala is a beautiful town. It took about 2 ~ 2.5 hours to get there and is totally worthwhile. Mr. Hardik was very knowledgeable and professional. The
caves are indeed very special in its own way especially the sculptures on the pillars. The surrounding areas are serene and beautiful. The tour ends at Lion point with spectacular views. It is a trip i’ll never forget.

One of the Best Guides to see the Real Mumbai - Kamlesh Parmar is an amazing guide that will make you feel safe, and will give you the feeling of truly knowing and understanding parts of Mumbai. We did the Lonavala tour, he was at the hotel early, and introduced himself. We visited the Karla caves and other areas including taking us to a local restaurant that served delicious local Indian cuisine. He cares a lot about his country and it show in his passion how he describes and informs about where you are at with him. I would recommend him to anyone that wants a guide that is not just amazing but also becomes a friend. Truly this guide has the best prices and his service is outstanding. To anyone feeling unsure, call him, text him he will respond and is so on time. I researched others and again very impressed with what he gave me and my cousin to remember. Here are some of the things that I appreciate that he did, he came early, communication with him was easy and treated us with care and respect. He went out of his way to share about his life and country and to assure that we were comfortable and enjoying the trip. He never rushed or walked so far but kept us within the distance that is a lot for two females and again appreciate his efforts and the driver. He provided a pick up and drop off and gave us a great deal for the tour. I really can't say more than I have experience and expressed he was outstanding and again love his passion for his country and city.

Great trip - The trip was very worthwhile and I can only recommend it as a day trip from Mumbai. The caves are very impressive and you get a good impression of the landscape.

Good experience - The caves and view was beautiful, it was the dry season so not as lush as it would be in the monsoon season. The tour guide Kamlesh was lovely and did his best to liven us up even though the group was very tired.
