Lonavala
and Khandala,
set at a height of 625 m, located on the western slopes
of the  Sahyadri
mountain range are two hill stations, 5 kms apart. Fascinating
panoramic beauty adorns these places. Khandala being
the smaller of the two is relatively calmer. The lush
greenery of the mountains especially during the monsoons
and the misty paths attract tourist like honey bees
here. The silver waterfalls amidst the lush greenery
are magical. Lonavala's bazaar is filled with surprises.
The beauty of this place is a refreshing experience.More
