The first planned hill city in India, Lavasa is nestled amidst the picturesque Sahyadri Mountains, between Pune and Mumbai. It is a perfect weekend getaway and an ideal destination for a memorable vacation with family and friends. Situated on the shores of Warasgaon Lake, Lavasa is known for its tranquil surroundings, charming atmosphere, and breathtaking landscapes.
Lavasa offers a wide range of recreational activities for visitors of all ages.

Visitors can also savor delicious multi-cuisine meals, enjoy comfortable accommodations, and relax amidst the scenic beauty of the Western Ghats.
Lavasa is a privately developed, planned hill city and the brainchild of industrialist Ajit Gulabchand. Located approximately 60 km from Pune in Maharashtra, it enjoys pleasant weather throughout the year, making it an excellent destination for a short holiday or weekend escape from both Pune and Mumbai.
Situated in the beautiful Mulshi Valley of the Western Ghats, Lavasa is less than a two-hour drive from Pune.
