Take a weekend off from the urban jungle and head out to where fresh air, greenery, and gorgeous views await. Your campsite lies in the midst of nature, just 8 kms away from Lonavala, but far enough to give you peace and quiet. During the monsoon, this campsite is a lush paradise with waterfalls, streams, natural ponds, and views of rolling clouds all around. In the winter, it gives you a chance to experience a chilly night around a merry campfire and wake up to mist that stretches into the horizon. You'll camp in weather-proof tents with foam mats to ensure you get a good night's sleep, with comfort facilities like dry toilet tents with Western commodes. You can go for a trek nearby, explore a few of the viewpoints, relax by the fire with friends, and enjoy a couple of days outdoors.
IMPORTANT: You can drive up to this campsite, if you have an SUV or a car without high ground clearance. Sedans will not be able to make it up. You can also combine this trip with a 7 km trek from Lonavala, if your group is up to it.

After that, as it grows dark, a bonfire is lit, and you and your loved ones can relax and enjoy the chilly night air and the delicious barbecue. Enjoy a delicious dinner, and then retire to your cosy tents for the night.
Overnight in tents
You'll stay at a well-maintained campsite that lies halfway up to Rajmachi fort, in a clearing in the lush greenery around.
