Some Penny-Pinching Tips for Your Lonavala Trip

Use these tips for Lonavala budget travel. This busy hill station in Maharashta is an ideal day trip excursion from bigger cities like Mumbai and is beautiful any time of the year but especially during the monsoon season.  The whole area is surrounded by natural attractions like its valleys, greenery, gardens and waterfalls, but seeing them does not have to be expensive.

Being a popular destination outside of bigger cities like Mumbai, Lonavala does have its own share of five-star hotels. However, there is no need to stay in an expensive hotel when you should be going outdoors. There are several clean and affordable hotels and bed and breakfasts. Try Hotel Star Regency, Hotel Surya Resort, Shiv Shanti Resort, Lions Den, Kohinoor Exotica and Dreamland Hotel.

A bus is the most convenient way to go to attractions like Rajmachi Point and Bushi Dam, which are only 15 minutes away by bus. A taxi would probably be the fastest and most convenient way to go, but it can be an unnecessary expense at roughly $4 to $5 for a one-way trip. One tip when traveling by bus is to be careful of your handbag or purse.
