Monsoon Magic in Lonavala

For the family, the monsoon is a time of bonding and splendour. Kids love running around in the gardens and watching the rain, and parents can relax with a cup of tea on the balcony, with cloud-touched mountains all around.

Attractions Around The Fern Ecotel Hotel for Family Outings
The central location of The Fern Ecotel Hotel makes it easily accessible to various family areas in Lonavala and around. Some family must-visit places are as follows:
1. Bhushi Dam
A short drive away, Bhushi Dam is a monsoon favourite where water cascades over broad steps to fill in with natural pools ideal for splashing about. Although it's a family favourite, it is best visited with caution on heavy rain days due to water currents.
2. Tiger's Leap
A picturesque viewpoint, it is most popular during the monsoon. It offers a broad view of the Western Ghats, providing families with great photo opportunities. If the fog rolls in, it adds a surreal dimension that is usually appealing to children's imagination.
3. Lonavala Lake
More serene and quiet, this lake is situated among hills and suitable for short walks or a place to sit quietly and contemplate. The cool air and peaceful ambience offer a relaxing place to stop from the hectic tour.
4. Karla Caves
An educational and spectacular complex comprising Buddhist rock-cut caves, families will have a short hike to the caves and lots to look at and explore in terms of carvings and history in a great setting surrounded by nature.
5. Rajmachi Fort
If you have older kids or your family likes to walk, a visit to Rajmachi Fort can be a pleasant hike. The trail is vibrant with wildflowers, babbling brooks, and beautiful views of the Sahyadri ranges in monsoon.
6. Miniature Railway at Sunil's Celebrity Wax Museum
This is often a hit with younger kids and adds an element of fun to your holiday. A miniature train ride can be a very amusing way to spend a rainy afternoon, and the wax works are a good source of amusement.
