Monsoon Magic in Lonavala

The monsoon season in Lonavala typically lasts from June to September, covering the entire area with fresh green colours. This is when the hills are filled with waterfalls, trek routes turn into misty excursions, and the calm wind is laden with the aroma of wet loam and wildflowers.

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.

The Perfect Rainy Day Itinerary at The Fern

Even if you choose not to travel far on a rainy day, there are plenty of things to be enjoyed in-house at the hotel:

Begin your day with a buffet breakfast of hot poha, fresh fruits, and masala chai.

Play indoor games or listen to a story in your room with your kids.

Let the rain put you to sleep in the afternoon while listening to the sound of raindrops on the roof.

Finish the day with a hot dinner at the restaurant, coupled with some board games or movies together.
