Amazing experience!

Lonavala is absolutely gorgeous! It’s a bit of a drive from Mumbai, but so worth the effort. It was just amazing. And the Karla caves are so interesting. We also had an amazing guide who was very friendly and knowledgeable. Our experience couldn’t have been better. Thanks! We highly recommend this tour.

Out of Mumbai city experience

We enjoyed our Hill-station tour with Aryan as our guide and Shamsher, our driver. Aryan is an enthusiastic young guide who shared his knowledge of the area. We felt safe in the Mumbai traffic. The cave was very different from the temples we visited. The 350 step walk up to the mountain temple was filled with interesting sights and places to stop. Aryan was able to answer every question we had. Be prepared with an extra pair of socks for walking in and near the temple. Shoes not allowed. Thank you, Aryan and Shamsher from the Minnesota Grandmothers.

Great area to visit during rainy season. Do waste you time and money in April.

At the time of booking we were not advised that 1. Wrong time of yhe year to go to lonavala. The guide told us on the day as soon as we entered the vehicle. " You should had done this in rainy season or winter, when everything is green" 2. Very little information imparted by the guide. He was extremely tired after his previous day job. Slept most of the way.

Aryon was very thorough and informative

Aryon knew details that made our experience enriching. His suggestions for lunch contributed to the best Indian food we’ve had. A total and rewarding adventure into the countryside out of the Mumbai haze. A big plus was our driver who spent six hours keeping us safe and telling us the in and outs of learning to drive in India.
