Wanderlust Tales - Impromptu road trip to Lavasa

Unplanned road trips induce a different kind of excitement in our rote life.

And we friends, decided on a road trip to Lavasa, about 65 km from Pune. The first trip of 2015. πŸ˜‰

As it was impromptu, we started kind of late. Since we started late, the repercussions being, we found ourselves stuck in traffic in Pune for quite a while. It took us more than 2.5 hours to reach Lavasa city.
Google maps always make your life easier, and it guided us till there easily.


Lavasa situated atop the hill is a private-planned city, as well as the newest hill station since Independence.
And as we were ascending, the view was just splendid. Epic! πŸ’š

Lavasa - A beautiful city, beautifully concept-ed and a clean city. There is a lot of work in progress there. But nevertheless, it was just perfect, just perfect for visiting and spending some time during chilly winter evenings.
Waah.....awesome it was!

But to make the most of the place, start early and you can enjoy the utmost beauty of this place. We got to witness the beautiful sunset and the bird view of the city. πŸ’™
There are various fun water activities which one can indulge in.

The last time we were here, we came for an event to X-Thrill, where they organized many sports activities. They provided us with lodging in tents, which were pretty cool.

Finding food here is no big deal, you have ample of options - there is this WaterFrontShaw street.
Overlooking the Dasve lake, this place is just the place you need to relax.
This street is conceptualized in Italian style and it has plenty full of restaurants on one side of the walkway. They have quite a number of places to sit and relax too.
The walk through the street is refreshing. Just spending a quiet evening is enough to get you kick-start for the week.
This place is bustling with people and kids, and you will really enjoy the evening without a doubt.

Not to forget, an experienced driver is always perfect to drive you up.
The roads are curvy and there are not many street lights, so drive carefully and safe! 😊
Try to leave before the lights start to fade out.

Here are some photos from the trip:
