INTRODUCTION
Voyaging to new places can be quite risky, as you wouldn’t be familiar with the place. You don’t know which routes will get you faster to your destination, don’t know if there are any restaurants along the way for a bite or even how much petrol you should refill along the way. To prevent this from happening, we write blogs, so you wouldn’t make the same mistakes as we did and ensure a smooth journey for you and your loved ones.
Pawna lake is a beautiful lake in the Lonavla region and, to be honest, only local taxis can take you from the station or bus stand to the campsites. You won’t be able to peg down an auto, as there are none in the hilly region. You can expect your taxi to charge you up to INR 2000 to 2500, provided coming back and forth.
Pawna is increasingly becoming popular among tourists, and people flock from near and far to get away from the troubles of daily life. Though you might think the Lake to be isolated, the villagers nearby are very hospitable. On the other hand, if you’re wondering about the safety of women in your family or group, then you will be glad to know that it is. Recently, the Rotary club of ladies from Mumbai visited the lake for a party and they enjoyed the trip.
Conjointly, there are many doubts about camping near the lake. We suggest you do camping in winter, but the monsoon is also good. In addition, villagers, in the locality, have started providing shelter for tents and food while you camp alongside the lake. You would also be happy to know that there is a separate section for just families and couples so that they are not disturbed but drunks or climates.
Although camping is highly revered among tourists coming to Pawna, there might be some uncertainty about the price. The price per person fluctuates from INR 800 to 1500, which includes the type of package and types of activities you do there.
If you’re still uncertain about visiting Pawna, all you have to remember is that it’s an amazing place that attracts people young and old. Only 20 km from Lonavala city. It is 60 km from Pune and 80 km from Mumbai. Though it is not exactly a smooth ride, it instills in you a good sense of adventure.
