Places to Visit

Like a breath of fresh air, Khandala revives sagging spirits. Khandala neighbours Lonavala and it is the deep valley on one side and the high hills on the other that segregate the two hill stations. Situated close to Mumbai, Khandala is the perfect locale where one can de-stress the mind and enjoy a cool climate.

There are many places for sightseeing, trekking and shopping in Khandala making it an adventurous tourist destination.

Dukes Nose

Named after the Duke of Wellington who was a regular visitor to the valley. When observed carefully the valley resembles the pointed nose of the duke in a reclining position. The valley also resembles the hood of a snake and therefore the locals call the valley as "Nagfani". It is located approximately 27 kms away from Khandala.

Ryewood

A thickly wooded and beautiful park. History has it that an English officer by the name of Mr. Rye stayed in this place for a considerable amount of time and hence the name. The name may however have also been generated from the local language Marathi wherein "rai" means thick forest, aptly describing the Ryewoods.

Kune Falls

Mother Nature's gift to mankind, these waterfalls come down from a height of more than 100 feet. One may also enjoy a bath in the open as the cool fresh water flows thru the valley. One can catch a glimpse of the waterfalls whilst traveling through the Khandala ghat enroute from Mumbai.
