Lavasa, being an emerging & planned tourist hotspot, is well connected to the rest of India via roadways. Regular bus and taxi services are available for the city of Lavasa.

Last week visited.. They have stopped the project. Nothing is there, no proper maintenance. I will not suggest anyone to visit Lavasa. Waste for your money. We came out with disappointment.

much hyped Lavasa City is only as good as a couple of hours of Sightseeing, nothing more. The place is overly priced, everything is expensive. You can just stroll around for a couple of hours. The on (Read More)ly attraction seems to be the drive along the mountain stretch and the Lake. Though the place is advertised as a retired / senior citizen stay, I failed to see the basic amenities that an aged person would get there. Not recommended as a tourist place, may be enjoyed only for the pleasure of driving and sightseeing for a couple of hours.

A look at Lavasa made me acknowledge what a masterpiece this man-made hill station of India is. Due to its pleasant weather, it is packed with tourists throughout the year. Luckily, I got to spend Ne (Read More)w Year's eve here and with a festival around the corner, the place was even more jovial. Relishing the delicacies served in the cafes, indulging in water sports near the lake in the morning and night walk around the lakeside promenade is the best way to spend your time here. Though the weather is cool the afternoons can be a bit sunny and hence I would recommend carrying plenty of sunblock and liquids. On your way back, don't forget to see the grandeur of Varasgaon Dam.
