The timed version is in our [one-day Lonavala itinerary](https://orbitmiles.in/blogs/lonavala-places-to-visit-one-day/).

On the way

#### Food and rest stops, Pune to Lonavala

The drive takes about an hour and a half, so most people eat in Lonavala itself: the chikki and fudge shops in town and the Mapro food court are a few minutes off the highway. For breakfast on the way, there are dhabas near the Talegaon and Kamshet exits. A 15-minute refreshment break is included in the fare; just tell your driver where you want to stop. More options are in our guide to [rest stops on the Mumbai–Pune Expressway](https://orbitmiles.in/blogs/mumbai-pune-expressway-rest-stops/).

Route Overview

#### About the Pune to Lonavala Route

**Pune to Lonavala** is about 65 km. Leaving the city, the car either joins the Mumbai–Pune Expressway at Kiwale or follows the old highway through Talegaon and Kamshet. Both stay on the Deccan plateau, and there is no ghat to climb from this side; the Khandala ghat starts beyond Lonavala, on the way down to Mumbai. Allow about 1.5 hours.

The geography shapes the day. Karla and Bhaja caves are east of Lonavala, the side you arrive from, so Pune day-trippers do them first, while it is still cool. Bhushi Dam, Tiger Point and Lion's Point are on the far side of town and suit the afternoon. Leave by 5:30 PM and you are usually back in Pune around 7.

We pick up anywhere in Pune and Pimpri-Chinchwad, from Hinjawadi IT Park, Wakad and Baner to Kothrud, Viman Nagar, Kalyani Nagar and Hadapsar. Car-by-car rates are on the [Lonavala pricing page](https://orbitmiles.in/pricing/lonavala/). Coming from the other side?

#### Before you book: how a fixed-fare cab compares

##### Booking direct vs a booking site

You book a named car (Citroën ë-C3, MG ZS EV, Kia Clavis EV or Innova Hycross), not a car category, and it comes from our own fleet. The fare is fixed with the toll inside it, it never surges, and you pay after the ride. Driver and car details reach you on WhatsApp before pickup.

[Why you pay after the ride →](https://orbitmiles.in/blogs/why-post-ride-payment-not-advance/)

##### An electric cab vs a CNG cab

A CNG cab carries its gas cylinder in the boot, so your bags have to fit around it. Our electric cars keep the battery under the floor, so the boot holds only luggage: 2 check-in + 2 cabin bags even in the ₹2,700 Citroën ë-C3. Our electric cars also pay ₹0 expressway toll.

[CNG cab boot space explained →](https://orbitmiles.in/blogs/cng-cab-boot-space-luggage/)

##### Cab vs train vs bus

For one or two people, the train or the bus costs less. For four, a ₹2,700 cab works out to ₹675 each, door to door, with the bags in the boot and no transfer to a station.
