This is our 1day 1 night picnic to MTDC - Karla (Lonavala) - a great place to be - close to Mumbai and easily accessible from Pune too.
Reached MTDC and then went to Karla Caves and Ekvira Devi Mandir both are on same Mumbai Pune old highway, from Mumbai Karla caves is on RHS and Mandir on LHS.
After visiting the Karla Caves; the next is Ekvira Mandir - Avoid SUNDAY - its FULL HOUSE there even at 7am in morning and you will regret not able to take darshan of the diety. Yes there are around 150steps climbing upwards to the mountain and you will enjoy the view from the top as it has the caves in which the mandir is being constructed.
There is another good location in Karla - next to MTDC is Dr. Balaji Tambe clinic - he has a clinic which heals your disease and many people are benefitted (all medicines are made inhouse) with people coming from overseas too.
You can also visit Tony Da Dhaba which is 15kms from MTDC resort.
Enjoy your day!
