Pune hugged me in the
warmth of December. Yes! The warmth of December!! I am a typical North Indian,
used to a temperature below 10 degrees in winters. November till February is
the time of winters in India. But note it down that winters are not same in every
part of the sub-continent. When north is
chilled in temperature below 15 degrees the South is still warm at 25degree
Celsius but still considered cool as summers raise very high. Lying on almost equator Pune is warmer and is
one of the most loved cities in Maharashtra. I stepped down here in December
and could feel the warmth very well. Just married I was very excited about the
journey ahead.
I was already in the
mood to explore the city when my husband made a plan for the Lavasa city. Pune,
though a technical city but at the same time is quite traditional. The Western
Ghats embrace this city to give it a beautiful touch. From Pune, the hills of
Western Ghats welcome you.
In the mid of the Western Ghats comes the Lavasa city. Lavasa city was something a totally unexplained experience. I expected the place to be good for a picnic spot but didn’t expect that the first seen of the city would make my jaws drop down. The city was all painted with different colors. It was as if you are in a fantasy world. You would never imagine but the hills of Western Ghats have a truly lovely place hidden in its lap.
Lavasa City is approx
200 kms from the city of Pune and approx. 194 kms from Mumbai. The best time to visit this beautiful city is in the rainy season
or even winters would be good. The city is in the hills of Western Ghats.
Though they are small hills but beautiful enough to win your heart. You feel
yourself closer to nature as you start climbing the hills. The hilly turns
starts and so does the excitement when you reach just one kilometer away from
the city.
You can slowly see the
bright colored multi-story buildings. There is a separate parking lot where you
can park your vehicle get the view in footsteps. Reach the city and the
beautiful gate and you will already start experiencing the different aura.
Get ready for a
spectacular view of the colors you would never have imagined. The warmth of
Pune gives you something quite cool you would love. The entry to the city is
from the Lavasa International Convention Centre.
The layout of the
centre, the vast space in front of it and the bright colors of the building in
the background will compel you to take some brilliant clicks. No doubt if you
want to be in the focus. The city is made in such a way that it is an
entertainment for both families and love couples.
Consecutive to it, the
beauty of the bridge will take your heart away. The infrastructure of the city
will make you feel the brilliance of somewhere in London or Italy. If you are
in a mood to binge there are many roadside cafés, always ready to tickle
your taste buds with their delicious delicacies. And mind you the restaurants
are not just any restaurants but the big brands to love in metros.
The city gives you the
peace of nature plus the luxury of the city at the same time. But if you are
going for a picnic in the city then make sure you go in winter season or rainy
season and reach there early so that you can enjoy a full day as the city
closes down at 5 pm. Next time, if you want to seek pleasure in Maharashtra do
visit the beautiful and lavish Lavasa city. I am sure it will be a once in a
lifetime experience for you.
