Lavasa is located in Western India, between Mumbai and Pune, in the midst of the majestic Sahyadris, nestled in an emerald green valley surrounded by hills, clouds and seasonal waterfalls. Situated 2000 to 3000 feet above sea level, it is a self contained world where people can live, work, learn and play in harmony with nature. Lavasa is home to the Karvi flower (Blue Bloom), which blooms only once in 7 years.

As you keep driving on the marked road from Chandani Chowk, you will pass a village called Bhugaon. Keep driving as you will pass another prominent landmark Manas Resort.

Drive straight ahead towards Pirangut, a few kilometers later you will pass by the Pirangut market and reach a junction known as Gothawade Phata. There is a Lavasa signage at Gothawade Phata.

Please take a left turn at Gothawade Phata. Now follow the marked road right up to a point where you see a big dam called as Temghar Dam. Now take a left at this point. Hereon begins the road to Lavasa Continue your journey straight till you reach Lavasa entry gate.
