Neighborhood

The Purohit Holiday Resort puts you right in the middle of everything happening in Lonavala town, perfect for exploring on foot. The closest places of importance are the Lonavala railway station and the main ST bus stand; having both less than a five-minute walk away makes getting here or leaving incredibly simple, plus this is just the spot to use local transport for more far-flung sightseeing. Right at your doorstep is bustling Lonavala market—famous for its shops selling the local sweet treat ‘chikki’—providing not only an interesting but truly authentic local shopping experience.

Choices for eating are practically inexhaustible within walking distance. There is a huge stock of restaurants on the streets around the resort, simple and authentic Maharashtrian eateries, well-known vegetarian restaurants, and popular chains, where one can find a different place to eat for every meal without taking a taxi or auto-rickshaw ride. This unbelievable convenience for finding food is one big plus to the central location of the hotel.

For some relaxation and greenery, the lovely Ryewood Park sits an easy 15-minute stroll away from the hotel. This big, neat public garden has plenty of ancient trees on view and gives a calm break from the noisy shopping zone. Lonavala Lake, a pretty place more so in the rainy months can be reached by another longer but simple walk of about 20-25 minutes. This legibility to transit, food places, and area spots makes up one of the hotel's top plus points.
