Lonavala
25 April 2015


To celebrate the end of the school year our girls enjoyed an educational and scenic day visiting sites in the beautiful Lonavala region in the hills between Pune and Mumbai
Our Day
We left our Janata Vasahat neighbourhood at 8:00 in the morning in a single tightly-packed bus. However, we yet managed enough space to dance and sing for the entire 2-hour journey to Lonavala! We first enjoyed the increasingly-beautiful scenery as we left urban Pune behind and began ascending the mountain slopes. Reaching Lonavala, our first stop was Kaivalaydham, a famous research center for yoga and ayurveda, spread over a beautiful landscaped 180-acre campus. We toured the whole facility and enjoyed a film presentation. We also enjoyed a very full, vegetarian lunch, and some leisure time to wander the park-like grounds. Our next destination was a Wax Museum where we 'met' famous international and Indian persons. Our final stop for the day was the beautiful new Saibaba Temple at Shirgaon, and architectural and artistic marvel.Acknowledgements
