Top 05 Offsite Destinations in Lonavla

Lonavla is three hours from Mumbai, two from Pune, and a world away from both. We've run team sessions there in peak monsoon, in the middle of summer, and in the quiet of November. Each time, the mountain air does something to a team's willingness to be honest with each other. These five venues set that tone best.
