Location and Accessibility
Being around 3 km from the heart of Lonavala, Tungarli Lake is readily accessible by car or even a short auto ride. The road leading to the lake is relatively smooth, with clear signage and the route is flanked by lush greenery that begins to relax you even before you arrive. You'll find paid parking near the lake, and visitors often choose to walk the last few meters to immerse themselves in the natural surroundings. Whether you’re heading from the Bhushi Dam or the Karla Caves, Tungarli Lake fits seamlessly into any Lonavala itinerary without requiring much detour or effort.
Scenic Beauty and Surroundings
What makes Tungarli Lake stand out is its serene landscape. Fringed with tall grass, occasional wildflowers, and an open sky, the lake offers a peaceful retreat that feels far removed from city life. During the monsoon and early winter months, the surroundings come alive with lush greenery, cascading streams, and a refreshing breeze. The Western Ghats in the background add to the lake’s visual charm, especially during sunrise and sunset when golden hues reflect off the water. The lake is fed by the Tungarli Dam, which serves as a water reservoir for the region. Visitors can find plenty of space around the banks to sit, relax, or enjoy a packed picnic while soaking in the quietude. The entire area is relatively clean and uncrowded, which adds to its charm for those seeking serenity.
Ideal for Nature Walks and Photography
Tungarli Lake is particularly well-suited for nature walks and photography sessions. A walk around the lake early in the morning or late in the afternoon lets you witness the region’s calm rhythms—chirping birds, soft ripples in the water, and occasional local visitors passing by. Bird watchers might spot numerous species, while landscape photographers can capture wide-angle shots of the misty hills and shimmering lake surface. The reflections of the mountains in the clear, still water provide stunning visuals that change with the light throughout the day. Whether you're using a professional camera or your phone, Tungarli Lake is bound to reward you with frame-worthy memories.
