He can also fetch for you bread/butter/milk/jam/chikki/tea/coffee/mineral water,etc from the market.
For meals you can try the RamaKrishna restaurant or Kailash Parbhat or ofcourse the only Lion in town - the Sher-e-Punjab at Vulvan Resort. If going for a long drive then try Sunny Da Dhaba that is 10kms from Lonavala on old Lonavala- Pune highway road. We recommend it for Non Veg food as we thoroughly enjoyed it.
Site Seeing: Lonvala and Khandala are hill stations with several valley view points. We are close to the Platinum Square.
At Lonavala the Valvan and Bushy dams are worth visiting. When you drive a little further towards Pune from Lonavala, you reach Karla, where the famous Karla, Bhaja and Bedsa Caves are situated.
Situated atop Western Ghats ( Mountain range) on Mumbai-Pune highway are the twin Hill resorts of Khandala and Lonavala. During monsoon the beauty of Khandala is enhanced when the clouds envelope them and several gushing waterfalls can be seen from the lush green hills.
In fact this is exactly the reason that must have inspired the makers of the movie 'GHULAM' to include a song 'AATI KYA KHANDALA' in their movie which has created huge waves throughout India.
