We had seen lots of snaps on the internet about Lavasa and went out from Pune with family. This place looks like an abandoned city with all the buildings in a dilapidated state. Most of the restaurants and shops are shut down and someone told that due to environmental clearance the town project is abandoned by the developers. One has to pay an entry fee of Rs.500/- besides cost of travelling..

Lavasa is now a ghost town. Check before getting there. Its even difficult to get a decent meal in Lavasa, as almost all outlets are permanently closed. Promenade is the last remaining place to take a walk. Exercise caution, when passing over culverts/bridges. Also dont get too close to the railings. Lavasa is done for.

The city is losing its charm, and so lakeside promenade is! Walkway is good in evening, you can have a walk in evening with cool breezes, but cafes and hotels are almost closed, colorful buildings are faded now, I didn't find it attractive anymore. I must say, Lavasa is been made so beautiful, but they have failed to maintain it. So think twice if you are planning for lavasa.
