About Pavana Lake
Pavana Lake is the reservoir of the Pavana Dam, about an hour from Lonavala through the Maval countryside. It is best known for lakeside camps where groups gather around a bonfire under the stars.
If camping isn’t your thing, a drive to the lake for sunset and a return to a villa in Lonavala makes for an easy, relaxed evening.
