Khandala (Marathi: खंडाळा) is a hill station in the Western Ghats in the state of Maharashtra, India, about three kilometres from Lonavala and seven kilometers from Karjat.
Khandala is located at one (top) end the Bhor Ghat, a major ghat (meaning valley in Marathi) on the road link between the Deccan Plateau and the Konkan plain. The ghat carries an extensive amount of road and rail traffic. The Mumbai-Pune Expressway, the main link between the major cities of Mumbai and Pune, passes through Khandala.
Due to the ease of accessibility from nearby cities, Khandala is a common area for hiking. One destination is the nearby peak of Duke's Nose, which offers a panaromic view of Khandala and the Bhor Ghat.
The town was referenced in a popular song from the Hindi film Ghulam named "Aati kya Khandala?" ("Will you come to Khandala?") |

It is approximately mid-way between Bombay (Mumbai) and Pune, near the hill town of Mahabaleshwar. It is renowned for its scenic beauty as it overlooks the western ghats. A large number of the elite from Bombay, including filmstars, have their holiday homes there. The climate is pleasant all year long, and it is an ideal getaway from either bombay or pune over a weekend. |

Its a hill station about 600m high, located on the W. Ghats, about 3hrs drive from Mumbai and 2 hrs from Pune. You can see it on Google Earth. Plenty of buses and trains go there from Mumbai and Pune, as well as pvt taxis. Very crowded during weekends and holidays. Misty during the rains and cool in winters. Summers are as hot as Mumbai. Good views of deep valleys, waterfalls and mountains but very littered and crowded nowadays. Watch out for the monkey menace. Lonavla is a few km away, famous for its chikki and fudge. Off season, if there is one, is preferable. |
