The Lonar Lake a.k.a. Lonar Crater was created by a meteor impact and is believed to be around 500,000 years old. It was initially belived to have been formed due to volcano. The lake is about 500ft deep and is majorly saline with few sections of fresh water. There are such 4 craters on our planet which were formed due to either comet or asteroid impact, 3 of them are in Brazil and this one's in the heart of Maharashtra. A short trek down through the forest takes you to the sarovar (lake). It is located in Buldhana district around 150kms from Aurnagabad and the roads are in a brilliant condition. A must visit place for geological enthusiastics.

Did this trek in Jul '17 and when rains were at their all time best. Traveled with a trek group and this was a big group across different age categories. Started with Sinhagad express from Pune and disembarked at Khandala. In my opinion this was the best thing. After a short breakfast the trek starts. right from the railways station at Khandala. The station will not offer any stuff you can buy, so arrive well planed. The trek from Khandala makes it interesting trek and gives you the best experience. I had a jacket, but after a spell or two decided to soak in mother nature and rolled up the jacket and got all drenched. Rains can be tricky for treks, so ensure you have good pair of shoes. you have to cross waterfall (walk through them) so be prepared, short burst of spells can mean trouble when crossing them, DO NOT underestimate water. The latter part of the trek gets steep but in my personal opinion its quite manageable. AT the top there is the temple and you can have lunch there and then the descent. Our route back was to kurvande and that was a piece of cake and very easy route, once at Kurvandem you have an option to take a local transport (Rs 30/ person) for the railway station or walk the route (~7 Kms), I took at walk and enjoyed it equally, with Tata DAm along the route it was a good walk. Back by a 3:30 local and back at home by 4:30. All in all, fun sunday.

This is a place which must be visited at least once in your lifetime. Also, I would recommend that one visits when the flowers are in full bloom - which is around 3rd - 4th week of September. The sight is anyway amazing. One needs to be prepared with comfortable shoes, and comfortable clothes for this place. The temperatures can be a little chilly in the mornings, but gets warmer later on. The better slot is certainly in the mornings, when you can see the flowers blooming. Would recommend a night stay in Satara, rather than in Pune - there are reasonable hotels in Satara. This place is about an hour's drive from Satara (25 kms uphill). There are tickets available at the entrance - but I understand that you can book online as well. It is advisable to go along with a botanist, who can explain the flora and fauna much better - they are experienced and can figure out rare species very easily. Definitely worth a visit.
