Neighbourhood Guide: Tungarli and Upper Lonavala
Tungarli Lake is a 1930 British-built water reservoir, not a natural scenic lake, and Upper Lonavala's real appeal is quiet, elevation and proximity to the Rajmachi trekking trail rather than closeness to Lonavala's own town centre. Understand the lake's actual function before assuming its water access behaves like a purely recreational body.
