Off-roading is dangerous, and this trail is not verified by us.
4x4trails.in is an informational directory. We compiled this trail from public and government sources — we have NOT surveyed, driven, tested or physically verified it on the ground, and we do NOT guarantee it is accurate, complete, safe, passable, or legal. Conditions can change without notice.
You are responsible for your own safety and for obeying the law. Before you go, you must: check that you are legally allowed to enter and drive this route — some areas are private land or Forest Department / protected areas where driving without a permit or permission is a criminal offence, and it can lead to your vehicle being seized and to fines or prosecution; judge for yourself whether the route, the weather, water crossings and your vehicle and skill are safe — off-roading can cause serious injury, death, or loss of your vehicle; carry proper recovery gear, offline navigation, and a way to call for help, and do not rely on this site for navigation or in an emergency.
This is not theoretical. Across India, drivers have had their vehicles impounded and seized, and have faced heavy fines, FIRs and prosecution, for taking 4x4s into reserved and protected forests, wildlife sanctuaries, eco-sensitive zones and dry riverbeds without permission. Under the Wildlife (Protection) Act 1972 and the Indian Forest Act 1927 the vehicle itself can be confiscated. Assume the penalty is losing your vehicle and a court case — not just being turned away.
By continuing you confirm you have read this, you use this trail entirely at your own risk, and you agree to our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy. You accept that 4x4trails.in and its operators are not responsible for what happens on any trail.

About this trail
Lonavala Sahyadri Trails is a moderate-rated off-road trail near Pune, Maharashtra over Mud, Rock terrain. As a moderate route it's a step up that rewards low-range, decent ground clearance and some prior off-road time.
The trail is at its best in post-monsoon and winter, and is usually impassable during the monsoon.
Run it in a convoy rather than solo; it best suits experienced drivers.
Lonavala Sahyadri Trails has unconfirmed access status — verify locally before you go. No formally notified sanctuary boundary could be confirmed for the Lonavala fort/lake driving areas (the often-cited ‘Rajmachi Wildlife Sanctuary’ is not confirmed in the official Forest-Dept registry). Much of the Pawna/Tungarli terrain is private farm/village land — lawful driving generally needs local landowner permission. Sahyadri monsoon (Jun–Sep) washes out tracks..
It's one of the off-road routes shared on 4x4 Trails India — check the difficulty, distance and terrain above before you plan a run, and always ride with people who know the route.
Can my vehicle do it? A stock 4×4 with low-range is comfortable. Carry basic recovery gear.
