‪We were looking to complete a tour of tourist spots around Lonavala and came upon this when searching for all the tourist spots on the internet.

Since we visited this during the monsoon, the best part to see is all the streams and the waterfall flowing right beside the staircase. In fact, at the higher levels, the water flows right through the staircase itself. The scene up is visually stunning though one also needs to be careful as the stairs become pretty slippery during rain, and thus, it is best to wear shoes having a good grip.

The views themselves from the top of the staircase are stunning, though. You can see the entire expanse of land covered in green with small and big streams of water, eventually turning into a waterfall and flowing down the hills. While climbing up the staircase, you will find colorful flora, including some beautiful wildflowers growing beside the staircase and tiny tadpoles and colorful frogs along the path.

Higher up, the rains did seem to increase, but the cool wind and the surrounding area are soothing to the mind. The place is serene and one of the best to visit to see nature at its best and find tranquility and peace.‬

‪Bedse Caves : Worth visit‬

‪Bedse Caves : Visit in Rainy season will be great.

Bedse caves are located @ 55 km from Pune. Take diversion from Kamshet on old Pune Mumbai Highway. It is national heritage sight, rock cut by buddhist and may from 1BCE.

Huge rock has two caves Stupa and Viahar. Meditation center as well residence. It is typical chaitya stupa and another caves which has baracks in half circle.

One has to climb @ 450steps to get there and enjoy panoramic view and as usual see the fresh water small pond on top of the the hill. It would eb too good, green and enjoyable in rainy season.

Worth visiting.‬

‪Buddhist Caves near Pawana Lake‬

العائلة •

‪Buddhist Caves near Pawana Lake. Road to the caves is really narrow with hardly space for even one 4 wheeler. Little space for parking and the climb to the caves will be strenous if its hot and sunny.‬

‪Off the beaten Tracks: Anstrengend, aber sehr lohnenswert!‬

‪Der Aufstieg zu den Bedse Höhlen erfolgt über 420 gut ausgebaute Stufen, was schon ein wenig anstrengend ist. Dafür wird man zum einen mit einem grossartigen Ausblick belohnt, zum anderen sind die Höhlen etwas ganz besonderes. Die Bedse Höhlen sind von Buddhisten im 1. Jahrhundert v.Chr. angelegt worden, d.h. In einer Zeit, als Buddha noch nicht als Person dargestellt wurde. Es gibt zwar sehr schöne figürliche Darstellungen von Personen und Elefanten und Pferden, diese finden sich aber nur an den Kapitellen der Eingangshalle der Chaitya Gebetshalle. Diese Halle ist wunderschön, von nichttragenden Säulen umgeben, mit einem schönen Stupa am Ende der Halle. Die Schlichtheit der Höhlen, auch Viharas und ein kleiner Stupa links vom Haupteingang zur Gebetshalle sind zu sehen. Die absolute Ruhe hier oben und die Schlichtheit der Anlage selbst machen einen Besuch der Bedse Höhlen zu einem einmaligen Erlebnis.‬

‪Sehr eindrucksvoll‬

بمفردك •

‪Die buddhistischen Höhlen sind sehr eindrucksvoll. Es gibt mehrere Orte die sehr unterschiedlich sind. Am bekanntesten, mit den schönsten Steinhauerarbeiten fand ich die Karla Caves. Dort ist aber auch der meiste Touristenansturm. Viel ruhiger und landschaftlich schöner gelegen fand ich die Bahja Caves. ‬

بمفردك •

‪I had visited this place on public transport from pune.I boarded the lonavla local train at 10 am and reached Kamshet at 11 am.From there i boarded shared jeep to Bedse village cross by paying 15rs.From there we need to walk for 2.5 kms to reach the caves.It is very hot in pune and i could manage to reach the caves by 11.45.There are 2 caves which are worth visiting.In the first cave we can see a buddist stupa and second one looks like a sleeping hall for buddist monks.‬

‪Unexplored, less crowded spot‬

‪If you are in Talegaon which is just ahead of lonavala then you can make a visit here if you want to do a small hike.
There are close to 400 steps here which is suggested to be hiked during monsoon and winter to enjoy the greenery.
