Mumbai to Lonavala distance is 72 kms. Famous for a traditional Indian sweet made from ground nuts and jaggery called 'chikki' and popular as a hill station, Lonavala is well connected to Mumbai by road and train. However, the best way to reach Lonavala from Mumbai is by road, a journey of about 1 hour 20 minutes by car. Several ATMs, hospitals, rest stops and dhabas fall on the way. Restaurants such as Appetite, McDonald's and Sunrise are present on the route. Petrol pumps of Hindustan Petroleum (HP) and Indian Oil, among others, are also available at regular intervals.
The major drive is through the Express Way. The Mumbai Pune Expressway (officially Yashwantrao Chavan Expressway) is India's first six-lane concrete, high-speed, access controlled tolled expressway. It spans a distance of 94.5 km connecting Mumbai, the capital of Maharashtra state and the financial capital of India, with Pune, the cultural and educational capital of Maharashtra. The expressway, which was fully operationalized in 2002, introduced new levels of speed and safety in automobile transportation to Indian roads. It is one of India's busiest roads.
The expressway starts at Kalamboli in Mumbai and ends at Kiwale in Pune. It cleaves through the scenic Sahyadri mountain ranges through passes and tunnels. It has five interchanges: Kon (Shedung), Chowk, Khalapur, Kusgaon and Talegaon. The expressway has two carriageways, each with three concrete lanes, separated by a central divider and a tarmac or concrete shoulder on either side. Pedestrians, two-wheelers, three-wheelers, bullock carts and tractors are not permitted, although tractor-trailers (semi-trailer rigs) are permitted. Vehicles are also prohibited from halting on the expressway.
The Bhatan Tunnel is the first tunnel which one crosses on Mumbai-Pune Expressway when driving from Mumbai. The two-tube Tunnel, which is named after the village Bhatan pada located nearby is 1.053 km long on Mumbai to Pune side and 1.088 long on Pune to Mumbai side. The areas located near the tunnel are Neral, Badlapur, and Khopoli.
