Aamby Valley City
Aamby Valley City is a planned luxury township, not a historic town: go for a weekend of resort stays, lake views and the Korigad fort trek, or skip if you want cultural sights.
Aamby Valley City is a private hill-station development in the Western Ghats, 23 km from Lonavala. It has a golf course, a lake, and the Korigad fort. Most visitors come for a resort weekend or a day-trip from Pune or Mumbai. The township is gated and built around the Aamby Valley City Resort.
