Lonavala offers many picnic spots options like Ryewood Park and the garden adjacent to the Valvan Dam. Duke’s Nose, a cliff about 12 km from Lonavala, is popular with hikers and thrill-seekers. Tiger’s Leap, also known as Tiger’s Point, is a clifftop with a sheer drop of over 650 m, giving a panoramic view of the region. Sunil Kandaloor’s celebrity wax museum is another popular attraction for tourists who come to Lonavla and Khandala, where they can click selfies with popular Indian and international celebrities, including Sachin Tendulkar and Dr APJ Abdul Kalam.
