Khandala Ghat starts marks the dramatic entry to the Western Ghats' winding highway — shoot sweeping valley vistas, mist-filled mornings, winding switchbacks, roadside waterfalls and monsoon-green slopes. Best at golden hour and sunrise for layered light; monsoon (Jun–Sep) brings lush color and mist but slippery roads. Easily reached by car/bus from Lonavala; parking is informal in lay-bys — avoid standing on carriageway. No entry fee; popular on weekends with locals.
