Girivan - a private hill station near Pune

Sahyadri mountain range in monsoon is enchanting. Last weekend we had a nice over night trip at private hill station in Sahyadri near Pune, aptly named Girivan. One of my colleague Mr. Shirambekar (call on 9820552621 for bookings) have a bungalow there and for his persistent invitation we decided to make it.



Girivan happens to be a hill station in Hotale village near Kolvan of Mulshi taluka of Pune district. Approximately at 2400 feets above sea level and 400 feet above the lonavala hill station, naturally the climate is cool and refreshing. Add to that the monsoon dimension of water falls around the hills and freshness of air.



This area as I learnt was private property of versatile marathi stage and television actor Vikram Gokhale and developed by his realty firm Sujata Farms of Pune. Being close to Pune (Paud Road is just 10 Km away), many week end picnickers thrive here. Public transport is dependent on State Transport buses till kolvan, so you need to hire a vehicle or take your own. The property is well developed and secured from all the sides with private security firms and maintenance staff.


The food, can be arranged from a restaurant in the complex and is good as well as affordable. The area near the restaurant is developed on the basis of theme park, with natural water fall to be developed for year around in near future.

Many houses can be availed for rent in Girivan with the help of developers and their housekeeping team at affordable rates.

Not a cheap and affordable stay now. Now a room starts from Rs. 2500 onwards. I had enjoyed a cottage Rs. 600 per night. But it's really expensive now. Hope the Girivan Admin may slash the charges as people visiting here are not for luxury but for peace.
