where to stay
Since the area is at a considerable distance from a small town, there are not many posh restaurants and shopping malls. Flamingo Hill is a resort run by MTDC – Maharashtra Tourism Development Corporation in the vicinity. You need to book hotel rooms in advance, especially at weekends during the monsoon. Hotel booking can be done from any MTDC tourism office or online at http://www.maharashtratourism.gov.in.
The MTDC resort has improved over the years. The resort is huge and the view is fabulous. Unlike Lonavala where one gets to see only other resorts, the view from MTDC is that of mother nature i.e. greenery and the valley. The restaurants has mix of veg and non-veg options but the options are very limited. One has to order in advance to get a decent meal. The prices are reasonable.
