Create an itinerary including Ekvira Devi Temple
See a once-center of Buddhism, now a Hindu temple in the cave at Ekvira Devi Temple. The Goddess Ekvira is worshipped in the caves by the Koli fishermen community and the local tribes. Participate in the festivals organized here, ranging from traditional dances to folk musical festivals, all in the name of the Hindu goddess. The somewhat tiring climb is eased by ample shops for refreshment and resting areas, and rewarded with spectacular view from the temple. Be careful of the monkeys and protect your valuables. Taking photos is prohibited. Planning Lonavala trip won't be overwhelming when you use Inspirock's itinerary maker.

  • A very beautiful temple situated on the top of the mountain. They have 350 odd steps to climb.. in case you going by public transport or your own vehicle, then you can by pass those 200 steps and have to take the rest 150 steps. This temple can be visited anything during the year. Due to its proximity to Lonavala, it has a delightful climate. You can certainly appreciate the beauty of nature as you walk up the steps toward the temple. You can consider visiting during the rainy season as you can find waterfalls, and the entire Ghat is covered with greenery. This makes the landscapes even more glorified.
