1) Get off the Mumbai – Pune Expressway at Lonavla (Valvan exit).
2) Join the old Mumbai-Pune Highway (NH4), going towards Pune.
3) Drive to Kamshet and then 5-6km beyond Kamshet to the next railway station of Kanhe Phata. Just before Kanhe Phata you’ll pass Toni da dhaba (on left) and then an HP petrol pump (on left). Immediately after the petrol pump, take a left turn. This road goes to Kanhe station and Takve village.
4) Drive to and cross the Kanhe Phata railway crossing and continue on this road for 40 kilometres.
5) You will pass the village of Takve and then finally come to the village of Khandi. (Takve is the last big village. Mobile connectivity ends here.)
6) At Khandi take a right turn to Nilshi (4 km away). You will see a big signboard indicating Camp Lakeside.
7) At Nilshi village turn right again and about 1.5 km away is Camp Lakeside, the campsite.

From Lonavla, Camp Lakeside, Nilshi is about 65 km away. However, after Kanhe Phata you will be travelling on village roads so expect the journey from Kanhe to Camp Lakeside to take at least 2 hours.
