How to go?: Virar west ST bus depot (near platform number 2) > ST bus to Ambadi Naka > Omni van taxi accommodating 8 passengers > Dakivali police chowki > Dakivali Phata > Lohape > Lohape Talao & same way return.

We trekked along the edge of the lake with Mandakini Mountain towering us on one side. Gumtara fort can be glimpsed far at the horizon. The overall walk was of 10 km around and is on flat land with not much gradient. It was easy in winter.

This is a good camping location at the base of the Mandakini mountain if one wishes to trek to this mountain. We had our lunch here. We also passed by a tribal’s home, who welcomed us in his cool shaded place.
