Mango Leaf Lake Resort

About Mango Leaf Lake Resort

Mango Leaf Lake Resort suits travellers who want a quiet base on the outskirts of Pune, away from the city centre. The resort has a garden, an outdoor pool and a kids' pool, making it a practical choice for families. Couples may find the calm setting agreeable, while business travellers can use the free Wi-Fi and 24-hour front desk. The property is close to Khadakwasla, an area known for its dam and reservoir, though no major sights lie within five kilometres.

This is a 3-star resort, so expect simple, functional comforts rather than luxury. The listed facilities include air conditioning, room service, a restaurant, bars and banquet space. The resort has lifts and wheelchair access, which helps guests with limited mobility. A 24-hour front desk and security are in place for late arrivals. The star rating reflects a mid-range stay, suitable for those who prioritise convenience and a relaxed setting over city-centre proximity.

Rooms and listed facilities

The resort lists air conditioning in its rooms, which is useful during Pune's hot months from March to May. Family rooms are available, and the kids' pool suggests children are welcome. For business travellers, the free Wi-Fi and room service support a working stay. The 24-hour front desk helps with late check-ins, and the safe offers a place for valuables.

The resort has lifts, so upper-floor rooms are accessible. Internet access is listed, but the speed and coverage in each room may vary. Laundry service is available, which is handy for longer stays. The restaurant and bars are on site, so you do not need to leave the property for meals. Confirm the restaurant's opening hours and menu options at check-in.

The setting

Mango Leaf Lake Resort is on NDA Road near Malai Mata Mandir in Khadakwadi, Khadakwasla, on the outskirts of Pune. The area is more open and less congested than the city centre. Shaniwar Wada, the old city centre, is about 18 kilometres away in a straight line. Pune Junction railway station is roughly 20 kilometres, and Swargate bus station about 17 kilometres. The airport at Lohegaon is about 27.5 kilometres away, so plan for a longer transfer.

The resort's location suits those who do not need daily access to central Pune. Koregaon Park, known for its restaurants and cafes, is about 22 kilometres away. Hinjewadi IT Park, a major employment hub, is about 19 kilometres. The nearest notable sights are beyond five kilometres, so you will need transport. Free car parking is listed, which helps if you drive. For those relying on public transport, check taxi availability or bus routes with the front desk.

Location and neighbourhood

These areas include the Mumbai–Pune Expressway corridor, the roads towards Nagar Road and Solapur Road, and the zones around Hinjewadi and Chakan. They are quieter than the centre, with more open space and a slower pace. The Pune metropolitan area's growth has pushed hotels, residential complexes and commercial hubs into these fringes. For food lovers and evening outings, the outskirts offer a different rhythm from the city core. Local eateries, dhabas and casual bars dot the highways. The air is fresher, and the night sky is clearer away from the central glare.

Getting there and around

Mango Leaf Lake Resort sits on the outskirts of Pune, about 27.5 km from Pune International Airport and around 20.1 km from Pune Junction. The Mumbai–Pune Expressway is the main artery for reaching the city centre or heading towards Lonavala and Mumbai. Local buses run along the main highways, and app-based taxis are available. The Pune Metro currently does not reach most outskirt areas; check the current network for extensions. For getting around, a hired car or taxi is the most practical option. The roads are generally wide and less congested than in the inner city, but traffic on the Expressway can build up during peak hours.

Nearby sights and food

The outskirts are not dense with historic sights, but a short drive brings you to the city's core landmarks. Shaniwar Wada, the 18th-century Peshwa palace, is within reach. Lal Mahal, where Shivaji spent his boyhood, is nearby. Dagdusheth Halwai Ganpati temple draws large crowds, especially during Ganeshotsav. Tulshibaug market offers a busy shopping experience. Mahatma Phule Mandai is a large vegetable market worth a visit. For a quieter outing, the hills and forts such as Sinhagad are a short drive away.

Evenings on the outskirts revolve around food. Highway dhabas serve Punjabi and North Indian dishes, often cooked in a tandoor. Misal pav and vada pav are available at small stalls. Local bars and casual restaurants offer beer and snacks. The area has a growing number of multi-cuisine places, from Chinese to South Indian. For a sweet finish, bakarwadi and Shrewsbury biscuits are local favourites. Mastani, a thick milkshake with ice cream, is a Puneri specialty. The dining scene is informal and affordable, with a focus on hearty meals rather than fine dining.

A day from Mango Leaf Lake Resort

A day from Mango Leaf Lake Resort starts with a drive into the city centre. Visit Shaniwar Wada in the morning, then walk to Lal Mahal and Dagdusheth Halwai Ganpati. Tulshibaug market is nearby for browsing. For lunch, find a local eatery serving a Puneri thali or misal pav. In the afternoon, head to the Pataleshwar caves or Mahatma Phule Mandai. Return to Mango Leaf Lake Resort in the late afternoon. In the evening, explore a highway dhaba for dinner, or try a casual bar for drinks and snacks. The outskirts are quiet after dark, making for a relaxed end to the day. The drive back to Mango Leaf Lake Resort is short and easy.
