Updated 28 Oct 2026

A residential and hostel-heavy campus, with many students from other states, so batches, clubs and fest committees of 15 to 40 plan trips on weekends and between exams. They usually want a per-head amount that works for a mixed group, women-friendly stays and a pickup at the campus gate rather than in central Pune.

Getting started from Symbiosis Lavale

The university lists its main campus at Gram Lavale, Tal Mulshi, Pune 412115. Lavale lies west of Pune city, on the Mulshi side, and is a drive away from the nearest railway station.
Pune airport is on the opposite side of the city, so allow for city traffic when planning an airport transfer.

The campus is outside the city grid, so groups usually leave from the campus gate. A fixed departure time and a named return time matter more than the vehicle type, because students are far from home.

College trips from Symbiosis Lavale: questions people ask

Lonavala and Khandala are about 75 km, Kolad about 110 km, Panchgani about 115 km and Mahabaleshwar about 135 km. Alibaug is about 140 km. Goa is about 455 km, an overnight drive or a short flight from Pune.

Lonavala at about 75 km is the shortest, and the route avoids central Pune. Kolad at about 110 km suits a group wanting rafting in season. Both fit a Saturday departure and a Sunday evening return, and we confirm real drive time before you commit.

It is possible, about 135 km and 3 to 3.5 hours each way, but the ghat roads are slow. One night lets the group see the viewpoints without a rush, so we usually plan a two-day trip. Strawberries are a winter highlight.

The rule belongs to the university, not to us, so ask your faculty coordinator or office what is needed: a trip letter, guardian consent for anyone under 18 or an accompanying teacher. Once you know, we shape the brief to match, with the route, vehicle, stay and cancellation terms written out. Gozy Trips is not affiliated with the institution.

The university lists campuses across Pune and in other cities. This page covers the main Lavale campus in Mulshi. If your group leaves from another Pune location, tell us, because the pickup point and the road km change. Gozy Trips is not part of Symbiosis.
