Walnut 3 is a dedicated event venue within Krushnai Resort Lonavala, set against the lush, mist-touched landscape of the Sahyadri hills that define this part of Maharashtra. The space carries the warm, grounded character that Krushnai Resort is known for — a blend of natural surroundings and resort hospitality that makes it feel distinctly different from urban banquet halls. Whether it is the earthy tones, the resort ambience just outside the doors, or the sense of being removed from city noise, Walnut 3 offers an atmosphere that immediately puts guests at ease.
The venue is suited to a range of gathering sizes and is designed to work equally well for intimate celebrations and moderately sized events. Its name is part of the Walnut series of event spaces at the resort, which points to a thoughtfully curated set of options for event planners who may need flexibility in terms of scale or configuration. The setting within a resort means that the space benefits from professional hospitality infrastructure — catering, housekeeping, and event support — available on-site.
Walnut 3 is well-positioned to host a variety of event types that draw from both the leisure and the corporate worlds. Destination weddings and pre-wedding celebrations are a natural fit given Lonavala's reputation as a sought-after weekend and event destination for guests travelling from Mumbai and Pune. The relative ease of access from both cities — Lonavala sits roughly midway on the Mumbai–Pune expressway — means that outstation guests can reach the resort without difficulty, making it practical for multi-day wedding functions.
Corporate teams also find Lonavala appealing for offsites, team-building retreats, and leadership workshops where the change of environment is itself part of the agenda. Walnut 3, as part of a full-service resort, can support such events with on-site accommodation for attendees, meals, and recreational amenities that encourage genuine downtime between sessions. Social gatherings — milestone birthdays, anniversaries, family reunions — equally suit the relaxed resort format, where the event space and the leisure facilities complement each other naturally.
Krushnai Resort Lonavala is located in Rao Colony, Lonavala, in the Pune district of Maharashtra. Lonavala is a well-established hill station on the Western Ghats, connected by the Mumbai–Pune Expressway (NH 48) and by rail on the Central Railway line, with Lonavala railway station serving both directions. The town is approximately 83 kilometres from Mumbai and around 64 kilometres from Pune, making it accessible for day-trip attendees as well as those staying overnight. The hill-station setting means that the resort environment itself — cooler air, greenery, and the seasonal drama of the monsoon — becomes part of the event experience, something no city venue can replicate.

The resort's on-site accommodation means wedding guests can stay over, making multi-day functions practical.
Corporate offsites and team retreats are a strong fit for Walnut 3, since the resort environment actively supports the objective of stepping away from a city office setting.

Lonavala's Sahyadri setting means cooler temperatures and significant rainfall during the monsoon season, which can influence both the experience and logistics of events. The lush greenery and misty atmosphere during monsoon are a draw for many guests, but event planners should factor in weather conditions when scheduling outdoor elements.

The most immediate difference is the environment: Walnut 3 sits within a hill-station resort in the Sahyadri landscape, offering cooler air, greenery, and a natural setting that urban venues simply cannot replicate. Guests benefit from on-site accommodation, resort amenities, and the overall experience of being away from the city — which is particularly valued for weddings, anniversaries, and corporate retreats. The resort format also means that the event, the meals, and the downtime all happen in one contained, professionally managed environment.
