Looking to book a cab from Pune to Khandala for a quick weekend escape or a spontaneous hill station drive? Tap2Tour has been running this route since 2020 — clean vehicles, drivers who know the expressway and the Ghats like the back of their hand, and one clear policy: the price you're quoted is the price you pay. Whether it's a last-minute one way taxi from Pune to Khandala with friends or a planned round trip with family, we take care of every detail so you can simply enjoy the ride.
The most favorite hill station in Maharashtra is Khandala. And the most convenient gateway from Pune is perhaps the easiest to reach, just 65 km from Pune. Set on the slopes of the Sahyadri ranges alongside the Mumbai-Pune expressway, it beckons you with mist laden valleys, cliff face of Duke's Nose, view from Tiger's Leap, Khandala Lake and the cool, cloud blanketed air which is so welcome in summer heat of Pune. It completely transforms during monsoon, with streams on every hillside, mist in the valleys and the entire region looks picture perfect, like a magazine feature.
Khandala is located right next to Lonavala and for most travellers visiting one places, they travel to the other too. Our Pune to Khandala cab service takes you the entire journey, whether you plan only to be in Khandala, or combine the visit with Lonavala, or start your Sahyadri trip from Khandala onwards. A Pune to Lonavala Khandala cab from Tap2Tour will take you in luxury, at your own pace, with your own stops.
The road distance to Khandala from Pune is around 65-70 km primarily via the Mumbai-Pune expressway (NH48). It is arguably one of the quickest outstation drive from Pune (less than 70 kms of perfectly maintained expressway with good roads). Time taken would generally be 1-1.5 hours from Central Pune.
The expressway has fantastic smooth roads and is very well lit which also makes it an option for driving at night. Towards Khandala, the road is where the thrill begins! It steadily climbs the western ghats and is lined with sharp bends, green hillsides and vast views of the valley on either side. This final few kilometers through the Ghats is what make the journey beautiful-more so during/ post monsoon when the entire slope is painted in green.
If your pick-up point is in western Pune, be it Hinjewadi, Baner, Wakad, Aundh or beyond, you would reach the expressway relatively quickly. If your pick-up point is in eastern Pune like Hadapsar, Koregaon Park or Kharadi, you will have to traverse the city traffic first which will probably take you an extra 20-30 mins, depending on the time of the day. Our drivers are accustomed to factoring in the traffic for the expressway and exit towards Khopoli for Friday evening and long-weekend morning pick-ups from Pune for a Khandala drop.

At just 65 km, Khandala is Pune's most accessible hill station. The people who book this route are as varied as the reasons they go.
The Pune–Khandala route during July and August is an experience in itself. Waterfalls appear on every hillside, the Sahyadri valleys fill with low cloud, and the entire Ghat section turns a deep, saturated green. Punekars book a cab from Pune to Khandala specifically for this — a spontaneous Saturday morning call, a quick drive up the expressway, a few hours at Tiger's Leap watching the mist roll in, and back before dinner. Our drivers know the monsoon road conditions well and navigate the Ghat section with appropriate care.
Khandala is now an institution for the Pune IT and corporate circles when it comes to team off sites, leadership off sites and for a quarter's end party. Our Pune to Khandala cab service collects teams from different office premises-Hinjewadi, Magarpatta, Baner and coalesces it into a single, coordinated trip with multiple cars if required. None are left behind and billing is simplified.
Khandala is also one of those destination spots where the visuals speak for themselves. Couples from Pune book our Pune to Khandala taxi for their anniversary and weekend getaways that don't involve flying. No stops you did not request, no pick ups you do not know about, no random passengers, just you and a private taxi driven by a chauffer who is unseen and unheard, except for what you want him to be.
Khandala has been a college weekend destination for Pune students for decades — and it still is. Friend groups of 4–8 regularly split the fare on an Ertiga or Innova booking through Tap2Tour, making the Pune to Khandala cab price per person genuinely affordable. The driver handles parking, route planning, and the return — the group just enjoys the viewpoints and the chai stops along the way.
The expressway makes the drive to Khandala easy and predictable — no rough roads, no uncertain terrain. Families with young children or older parents find a booked cab far less stressful than driving themselves, especially on the final Ghat stretch with its sharp bends. A Pune to Khandala outstation cab with a known driver, a clean vehicle, and a fixed departure time removes every variable from a family trip.
Arriving in Pune by flight or train and heading directly to a Khandala resort? Skip the auto queue and the connection drama entirely. A direct Pune airport to Khandala cab gets you from the terminal or station to your hotel door in one uninterrupted, comfortable ride. For guests arriving from Mumbai who exit at Khandala station, we offer pickup from there too — just ask when booking.
Plenty of options exist for this short route. Here's why Punekars keep coming back to us for their Pune to Khandala taxi bookings instead of switching around.

Real reviews from real travellers who made this Sahyadri drive with Tap2Tour.
"Called Tap2Tour on a Friday evening to book a cab for the same day trip to Khandala-Got a call within 10 mins after which the driver turned up at our place by 5 PM. The Dzire was clean, the ride was smooth and the charge was just what was quoted by them without surge despite the weekend holiday. Highly recommended."
"Booked a round trip Ertiga for 5 of us — Pune to Lonavala Khandala combined. Driver waited patiently while we did Tiger's Leap and Bhushi Dam, suggested a great vada pav stop near Khopoli on the way back. Total Pune to Khandala cab price was very fair. Will use again."
"Booked Tap2Tour for our office team outing of 12 people- booked a Tempo Traveller for Hinjewadi to our Khandala resort. Driver reached our place on time and had a smooth ride. No fuss with the billing and the team loved the fact that the fare was finalized with us at the time of booking and no extra money was charged from us. Have tried a lot many Khandala cab services, but Tap2Tour is the best among them."
