Lonavala is the hill station on the Mumbai–Pune Expressway, about 65 km from Pune. Apart from the people who live and work here, many Pune and Mumbai families keep a second home or a bungalow in Lonavala or Khandala.
We move families who live in Lonavala, people setting up or emptying a holiday home, and staff of the schools, hotels and institutions in the area. Lonavala is outside the city, so we fix the date with you in advance and send the vehicle and team from our Moshi office with everything needed for the day.
What shifting in Lonavala is like
Most homes here are bungalows and holiday homes, small apartment buildings and older family houses. Our team works around Old Mumbai–Pune Highway, Lonavala market, Tungarli, Khandala, Bhushi Dam road and INS Shivaji road all the time, so we usually know before we arrive where the truck can stand and how the society likes moves to be done.
Lonavala gets some of the heaviest rain in Maharashtra. Between June and September we wrap furniture in plastic sheet over the usual packing and carry tarpaulins so nothing gets wet between the door and the truck.
A lot of Lonavala moves are to or from Pune and Mumbai, often furniture for a bungalow or a whole home being closed down. A move like that is normally packed, moved and set up in one day. If you only have a fridge, a bed and a few cartons, ask for few item shifting. We send a smaller tempo and you pay for that, not for a whole truck.
How a local move usually goes
Say you are shifting a 2 BHK from near Old Mumbai–Pune Highway to Talegaon. Our team of four reaches around 9 in the morning with cartons, bubble wrap and tape. The kitchen and the fragile things are packed first, then the bedrooms, then the living room, and every box gets the room name written on it. Beds and wardrobes are taken apart and the screws go into small labelled bags. By early afternoon the truck is loaded, heavy things at the bottom and fragile boxes on top. At the new place the same people unload, carry each box to its room, fit the furniture back together and take the empty cartons away. Most days like this are over by evening, and you sleep in your own bed in the new home that night.
Moving out of Pune from Lonavala
When people from Lonavala move out of Pune, the cities we hear most often are Mumbai, Bangalore, Nagpur and Delhi. We pick up from your door here and deliver to your new home, with extra packing for the long road and a message on WhatsApp when the truck leaves and when it reaches. The other way round works too: if you are moving into Lonavala from another city, we can bring your goods here or just do the unloading and setting up.
What it costs
The price changes a lot from one move to another. Taking one room from Lonavala to Talegaon is a few hours of work. A fully furnished 3 BHK on a high floor going to another state is a different job altogether. What matters most is how much you have, which floor you are on and whether there is a lift, and how far it is going. Send us a short video of your home on WhatsApp and we will reply with a written price that includes packing, loading, transport and unloading. If you can, avoid month-end weekends, when every mover in Pune is busy.
