HistoryEdit British periodEdit Main article: Deolali transit camp Deolali was a British Army camp 100 miles north-east of Mumbai (then called Bombay). It was the original location of the Army Staff College (now the Defence Services Staff College of India and the Command and Staff College of Pakistan). It is also the source of the British slang noun doolally tap, loosely meaning "camp fever", and referring to the apparent madness of men waiting for ships back to Britain after finishing their tour of duty. By the 1940s this had been widely shortened to just "doolally", an adjective meaning "mad (insane)" or "eccentric".[3] DemographicsEdit As of 2011 Indian Census, Deolali had a total population of 54,027, of which 28,269 were males and 25,758 were females.

Deolali doesn't has much things to do. Many of the visitors on the way from Nashik or other places come to see. But it's not worth seeing Deolali because you will not find anything there. I would recommend not to waste your time and visit this place. It's only a Military Cantonment area. Overall I found nothing to see in Deolali.
Great food. Superb quantity & unexpected QUALITY with WAHEGURU blessings of a retired army man owner.
