Lonar Lake or Lonar crater is a National Geo-heritage Monument, inside the Deccan Plateau. It is a saline and alkaline lake located in Buldhana district.

Lonar Lake has a mean diameter of 1.2 kilometres and maximum depth of 137 metres. The sides of the basin rise abruptly at an angle of about 75°. A series of small hills surround the basin.
