Khadakwasla Dam Tourism

Khadakwasla Dam is a dam on the Mutha River situated about 20 kilometres from the city of Pune in Maharashtra, India. The dam was built in 1879 and is one of the main sources of water for Pune and its suburbs. Spanning over a picturesque area, it is popular among tourists and locals for picnics, and leisure outings. The lush green surroundings and the calm waters of the Khadakwasla Lake, which is the reservoir formed by the dam, provide a serene escape from urban chaos. The area is equipped with small street food stalls and offers views of the Sinhagad Fort located nearby. The dam also plays a crucial role in agriculture and irrigation in the region. Along with Panshet Dam, Varasgaon Dam, and Temghar Dam, Khadakwasla is a part of the system that supplies drinking water to Pune.
