Pavana Dam Pune

Pavana Dam Pune

The Pavana Dam constructed across the Pavana River has shaped Pavana Lake. Pavana Lake is an artificial lake, which enables tourists to enjoy an amazing view of Tunga, Lohagad and Tikona Forts. Pavana Lake is located near Pavananagar in Kamshet. It is a popular picnic spot for tourist from Pune, Lonavala & Mumbai. This is a pleasant place to spend some time with family and friends. The backwaters of this dam offer a delightful view. Tourist can enjoy various adventurous activities at this place like boating.

Distance from Mumbai: 110 Kilometers.

Distance from Pune: 70 Kilometers.

Distance from Lonavala – Khandala: 26 Kilometers.

The road from Kamshet to Pavana Dam is small road and not in very good condition. But this route is quite picturesque throughout. On the way one can see signs for Bedse caves which is just 4-5 kms off this route. There is not much options for food or water here. Once you cross the underpass for Expressway, take the right turn at Paud road junction. The dam is visible from the main road itself, but to get view off lake once must travel a bit ahead on the road which leads to Lohgad. This is the same route that will take you to Lonavala.

There are not many options for food that I could spot. On the way I came across Lohgad Resort and Boating club. They offer decent food. Tried the boating here, was quite good. They charge Rs.300 for scooter ride, and Rs.150 per head for motorboat. They do have nice speed boat but the charge was Rs.1200 for 4 person.

Oh yes I forget to mention about, if in case you want to stay there, you can call to Pavana Boat Club. They have their cottage to the other end of the dam. They will carry you by Boat to their cottages on the bank of backwater of Pavana dam and your meal arrangement will be done at your stay location. You need not to worry about anything. On second day boat will come at your cottages to pick you up.
