Pawna Lake
पवना धरण
A reservoir lake surrounded by hill forts such as Lohagad and Tikona. Tent camping on the shore and bonfire barbecues are popular weekend activities.
Pawna Lake is a reservoir on the Pavana River, about 20 km from Lonavla. From its shores you can see the hill forts of Lohagad, Visapur, Tikona and Dudhivare all at once. Many lakeside campsites offer overnight camping packages that include tents, a barbecue dinner, a bonfire and music, costing about 1500 to 3000 rupees per person. You can also go boating and kayaking. The sunset and the night sky are the highlights. Campsite quality varies, so read reviews before booking, and note that some campsites close during the monsoon.
