Dhom Dam
धोम धरण
A reservoir on the Krishna River with wide waters for speedboats and banana boats, and an ancient Shiva temple on an island carved in the shape of the bull Nandi.
The Dhom Dam was built on the Krishna River in 1976 and lies about 9 km west of Wai. It can be seen from the viewpoints at Panchgani. Along the lakeshore, you can try water sports such as speedboats and banana boats, and there is an old Shiva temple carved in the shape of the sacred bull Nandi. The surrounding hills are beautiful, making it a relaxing stop on a road trip. It is busier at weekends, and the availability of water activities depends on safety conditions on the day.
