Mulshi Lake & Dam
मुळशी धरण
A large reservoir on the Mula River; resorts dot the bays of the lake, which is surrounded by mountains, and it is where Pune residents go on weekends to unwind by the water.
The reservoir was built in the 1920s. Its winding lake is surrounded by the hills of the Western Ghats. In the monsoon, the vegetation is lush, and in winter the water is calm, making it a good place to watch sunrise and sunset. Along the shores are many resorts, campsites and farm-stay venues, where visitors can go boating and cycling. It is about 45 km from Pune, and the route to Tamhini Ghat follows the lake.
