How To Reach Wilson Dam

Bhandardara, Maharashtra, India
The Wilson Dam, officially known as Bhandardara Dam, is an iconic and historic masonry gravity dam constructed on the Pravara River. Completed in 1926, it is one of the oldest dams in India and stands as a magnificent testament to British colonial-era engineering and an important public work project of the time. The construction was initiated in 1910 and took 16 years to complete, with the purpose of providing irrigation water to the dry regions of the Ahmednagar district. The dam's colossal wall holds back the vast waters of Arthur Lake, which serves as the region's main reservoir and the scenic heart of Bhandardara. Tourists can walk along the crest of the dam wall, offering unparalleled views of the massive reservoir on one side and the gorge of the Pravara River on the other. At its base lies the picturesque Bhandardara Garden (or Ratanwadi Garden), a perfect spot for relaxation and viewing the famous, seasonal Umbrella Falls that form when the dam overflows. The dam is both a vital piece of infrastructure and a prime tourist attraction.
