Reviews Of Mulshi Lake and Dam

Pune, Maharashtra, India
Mulshi Lake and Dam is a popular ecotourism destination renowned for its breathtaking natural beauty, especially during the Monsoon season (June to September). The dam, built across the Mula River, was a significant undertaking initiated in the early 1920s and completed in 1927 by the Tata Power Com pany. Its primary purpose was, and remains, the generation of hydroelectric power at the Bhira hydroelectric plant, which famously supplies a large portion of its electricity to Mumbai. The massive reservoir formed by the dam is known as Mulshi Lake. The lake is nestled amidst the majestic and untouched western edge of the Sahyadri mountain range. The surrounding landscape features deep forests, rolling hills, and a rich variety of local flora and fauna, making it an ideal escape from the urban environment of Pune. The tranquility of the blue-green water against the backdrop of lush, verdant hills attracts nature lovers, photographers, and weekend travelers seeking peace and solitude. The region around the lake has evolved over the decades, transitioning from a purely utility area to a major tourist spot. It offers numerous private resorts, homestays, and camping sites that cater to visitors, allowing them to fully immerse themselves in the region’s calm atmosphere. The drive through the winding roads to Mulshi itself is part of the experience, offering scenic vistas and a refreshing change of pace. It's a place where modern industrial achievement (the dam) coexists perfectly with unspoiled natural grandeur (the lake and hills).
