What Makes Hadashi Village Awesome

If you're looking for a peaceful getaway, look no further than the charming village of Hadashi, nestled in the Mulshi district. This hidden gem is a perfect lakeside picnic spot, featuring a stunning temple, a picturesque dam, and an abundance of natural beauty.

Hadashi is especially captivating during the monsoon season with lush greenery, and the route is dotted with vibrant plant species. Located about 60 kilometres from Chandni Chowk, it's an ideal destination for those who enjoy quick escapes from the city. At Hadashi Lake, you can unwind, soak in the calm atmosphere, spot various bird species, or even take a leisurely boat ride for just INR 50.

The Hadashi Dam is another popular spot for picnics, with plenty of opportunities for a relaxing stroll or simply unwinding by the water. The village is also home to stunning temples dedicated to Lord Ganesha and other deities. Among them, a temple with a magnificent idol of Lord Panduranga stands out as an architectural marvel. The surrounding mountains, paddy fields, and diverse fauna make Hadashi a must-visit destination for nature lovers and peace seekers alike.

How To Reach

The best way is to drive down to the location. It is a two hour drive from Pune and the distance is 50 kilometres from the city. To reach Hadashi there are two routes. One goes from Chandni Chowk to Pirangut to Paud to Hadshi, and the other one is from the old Pune-Mumbai road.

Best Time To Visit

The ideal time to visit Hadashi Village is during the monsoon season, from June to September. The surrounding greenery is lush and vibrant. However, the months following the monsoon from October to February, also offer a great experience with cooler weather, clear skies, and a tranquil atmosphere for a peaceful visit. 

Tips For Visiting

Be sure to bring your camera. This picturesque village offers endless opportunities to capture its lush green farms, quaint huts, and rustic rural life. The network connectivity is a major issue here, so carry enough cash. The village is small but surprisingly, it has many beautiful holiday cottages and restaurants. You can stay at the Cozy Cottage, a lovely homestay that's across the lake. It will cost you around INR 4,500 for one night.
