Located just an hour’s drive (15km) outside Pune, Khadakwasla Dam is one of the oldest reservoirs (1863), with roots that date back to India’s colonial era. It’s also the main source of water for Pune, and quite a few important facilities are located within its vicinity – like the NDA, CME, and Central Water and Power Research Station (CWPRS). Picturesque surroundings make it an ideal spot for picnicking, street food at the nearby ‘chowpatty’, and for watching the sunrise/sunset.
Sinhagad Fort is also close by, and if you’d rather stay overnight near Khadakwasla – check out this boat-style cabin that is built over the lake.
