The bluish water and the surrounding hills at Panshet dam

Want to go for weekend adventure trip around the bluish water surrounding with lush green hills ,lets ride around Panshet lake. Lying along the green belt of Sahyadri mountains,Panshet dam  is built over Ambi river situated around 40 km southwest of aPune city.     A perfect gateway to enjoy with  the  nature near the city.

Let’s call our trip as Panshet parikrama, as it goes around the lake by the narrow roads around it. You can observe the bluish color change of water upon the  sunlight reflection. Sharp hairpins of the off road , few climbs makes your legs burning and same way enjoy the thrilling off-road downhill as you are flying on the road inside the jungle .

Just imagine that scenery that we practices as drawing class with the hill reflected on the lake with those thick bushes.

There are plenty of resorts and farm houses around the dam. Never forget to taste a delicious  authentic Maharashtrian meal from the kitchen of villagers.
