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 .
Lonely road along the hill side , lake at one side and the lush greenery on the other.
Never underestimate the sip of water on you ride.
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.
Pitch your tent and enjoy the chilled misty night nearby the water. Sun rise from the distance hill with the vibrant sky was just magnificent for a click.
Do you want anything more on such a village life amidst the scenery landscape closest to you city. So pack your tent and go for the parikrama on next weekend.
