PANSHET DAM

Panshet dam is on the Ambi river just 50 km from Pune. Its backwater has become an exciting picnic spot for tourist from Pune and other cities of Maharashtra. This dam was constructed in 1950. This dam along with other nearby dams like Khadakwasala,Varasgaon, and Temghar are constructed for Irrigation and water supply to Pune City.

MTDC Resort Pune 

. The MTDC resort is conveniently located on a hillock between the two dams—Panshet and Varasgaon. The backwaters of both lie almost parallel and run into kilometers. And the endless roads abutting the backwaters are often a pleasure to drive, Panshet is about 50 km from Pune, on the right side of the Pune–Satara highway. One crosses the Khadakvasla dam before reaching Panshet. There are two boating clubs—one in the Panshet backwaters and another in the Varasgaon backwaters. Both are within walking distance of the resort. There are rowboats, speed boats, and kayaking options. But the best thing to do is to take a long walk on the road observing little birds and talk with local villagers and observe their daily life. The road by the Panshet backwaters stretches about 30 kilometers to a village (that’s a dead-end). The road by Varasgaon backwater will take you to Dasave at about 30 km from Panshet. Dasave is where Lavasa city is being built. The Panshet MTDC resort is recently renovated and opened after being closed for over 6 years. The rooms are simple and clean. The restaurant menu has basic food choices, but whatever is available is tasty.
