Dhom Dam is built on Krishna River, Ideal for Boating and Little Water activities, Since this Dam is located very near to Mahabaleshwar, Venna lake is very busy all the time so this is the best location to enjoy.
4. Lingmala Falls

One of the must see places in Panchgani. there are 2 falls. the left side fork is a short trek and leads to a small waterfall! lots of photogenic spots to take pics. you can even sit in the water. Going towards the right side, is a longish walk, and leads you to a viewing point where you can see the main waterfall, crashing from a great height in 3 stages. the view is wonderful. try going early in the morning so as to get parking, or the place gets totally jammed.

You need to buy the tickets to visit this place. Once you enter inside the gates you need to climb down around 200 steps. At one point there are two paths. Path to the left takes you to the Lingmala Doh Point. Which is a beautiful place with natural pond and small waterfalls created in the river. The place is covered with think forest. If yo take up the path on the right you need to climb some more steps to reach to the spot from where you can watch a beautiful Lingmala waterfall in the beautiful valley. Both places are worth visiting if you are nature and peace lover.

This is a place which must be visited at least once in your lifetime. Also, I would recommend that one visits when the flowers are in full bloom - which is around 3rd - 4th week of September. The sight is anyway amazing. One needs to be prepared with comfortable shoes, and comfortable clothes for this place. The temperatures can be a little chilly in the mornings, but gets warmer later on. The better slot is certainly in the mornings, when you can see the flowers blooming. Would recommend a night stay in Satara, rather than in Pune - there are reasonable hotels in Satara. This place is about an hour's drive from Satara (25 kms uphill). There are tickets available at the entrance - but I understand that you can book online as well. It is advisable to go along with a botanist, who can explain the flora and fauna much better - they are experienced and can figure out rare species very easily. Definitely worth a visit.

Even if you are not a history enthusiast, make sure you hire a guide while visiting this fort. Listening entire enthralling story exactly where it all happened, will give you goosebumps for sure. One of the most amazing stories of Indian history which is full of thrills, drama, and courage. I can't describe the experience in words when I visited the fort for the first time and heard this story. Reading it in books and hearing it in the fort has a huge difference because you can visualize it in the fort.

Had been tired of all over crowded places near Pune like Mulshi, Lonavala, Matheran etc etc ... so wanted to explore something new and amazing. Much awaited on my To Visit Places Sheet was "Thoseghar Waterfalls" As it was recommended in monsoon - so I was typically waiting for that perfect day to leave for it. Finally, me and my wife visited this place on Sunday. As it was raining heavily in Pune from more then 3 days - we got an idea how beautiful our trip is gonna be. And yes, we got more then what was expected. Lush Green mountains, rains, huge windmills on road , we were lost completely in this place. So we started from Pune around 7 AM, it is around 155 kms - that would take at least 4 hours when it is continuously raining. We reached around 12 [stopped for breakfast at Vitthal Kamat's] before Mahabaleshwar crossing. We followed Google Maps and it took us the right way via short cut that didn't let us enter Satara city crowd which we were not even interested. After few kilometers- you will reach Thoseghar turn, from there the entire surroundings, villages seem to been intentionally decorated by plush green colours, roads are well maintained.It was like heaven - we kept stopping at many mid points just for clicking nature's beauty and some selfies. Before 4-5 kms to Thoseghar waterfall, you will see a huge Windmill just next to road, you can stop access it and take photos if you wish to. Finally, we reached Thoseghar waterfall main gate - huge parking space - no worries. Entry ticket is Rs 30 pp. It was crowded [as expected on Sunday] but still it is very well planned and organized - so you wont feel like long queues or pushing and all. Luckily that time it stopped raining for sometime and we could make best out of it. So - there are 2 ways: 1 goes to big waterfall where there is a terrace - you can stand there and click the best pics - it is crowded, so you need to wait for few minutes to get yourself perfect stand. From there itself you will be able to see series of waterfalls - very beautiful. There is also a photographer available who can click for you as many as you want - he charges Rs 50 per print [hard copy]. Then we moved towards Small waterfall - it took some stairs and some steps [not much] to reach there... you will get very close to it.... it was so huge that we got fully drenched by its waves. Cnt define in words... may be the pics and videos will do and make you all feel it. While returning from small waterfall, there is way that takes you to the river flowing behind the small waterfall - that view was also very amazing. Then we were back to exit gate. Overall, it took us 1.5 hours to complete both Waterfalls and collecting so many memories in our phones. There are few eating points near parking and main gate for quick munchies you desire in monsoon - dont expect much. When we returned after completing our waterfalls towards Parking, we were hungry, so just next to main gate - there is small restaurant which is not well maintained and was serving very ok food. But near road side parking - there are few more outlets available where anyone can try [they look far better then the place we had snacks] I would say it is little far off from Pune - but once you reach there, you will have no regrets. Best time is always monsoon - go and collect lot of life memories of such a beautiful place .....Keep travelling !!
