Khadakwasla Dam And Chowpati

About

Khadakwasla Dam, a marvel on the Mutha River, graces the landscape just 20 km from the vibrant city of Pune. The region is not only a hub of academic excellence but also boasts the historic Sinhagad Fort to the south and the twin dams of Panshet and Varasgaon to the west, contributing to the enchanting landscapes surrounding Khadakwasla Lake. Khadakwasla Dam encountered a significant historical event in 1961, when it faced an unexpected breach. This event, though often misunderstood, was not an intentional demolition but rather a consequence of the dam succumbing to forces beyond its design capacity. Despite this past challenge, Khadakwasla Dam stands resilient, inviting visitors to witness not just its engineering prowess but also the tranquil beauty it adds to the Pune region.
