Pavana Lake Lonavala A perfect weekend destination
The Indian joint family system may have undergone a transformation under the influence of modern living but its ethos and its culture live on. Families still care for their members and lend support in times of need. On festivals or special occasions, the extended family comes together, to dine, laugh and share the good times. You will often see families meeting up for a holiday or a picnic to reconnect with all the members. My family upholds this tradition too. And, this year we had our annual get-together at the Shivom Resort near Pavana Lake in Maharashtra. the pictures give you a glimpse of the immense joy of spending time with near and dear ones at this beautiful resort.
My two days photo walk at Pavana Lake, Lonawala, Pune, Maharashtra ( INDIA )
Pavana Lake, also known as Pavana Dam Reservoir and Pawna Lake, is a reservoir turned artificial lake in the Indian state of Maharashtra, formed by the Pavana Dam across the Pavana River in Pune district.
… Pawna Lake is just around 20 kilometers away from the Lonavala Railway Station.
There is good road connectivity from Pune, Lonavala, and Mumbai to Pawna Lake. The nearby town of Kamshet, off the Mumbai-Pune Expressway, is also known as Pawna Dam Reservoir. The reservoir is 25 km from Lonavala and is increasingly getting popular as a picnic and camping site for visitors from Pune and Mumbai. This is one of the quick weekend getaways and is considered one of the best camping near Pune and Mumbai. the wonderful nature is open all season and for people of all age groups. Camping in monsoons provides a perfect retreat. Sleeping under the stars with a background score of crickets and a faint breeze crams the tiredness out and fills it with new energy.
Pawna lake camping is really famous and attracts a lot of corporate and young crowd. Tents are placed around the periphery of the lake and one can enjoy the meals and recreation on the waterfront. The establishment becomes lively with live music, bonfire, games, and barbeque dinner, turning the evening into a perfect getaway. Pawna Lake’s geographical location in the Western Ghats makes it a natural hot spot for flora and fauna. Pawna dam is operated by Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation. The main purpose behind the construction of the Pawna Dam is hydroelectric power generation and water supply. Pawna hydroelectric project and Multipurpose Project are built on Pawna dam with a power generation capacity of 1250 MW. Pawna Lake is essentially an artificial lake brought into existence due to the Pawna dam (Pavana dam). Pawna dam is located on the Pawna river in Maval taluka, around 40 km from the borders of Pimpri Chinchwad city.
