Temghar Dam
Mulshi, Pune district, Maharashtra
If you are looking for a quiet dam west of Pune, Temghar Dam is a great choice. Completed in 2000 on the Mutha river, it is one of the four dams of the Khadakwasla system. The lake lies among green hills and sees few visitors compared with the nearby Mulshi. The monsoon is the best time. Check the road and access locally before you go. Carry water and a light jacket, wear sturdy shoes, and keep to marked paths and viewing areas.
