Walwan Dam is a small but picturesque dam built across the Walwan River, located just before the main Lonavala town. It is a favorite picnic spot for locals and travelers alike, offering expansive views of the surrounding hills and the reservoir. Visitors can walk along the dam wall, enjoy the cool breeze, and take photographs of the serene water body against the backdrop of the Sahyadri mountains. The area is especially lively during the monsoon season when the dam overflows and the landscape turns lush green.

Don't miss

  • Walk along the dam wall for panoramic views of the reservoir and hills.
  • Enjoy a picnic on the grassy banks with family or friends.
  • Visit during the monsoon to see the dam overflowing and the surrounding greenery at its peak.
