Visit to Lonavala Bhushi Dam

Bhushi dam is located about 6 km from Lonavala railway station. There are auto-rickshaws playing between the city and the dam (reasonable fare is around Rs 70, though we had to give Rs 100 on either side to be able to reach). On the way to reach there, you may get a good view of the city from its narrow lanes as well as some most beautiful scenery.

When you reach the site, first you have to keep your shoes somewhere because you can’t reach the dam without entering into water. There are small shops and stalls which can keep your belongings till you return, for a fee. There are also shops which provide slippers for your visit, charging Rs 20 for it. In order to reach the high point of the dam, you will be going through the steps of a waterfall. It is an amazing and refreshing experience!

You can see below some of the images we took during the visit. Second last image shows small fish moving around in the water which got collected in small portions of the rock. The last image is of Shivaji Maharaj, as near Lonavala Railway Station.
