Best Time to Visit
  • Winter (October to February): Best Time. The weather is cool and pleasant during the day and quite chilly at night, perfect for a cozy bonfire and camping.
  • Post-Monsoon (September - Mid-November): Excellent time. The surroundings are lush green, and the weather is pleasant for outdoor activities.
  • Monsoon (June to August): Moderate Season. The area is beautiful with waterfalls, but camping near the lake may not be possible due to rain/water levels, and accommodation might shift to a farmhouse/dormitory. Water sports are still sometimes offered.
Attractions places
  • Bhavali Dam: Picturesque reservoir, a popular picnic spot.
  • Vipassana International Academy (Dhammagiri): Famous center for meditation (note: visitor timings apply).
  • Tringalwadi Fort: Trekking spot offering panoramic views.
