What people say, in short
Panshet, a dam outside Pune, draws locals for its scenery, with one traveller calling the surrounding areas absolutely stunning even when the dam itself was closed. A commenter recommends the nearby Kokan-Diva trail as a little-known hike with remarkable beauty, and one visitor says they saw nobody on the trail until returning to the start. Others list Panshet among the lakes and dams worth a day trip from Pune.
