Mulshi

If you haven't heard of a place called Mulshi and you are from Pune, then what the heck have you been doing so far?! For starters, it is beautiful and it is so close by, you could practically walk there! Mulshi is the name of the dam on the Mula river and the water from the reservoir is used for irrigation and to generate electricity at the Bhira hydroelectric power plant and sometimes for a nice swim if you're ever in the mood.

After getting my undies wet in the water that awesome morning, my friend tells me they don't let people in the water. "Why", I ask. "Crocodiles", he says with a smile. I did cut my toe on a sharp rock in the water but that is the most anyone bled, thankfully.

If you're ever planning on going there just carry yourself a good pair of swimming trunks because undies will get ruined from the silt and it is just annoying to wash them later. And yeah, beware of the 'crocodiles'.
