Kasarsai Dam



I was heard about this small dam near Pune,and decided to visit it on one weekend.I started from my home in the afternoon and it took 1 hour to reach there,it is about 16 kms from my place that is Pimpri.Dam was full to its capacity and the view was awesome.It is sorrounded by a range of mountains from all the side.It is a small dam with only two doors and it supplies water to PCMC region.

Note:-The water level appears to be not very deep,however the local people there suggests not to try any adventure with water as it is very deep and may be dangerous.
