My TripAdvisor Review No.281: Manikdoh Dam, Junnar, Maharashtra.

Scenic View of Lake and Dam.

We drove down to the Manikdoh Lake and Dam after visiting the Lenyadri Caves near Junnar. The dam is located about 11 km from Lenyadri and the road passes through a couple of villages en route. The road is reasonably good but narrow in places.

Entry to the dam is not permitted, so we drove beyond the dam up the hillside encircling the dam. On the way we passed the Wildlife SOS Leopard Rescue Centre. The gates of the Rescue Centre are closed to the public unless one has got special permission from the Forest Department in Junnar.

The dam is constructed on the Kukadi River which flows near Junnar and Ozar in the Ghod basin in Pune district. It is surrounded by the Sahyadri mountain ranges of Maharashtra.

There is not much else to see besides the backwaters of the dam, and you can enter the Leopard Rescue Centre only if you have the required permission. It can be skipped if you are short of time.
