Wilson Dam of Bhandardara across the Pravara river is one of the oldest dams in the country. Bhandardara Wilson Dam and Reservoir is one of the best place to visit in Maharashtra during monsoon. The Wilson Dam, built on Pravara river in 1910 is the largest earthen dam in India which speaks of the engineering excellence of those days. The base of the dam has a garden that boasts of thick greenery, huge trees and little streams. In the monsoons, when the water level rises the gates of the dam opens itself to release water into the plains and you can go to the edge of the Garden to enjoy the sprinkles of the water.
