Humbarli, Satara, Maharashtra, India
The Koyna Dam is built on Koyana River that originates from Mahabaleshwar and is nestled between the Sahyadris in the Western Ghats. The massive structure is spread across 891 Square KM. The drive from Chiplun this place goes through majestic dense forests, plateaus, lush green meadows and scintillating Navna waterfalls. It is not allowed to visit the dam, however, the travellers can take permission letter which is issued in Pune.
Spending the sunrise and sunset by the Koyna dam and its surrounding Nehru Park or staying at MTDC's Koyana Resort is one of the popular things to do.
