Trip to Paleshwar Dam & Waterfall

Paleshwar Dam and Hidden Waterfall

We were in Kolhapur during Ganesh Utsav and wanted to travel to a new place close by which could be covered in the day. We decided to explore Paleshwar Waterfall and Dam which is located on LatLong 16°53'41.1"N 73°52'51.3"E 🚩⛺. It is located 55 kms from the city and would take around 2 hours to reach. A better 4 lane round is now being built.

We began from Kolhapur in the afternoon post lunch. We packed very lightly and only carried clothes for the kid in case he intends to play in the water. We were passing through the area of village Aavli when my mother-in-law spotted someone very familiar and friends of family. We quickly made a U-turn and reached out to the family friends and they invited us to their home which was close. We spend some good 2 hrs there where we discussed about the past and what they plan for the future. My wife met her childhood friend and they too kept talking about the childhood memories and events which made then smile and emotional.

We were there in Aavli Village till 4pm and then headed towards Paleshwar Dam as we wanted to reach before sunset. The road leading towards Paleshwar Dam is very scenic running through farm lands and untarred roads.

The vehicle reaches only till a certain distance from the waterfall and we quickly parked our vehicle in an open area and headed towards the waterfall.

Here is the illusion within this waterfall, after a certain distance the water from the fall disappears.

And the water disappears










With this we ended our day and short outing with the family. Some pics and videos which we captured during the return.


Overall its a good day journey. One can carry some snacks or food items which suits the need and can have a small picnic. Please keep trash with you and do not liter at such a beautiful place. Hope you enjoyed. Until next time. Bye
