About Valvan Dam
A short trip from the city center and a pleasant walk brings you to this wonderful spot that is a splendid art of nature. The dam which is fed by Khandali River forms a source of water for the Khopoli Power Station below. The expansive layer of blue green tinged water that glistens under the sunshine is a pleasant and delightful sight. The little trimmed garden that sits at one corner of this Dam is yet another charming surprise filled with blossoms of various flowers and other plants.
Freedom to make your own trip!
