Ideal time to visit this place is in
the month of August. The Dam overflows and fun lovers hate to miss this golden
opportunity. The extra water overflows from the staircase like structure. This
is like a outlet for the water and this is the point after coming where one
feels like being in Lonavala that one has heard of.
Bushi Dam is located a few kilometres from Lonavala and is a
very (very very) popular weekend hangout for Pune’ites. When the Bushi dam
overflows, the water flows over a series of steps and then over some easily
accessible rocky terrian. The terrain and the water make for a fun combination
and this is why Bushi dam gets extremely crowded on weekend. So crowded, that a
first time vistor (like me) would be left searching for the “steps” which
everyone talks about, only to realise that every inch of the steps have been
occupied.
Every
open space close to Bushi dam will have a board “Bushi dam
parking” and there will be guys literally peeping inside your car and
turning
your steering wheel towards their parking. Thebest place to park would
be
beyond the dam (on coming from Lonavala) om the sides of the road.
Parking on
the road also helps you to get out of the place faster. There are no
single/double yellow lines to bother you here.
To
reach the dam, you have to wade through knee-deep water
(depending on the water level). There are lot of shops selling rubber
slippers
which are more suited to the water/rocks rather than your expensive fake
Nike
shoes. But, i noticed that many were well prepared and had worn the
worst
slippers that they could find at home.
Bushi dam is so commercialized to the extent that there are a
few dozen shops in the small area next to the dam selling anything from corn
and pakodas to chai. You can relax on the steps and order them and they will be
delivered to you right at your doorstep
Overall,
this is a good place to visit if you love getting wet
from head-to-toe.
