Nestled just 7km away from Hinjewadi, Kasarsai Dam is a serene place for an evening getaway. Roads to the dam are decent; however, the last 500m stretch to the entrance can be a bit rough, so brace yourself for a bumpy ride.
Be prepared for nominal entry fees, with car entry priced at 50 and two-wheelers at 30. Parking facilities for both two and four-wheelers are sufficient, ensuring a hassle-free experience.
Upon reaching the vicinity, the tranquility of the backwaters immediately washes over you. Boating enthusiasts will find Kasarsai Dam to be a delightful spot.
