Venna Lake, Mahabaleshwar

Water is smelly. Too dusty area... Boats are not clean. One time visit is ok.. Good no of food stalls, parking is there...

One of the most famous and widely visited tourist attraction in Mahabaleshwar, specially know for the boat rides and the roadside snacks near to it, also one can take horse rides next to the lake. It's a must visit place in Mahabaleshwar, this is man made lake, it's recommended to visit this place in the Evening during sunset, as the sunset from this point is very beautiful and one shall enjoy the boat ride with a scenic view.

Good experience. Enjoyed Row boat for 1/2 hour. Max 07 person including child. 1/2 hour ride - INR 250. Paddle boat -06 person - INR 440 for 1 hour. Outside enjoy Boiled Corn, Mulberry, Pear, raw mangoes for INR 70-80. Horse riding next to it @ INR 150 per round.

Verna lake has good food stalls & parking area near it. There is boating facility out there. The cost is really high of approx 1200 for half hour & 600 for 15 mins. But the boating experience is quite good.

Venna Lake is a great tourist attraction spot in Mahabaleshwar. This lake was constructed by Shri Appasaheb Maharaj, who was Raja (King) of Satara in 1842. The length of the lake is 4 km and width is 1.5 kms. The lake is surrounded by green trees. In late evening one can see the clouds passing over lake water. There is a horse ride just next to the lake. Also, lot of food joints on the road. Few local vendors sell carrots and strawberry near the road. I will highly recommend to buy carrots as they are organic and tastes great. Venna Lake is approx 2 kms away from ST stand/ city market. There are few attractions for kids like toy train, toy cups, giant wheel etc. The rates for boating are 500+200 for 30 mins assisted ride. 200 for the boating person. Be careful while using google map as it can direct to other side of lake where you will not be able to reach main lake entrance. Note:- Please like the review if the information is found useful 🙏🏻
