Venna lake is one of the major attractions of Mahabaleshwar. The lake is self-constructed with trees and greenery all around. Huge lake with boating option. There are many other activities to do. It is crowded with people but during summers the water level goes down which makes it not so pleasant view. A boat ride, horse ride, merry rides & chill place to eat & relax.
This is THE place to go boating- boat rates vary by sizes, capacity, and timorously 250 to 750 INR per hour approx. ). You can take a boat by yourself or have an oarsman take you around the lake for a serene, peaceful (might remind you of the Dal lake ride in Kashmir) tour. Once you get this done, you can opt for a single lap of a horse ride or just a few meters away take a ride on Ferris wheels, go-karts, etc. Lined on the opposite side of the lake are plenty of food stalls (what would we do without them off erring the quintessential Chai, Maggi, bhajiya, ice-cream, and the likes of bhutta, vada pav missal, etc. On weekends you must be aware of the traffic and the related crowd (reminds you of dombivili station at 8:20 in the morning)A free to walk place with a sidewalk for visitors just wanting to spend time staring at the lake and enjoying some peace.
