Hidden Man-Made Waterfalls in Maharashtra | Chandgad Kolhapur Tourist Places | Near Belagavi City
Have you ever seen a waterfall created by a dam? ๐ฒ๐ฆ
Welcome to Kitwad Waterfalls, a fascinating seasonal monsoon waterfall in Chandgad Taluka, Kolhapur district, Maharashtra, located close to Belagavi, Karnataka.
Unlike a natural waterfall originating from a river, Kitwad Waterfall is formed when water from the Kitwad Small Dam overflows through its spillway during the monsoon. Heavy rainfall fills the reservoir, and the overflowing water transforms the landscape into a spectacular waterfall surrounded by lush green fields ๐ง๏ธ๐พ
The Kitwad Dam, also known as Kitwada Small Dam, was completed in 2000. It is an earthen dam constructed across a local nallah and serves irrigation and water-supply purposes.
๐ Kitwad Village: 22 KM from Belagavi
๐ Chandgad: 44 KM
๐ Kolhapur: 102 KM
๐ง๏ธ Best Time: JulyโSeptember
This is a beautiful example of the fascinating connection between dams, water management, agriculture and the monsoon.
โ ๏ธ Safety First: Kitwad's dam and waterfall area can be extremely dangerous during heavy rainfall. Fatal accidents have occurred here in the past. Never swim in the dam, enter fast-flowing water, or approach slippery waterfall edges. Stay at a safe distance and follow local safety instructions.
