An agro retreat by the water at Tapola, near the Shivsagar backwaters, around 160 km from Pune.
Farm life meets waterside calm at Aqua Vista Agro Retreat, near the village of Tapola. The property sits by the water on the backwaters of the Koyna dam, a broad, forest-fringed expanse that locals know as Shivsagar lake. As an agro retreat, it leans into rural surroundings rather than resort polish, which makes it a good choice for families who want children to experience open land and fresh air. The landscape changes with the seasons: misty and green through and after the monsoon, clear and cool in winter, with the hills of the Mahabaleshwar range forming a constant backdrop. It is the kind of place to slow down, take short walks and watch the water. Tapola is roughly 160 km from Pune, reached via Mahabaleshwar on a winding forest road.
