Khopoli (Marathi pronunciation: [kʰopoˈliː], ISO: Khōpōlī) is an industrial city in the Khalapur taluka of Raigad district, in the Indian state of Maharashtra, at the base of the Sahyadri mountains.
Patalganga River, which is the tailrace channel of the Tata Hydroelectric Power Station, flows through Khopoli.
Industries are well developed due to the strategic importance of the region as the Mumbai-Pune Expressway passes through the city.
[citation needed] Khopoli is connected with metro cities like Mumbai and Pune by rail and road.
Imagica Theme Park, KP Falls and Zenith waterfall are the key attraction of this place.
A colonial source describes Khopoli as follows: The Bhor ghat is formed of a succession of lofty eminences, towering above each other, the last of which attains a height of 2000 feet (610 m) above the level of the sea.
Its outline at a distance is bold and imposing; it presents a plane or table summit, with ranges of stupendous hills beyond, with the sublimity of which Europe possesses little that is analogous; at its foot stands the small and romantic village of Campolee, which has a noble tank and a Hindu temple, both built by Nana Furanvese (the Peishwa's prime minister) at his individual expense.
[11]There was an annachatra or a free feeding house, in the vicinity of the Mahadev temple, but by 1882 all that remained of it were huge grinding stones.
[5][13] Khopoli is the site of the first privately owned hydroelectric power station in India built by the Tatas.
[39] The major tourist attractions in the city include Adlabs Imagica, which is India's largest theme park.
Mahad Ganpati Temple, Zenith Waterfalls, and Gangangiri Maharaj Ashram Lonavala is just 8 km away from the city.
