Pashan

[1] Pashan is bordered by Baner in north, Sus on west, Bavdhan in south and Pune University in east.

Lake served as a source of water to old Pashan village, for growing crops all the year round and to nearby Governor's house.

[7] Within municipal limits of Pune city, Pashan has the maximum hill area of 5111.89 hectors (excluding 23 fringe villages).

The hill has variable flat and dome shaped topography much of which is formed by rocky, strata with a small layer of soil.

[10] Recently, deforestation on nearby hills has caused heavy silt formation resulting in decrease in the depth of the lake.

There are a fair amount of gypsy (Lamhani) community that lives around the hills in Pashan – and on a normal day – you are likely to see a few womenfolk with interesting costumes (with mirrors) and nose rings.

Major regions of Pashan were developed by the D R Kulhalli Company, who, still to this day owns large amounts of land in the area.

Suttarwadi, Abhinav College and Pashan village are the major stops for PMPML buses that cater to passengers.

Direct buses are available from these stops to Kothrud Depot, Hinjewadi, Deccan Gymkhana, Marketyard[20] and Pune Station.
