Bor Dharan, Wardha

In Wardha district of Maharashtra flows a river named Bor. And in Seloo tehsil there is a dam on the river Bor. Along the huge reservoir surrounded by green hills is a great picnic spot & weekend getaway. Maharashtra Tourism has a resort & attached restaurant here. A few private resorts also operate nearby. Surroundings are lush green jungle like and therefore variety of birds can be seen. Bor Dam is about 40 km from Wardha City.

You can club your visit with visit to Wildlife Sanctuary Interpretation Centre & Bor Safari. Efforts are on to connect this Sanctuary to Pench National Park, Madhya Pradesh. You can also visit beautiful Huen Tsang Buddhist Meditation Centre close to reservoir.
