Bhandardara


Bhandardara is a hill station and a weekend getaway 180 kms from Mumbai and about 80 kms from Nashik. It is set on a dam and is known for its remote and idyllic location, waterfalls around the area and boating in the lake.


 It is a base point for many treks in the area, most notable Harishchandragad. It is an excellent stopover en route to Shirdi and a nice remote peaceful destination.
