Bhandardara

Bhandardara is a hill station nestled in the Sahayadri mountain ranges in Maharashtra. Located on the banks of river Pravara, it is also an excellent place for trekkers. Blessed with lush greenery, Bhandardara is also a popular stopover for tourists travelling to Nashik and Shirdi. According to a legend, sage Agastya meditated here for a year. Pleased with his penance, Gods blessed him with a stream of river Ganga, now known as river Pravara

The Arthur Lake and Wilson Dam are the most famous tourist attractions here. Bhandardara is crisscrossed by trekking trails and dotted with forts. The famous Mount Kalsubai, the highest peak in Maharashtra, is a favorite among trekkers. The trek to the 200-year-old Ratangad Fort is also popular as is the trek to 6th century Harishchandragad Fort.
