About Bhandardara Hill Station

Bhandardara is a serene hill station located in the Western Ghats (Sahyadri range) of Maharashtra. It is known for its calm atmosphere, natural beauty, and less crowded surroundings compared to other hill stations like Lonavala or Mahabaleshwar.

The region is home to Arthur Lake, Wilson Dam, and the majestic Randha Falls, one of the largest waterfalls in Maharashtra. During monsoon season, Bhandardara turns into a lush green paradise with overflowing waterfalls, fog-covered hills, and flowing streams.

It also serves as the base village for trekking to Mount Kalsubai, the highest peak in Maharashtra. The weather remains cool and pleasant, making it an ideal destination for weekend trips, family picnics, camping, and photography.
