Why go to Bhandardara
Arthur Lake, Randha Falls and starry night skies. A lake-and-waterfall retreat near Maharashtra's highest peak, best in and just after the monsoon.
Is it worth it?
Bhandardara deserves a night — the 2.75-hour drive makes a same-day return tiring. It's the natural extension if you have four or five days.
