Bhandardara is situated 185 km. from Mumbai, in Ahmednagar District, Maharashtra, India. Nestled among the Sahyadri Hills, Bhandardara has all the makings of a beautiful holiday resort with sky-high mountains, roaring waterfalls and lush greenery throughout the year which attract tourists from all over.Fluorescent green paddy fields contrast with bright blue skies above and the murky brown streams that crisscross the whole land and when it rains, and clouds descend from the sky to blanket the earth making the sight truly breathtaking! Bhandardara has many attractions – from majestic Wilson Dam to wondrous Arthur Lake.
As legend has it, Shri Agasti Rishi meditated here for a year, surviving only on water and air. Pleased with his display of devotion, God came down to Earth and blessed Shri Agasti Rishi with a stream of the Ganga river, which is now known as the Pravara River.
Wilson Dam was built way back in 1910 on the Pravara-River and standing 150 mts high, it is the largest earthen dam in India- a powerful testimony to the engineering skills of days gone by. During the monsoon, when the level of the lake rises, the dam opens its gates to release a torrent of water that finds its way down to the plains below.
You could stand at the edge of the garden embankment and enjoy the cool spray, or visit the picturesque Umbrella Falls, which are another major attraction during the monsoon. Arthur Lake, a tranquil blue mirror amidst the dense greenery of Bhandardara, is fed by waters from the Pravara River.
At 1,646 mts, Mount Kalsubai is the highest peak in Maharashtra. A favorite with trekkers; it had great strategic importance during the Maratha wars as an observation post. There is a small temple on the top with an old well in its backyard. It is said that the water level in the well has never dropped below 3ft.
This age-old dwelling of the Agasti Rishi Ashram is mentioned in the scripts of the Ramayana. It is believed that Lord Rama and his brother Laxmana visited Shri Agasti Rishi to seek his blessings. The Rishi gave Lord Rama an arrow, which he used to kill Ravana and rescue his wife Sita. The Ashram, situated on the bank of the Pravara River, continues to attract visitors.
The ancient fort of Ratnagad was one of Shivaji’s favourites. Very popular with nature lovers and trekkers, it offers spectacular views from its ramparts.
Best time to visit: The peak season is between November and April, but Bhandardara is spectacularly beautiful during the monsoons.
