Tucked away from the city hullabaloo, Bhandardara is an offbeat and quaint little hill station located at a distance of 165 km from Mumbai. Snuggled in the depths of nature, the hill station is blessed with waterfalls, lakes, dams and hilly regions. It is at an elevation of 2460 ft, located in the Ahmednagar district, and settled on the river Pravara. Bhandardara, is therefore, the ideal getaway destination for nature enthusiasts, or for people looking for a tranquil break from routine. According to a myth, Sage Agasthya performed severe penance at Bhandardara for a year. The gods blessed him with the Ganga River since they were utterly pleased by this act of devotion. The same river gifted to him is now known as the river Pravara.
