You’ll be spoilt for choice for the waterfalls on view

While in Bhandardara, don’t miss the usual spots for your R&R. There’s the imposing Wilson Dam and Lake Arthur, another must-visit.This apart, you can chart your own jungle trail around the many plateaus and hills, a visit to the Randh Falls (11 km away; avoid weekends) and an arduous trek atop the 5,400ft high Mount Kalsubai (en route), which is the highest peak in the Sahyadris. Unless you are a hardcore mountaineer, avoid this trek in the monsoon.

Scenes like these are a common sight throughout the drive to and from Bhandardara

The Ratangad Fort, which is about 22km by road, is perfect, if you dig adventure and history. Throughout you’ll lose count of the tiny seasonal waterfalls that feed the Pravara River. Our suggestion? Don’t leave without getting your feet wet.u00a0
