an unexplored heaven

Have a strong car, since the roads are not too good to reach. The hill station is 30 kms on the hill, so one might think that we are heading no where but just persist and u will reach Bhandardara. Go in the monsoons and u can feel the clouds in your face

Weekend getaway to Bhandardara

The route is Thane - Eastern Xpressway - Igatpuri - Ghoti. Ghoti is around 6 km after Igatpuri. There's a right diversion from ghoti that leads to Bhandardara, just after the toll naka at Igatpuri. Mumbai Nasik Highway is in the process of being converted into a 4 lane one. So the progress up to Igatpuri was rather slow with lots of diversions/long queues of trucks. But once beyond Ghoti, really enjoyed the drive. The 6-7 km strech that you need to pass through the middle of Ghoti town is a pain though. The quality of road beyond is just about good enough.
