The information in this post might be outdated

What Is It?

Samrad village is home to the famous Sandhan Valley Trek during the winters, to a reverse waterfall during monsoons and to fireflies during summers. An overnight camping trip to Bhandardhara entails an encounter with fireflies lighting up trees in the valley. At INR 2,900 per person, it includes transportation, meals and stay. The duration of the trip is Sat, May 27  to 4:00PM – Sun, May 28.

Where Is It?

Bhandardara is around 180km from Mumbai, 160km from Pune and 75km from Nashik. Being fairly remote, the best way to get there is to drive or book a private / share taxi. Nashik is also well connected by train, and from Nashik, Bhandardara is just an hour and a half away.

Who Is It For?

Anyone who loves nature, anyone who is looking to spend the weekend in a different way. Skip the bars for a weekend and experience something surreal instead.

Why Should I Go?

Maharashtra is a sort of a treasure land when it comes to weekend getaways with most of the places being easily accessible. You can sit by the lake, look around at the cultural heritage that the valley has to offer, shop at the local market and so much more.
