Bhandardara Lakeside Camping with Star Gazing | From Mumbai & Pune
Imagine a dreamy landscape with cozy tents pitched near shimmery blue lakes and skies filled with millions of stars. As the sunsets and rises with utmost charm, the skies are painted various hues of blue, purple, and orange. Welcome to Arthur Lake—one of the most popular attractions of the hill station.
While the pre-monsoon season calls for the spotting of hundreds of fireflies, the monsoons and winters offer trekking and camping opportunities, and Bhandhardara’s multitude of crystal-clear streams and waterfalls, fishing, and boating make it an attraction for tourists all year round.
Bhandardara Camping Star Gazing offers an unmatched number of options for travelers of all kinds to seek their slice of nature and relaxation. Its proximity to Mumbai and steadily increasing tourist infrastructure make it a must-visit weekend getaway spot.
Camping in Bhandhardara is one of the best camping sites in Maharashtra. There are many Bhandhardara camps near Shendi village in Ighatpuri, but our campsite is on an island, and that makes our campsite beautiful and exciting.
