Overview
Bhandardara is one of the most scenic hill regions near Nashik and Ahmednagar, home to the placid Bhandardara Lake (Arthur Lake) backed by the Sahyadri ranges. This day trip covers two of its best-loved waterfalls: Umbrella Falls, named for the umbrella-like spread of water it forms, and Randha Falls, a dramatic 170 ft drop that ranks among Maharashtra's largest waterfalls.
This is a leisurely sightseeing day rather than a trek — there's no significant climbing involved, just scenic drives and short walks to viewpoints, making it suitable for a wide range of ages and fitness levels. The pace leaves plenty of time to relax by the falls with evening snacks before heading back to Igatpuri.

FAQ
Terms & Conditions
Monsoon and just after (June-October) is when Randha Falls and Umbrella Falls are at their most spectacular, though paths near the falls get slippery — rain gear and good footwear are essential. Winter (December-February) offers a calmer, drier visit with pleasant weather for lake views, though the waterfalls will have far less flow.
