Or your have go to Kasara by train from VT station ( Mumbai) ( a fast local will take two hours or slow local will take hours). From Kasara, you can hire taxi or share taxi to reach banadaradara. Buses also available.**Where to stay**We have booked the room in MTDC resort , a good one, with a attached restarant. The food there is alos very good.
*Place**The place is very clam, quite, abd peaceful. adjustant to the lake and a dam. The wilson dam is a state of art and navigates water for the Randha falls , we can also go the kalsubai peak , which is real fun if you are a trekking freak. For silent couples and people who wish to relax this is an ideal place to be. Bhandardara also has an beautiful garden besides the lake where the water flows from the dam, this water is used to supply for the entire igatpuri.
The place is yet be commercialised. Thenights are very cold whereas the day are hot during the summer days. After monsoon, the place is very good to visit.**Problems:** If you go there without a vehicle on your owm , then u cannot see mamy places around, the jeep and the guide is very costly there. **Suggestions**MTDC may orgainise a tour program for the guest.**OVERALL**Nice place , you can energise yourself with the nature.
