Bhandardara Dam




Built in 1926, Bhandardara Dam, noted for its vantage points for nature watching, lies across the Arthur Lake in Ahmednagar District. It is one of the oldest dams in Asia, situated at a height of 750 m from mean sea level. The dam is also known for its Umbrella Falls which provides an awe-inspiring sight to visitors. About 11 km from the dam is another waterfall known as the Randha Falls.

Bhandardara is accessible from Nasik which is at a distance of about 70 km from here. The nearest airport is at Mumbai and the nearest railhead is Igatpuri on Central Railway (45 km).
