Overview
# Bhandardara Weekend Trip from Mumbai
**Bhandardara** is one of the most serene hill stations in Maharashtra, tucked away in the Sahyadris at the edge of the **Arthur Lake** — a stunning reservoir formed by the **Wilson Dam**. Surrounded by lush green hills and dotted with camping sites right on the lakeshore, Bhandardara offers a perfect digital detox weekend. Spend your days swimming in the lake, hiking to nearby viewpoints, and your nights by a bonfire under a canopy of stars with zero light pollution.
Based in Maharashtra, this easy 2-day trek is best attempted during May, October — when the trail and surroundings are at their most rewarding.
