Bhandardara is all set to become a major tourist hub.
The Maharashtra Tourism Development Corporation (MTDC), Nashik Region, the Bhandardara tourist department, the Tribal Development department and the Public Works Department (PWD) are working together to make Bhandardara a major tourist hub before the commencement of Kumbh Mela in the district.
The development of the destination will see an investment of INR5 crore by the state government. “The 6-km road from Varangushi to Shendi, which was built during the Ghatghar Dam project, is in a very condition.
