Lakeview cottages and a treehouse at Bhandardara, set amid forest and mountains near Arthur Lake, about 169 km from Pune.
Bhandardara is a hill village in the Sahyadri, built around Arthur Lake and the Wilson Dam and overlooked by Kalsubai, Maharashtra's highest peak. Aranya Bliss brings that landscape right to your doorstep with lakeside cottages, private villa options and a treehouse experience set amid forest greenery. There is also a shared pool for lazy afternoons. The area is famous during the monsoon, when waterfalls cascade down the hills and the lake fills up, and again in early summer, when fireflies light up the forests on some nights. Winters are cool and clear, perfect for long walks by the water. The mix of cottage, villa and treehouse stays makes it an easy choice for families and groups with different tastes. Bhandardara is about 169 km from Pune, a scenic drive through the countryside.
