Which road
Route From Pune to Bhandardara
The road leaves Pune on the Nashik highway, passes Narayangaon and then turns through Sangamner and Akole side roads to Bhandardara. Local roads can be slow, so the route usually takes longer than the kilometres suggest.
The last stretch to Bhandardara is a narrower local road through the Ghoti–Shendi side. It passes farmland and small villages and then climbs towards the lake and dam area.
Roads in the final part can be wet in the monsoon, and the waterfalls and the lake draw heavy weekend traffic. Plan your arrival for the morning.
Siya Travels drivers choose the practical route on the day based on traffic and road condition. If you prefer a particular road, mention it when you request a quote.
Travel time
How Long Does Pune to Bhandardara Take?
Plan on 4–5 hours for the drive, then add time for breaks. These factors change the real journey time:
Leaving Pune or Bhandardara at peak hours can add noticeable time. An early start usually saves time.
Where the road climbs or descends through hilly stretches, speeds drop, especially in rain and fog.
Allow time for toll plazas, a tea or meal break and a fuel stop. A trip with children or senior citizens needs more stops.
Monsoon rain and fog can slow the drive. Check the weather forecast the day before.
On long weekends and festival days, popular routes carry more vehicles. Plan extra buffer time.
