Spiritually important but a fabulous picnic spot. Bhandara is a place which was liked by Sant Tukaram the spiritual Gem of Maharashtra. It is 7 kms towards the west of Pune-Nasik highway. 

Though Sant tukaram resided in Dehu he liked to spend his time over here. The Bhamchandra caves were his favorite. Bhamchandra cave is a big one in which 10 people can easily be at a time. One gets mesmerized by the beauty of the Mahadev temple.
Any bus that goes via Chakan will take you to Bhandara. You reach Bhandara after crossing the bridge over river Indrayani.
Besides all these Bhandara is a wonderful place for picnic lovers.
