Camping at Bhandardara    Its such rare occasion to see shooting stars in city, but what if you could see them all night long.Yes this is place to be in, vicinity of Bhandardara dam.A place close to  Nashik(around 60km) and 70km from Kasara railway station.  We had decided to go for camping to this site on our first anniversary, a bit surprising isn't it?
