Exhale
If you’re a foodie in search of local fare, you’ll be disappointed. There isn’t much to offer in Bhandardara, as far as restaurants or eateries are concerned. Kiosks outside some of the attractions are not the safest bet unless you are in warrior mode. We suggest you head to a home stay or some of the chai tapris (tea stalls) away from the bustle that whip up a mean bhajia platter and onion-laced poha.

The lemongrass-flavoured tea is another must-sample. A word of caution here, the place is pretty much a one-horse town, so stock up with provisions, snacks and other essentials before you head to Bhandardara.
