Location:
Ancient, well preserved templeof Lord Shiva at the base, some mammoth sized hills in the juxtapose, including "Kalasubai"- the highest point in Maharashtra, one of the oldest artificial dams in the vicinity - Bhandardara, great, panoramic view all around........ all this describes nothing but the Rat
angad fortIgatpuri is the most convenient station and can be approached either by train or vehicle. From Igatpuri the first bus for Bhandardara leaves at about 5:15 am and it reaches village Shendi/ Bhandardara within 1 1/2 hr (~ 35 km.). The Bhandardara lake has to be crossed by launch. Launch timings are not fixed, enquiry about the same can be made at Shendi.
Precaution
Trek as such is quite simple. In order not to waste time, one should try to catch the 1st bus for Bhandardara and then the launch which normally comes for a ferry from Murshet to Ratanwadi. Have enough water from Ratanwadi itself
as there is no water on the way.

By train/vehicle reach Igatpuri. Village Shendi/Bhandardara is about 35 km from Igatpuri (1st bus at about 5.15 am). From Shendi, walk to village Murshet, cross the lake by launch (enquire to local people for the timings), land on the other side of the lake and reach village Ratanwadi. If you 
have your own vehicle, you can go on other side by the road and reach Ratanwadi directly.
